Seagate Media

Using the app to connect to my personal cloud is a great way for me to manage my video library. The remote function can be hard at times to connect, but while on the WiFi on the same network as the cloud it works really good. This work for me!

Hard drive files are unaccessible due to endless indexing. Meanwhile VLC player can access them immediately. Garbage. App crashes frequently when playing feature length film stored on iPad. Meanwhile vlc player plays the same movies flawlessly. Garbage. Frequent popup says not connected to network when playing music stored on iPad preventing navigation until you acknowledge the alert. Garbage. Random music player only plays the first couple hundred songs on list unless you scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. Have fun scrolling through thousands of songs every time you want to listen so you’ll be able to hear the whole collection. Garbage. When uploading photos to hard drive this app only allows 50 files at at time. Try transferring 500 photos. Get ready for a long, broken up project that should be simple. Garbage. If you want to find what else doesn’t work, get this app!

I had initially bought goflex home from seagate few years ago to set up my NAS. It worked great until last year when they decided to stop supporting remote access feature. Why would anyone setup NAS if not for remote access. My IOS app doesn’t work anymore. So I decided to buy another Seagate product that I could connect to remotely. Only to learn recently that they are stopping that support as well. What a lousy company that pushes its products only to stop supporting them few years later. It’s a nice way to force user to keep buying new product which would be obsolete soon. I wonder if this is even legal.

Once decent, but now I can longer back up my phone unless I’m on my home network. I used to back up pics when on vacation but this no longer available. Nor can I back up on my home network, I get error message saying I need 1 gb of free space on my phone ( I have 15). The url connection says is broken, but yet I can connect. Don’t get this hard drive or app. SeagateMedia support is standard boiler plate foreign country IT help.

I wanted to use this for the time machine backup on my Mac. And it does that because I had to reformat it for the Mac and it has to be connected via the USB. However once you remar it for a Mac for time machine the app is completely useless! I spoke with Seagate customer support and confirmed the above. Only solution is to either buy another Seagate for the time machine or to restore device to orginal format and not use it as a time machine backup. Waste of money.
