Connecting the Seagate Wireless Harddrive to your smart device is really simple. Push the button on the drive itself and wait for the WiFi icon to light up. Now you can easily find the SeagateWireless network in your WiFi settings and connect. You will temporarily need to disconnect from your normal WiFi, but don’t worry. The Seagate Wireless hard drive has a passthrough function. Tab the ‘Connect SeagateWireless to the internet’ field and enter your WLAN settings and you’re good to go.

Once connected, you can select what you wish to see on the drive. It has the connection settings at the top, media libraries below and files and folders at the bottom.
