I have a Seagate GoFlex hard drive that I can no longer access from my tablet or phone. Luckily I can still access it from my laptop, but I think I need to get a new one so I don't loose all of my files.
I will never buy a Seagate product again. as the idea of a product having zero ability to work although the device I'd perfect seems crazy
Seagate makes it difficult to access my information even when I'm in my own home and there is no way I can access it remotely.
Doesn't appear to work at all. Entered account id, user name, pwd and pressed [Logon]. Then it does nothing!
was working very well until the last android update ,now it doesn't work at all
It doesn't work anymore says device is offline when it isn't
Stopped working completely. No product support anymore.
It could have been better if you didn't have to remember the name
Waste of time where does one get Adobe Air from ?
As other users have said this app responds pretty slowly when navigating folders. On the other hand it works great to upload files from my phone to the goflex home. Uploads just as fast if not faster than from my laptop. At least until i moved and now once i re-hooked up the goflex home. Not it wont log in from app. Been trying for weeks and nothing.
used to work fine now I cannot login to goflexhome.just get error message saying device off line. its not. so app is useless and so is the seagate drive since i can no longer access it. Clearing cache and app data does not fix problem either. last time I will ever buy a seagate product
Won't accept password! I am sitting here looking at my desk top web access with the password and username showing, and the mobile site says invalid password or username! Too bad I used to use it everyday until this problem presented itself out of the blue. If customer service actually reads this please advise.
IF, if it played .common movie files it would be great...it dose NOT. I downloaded a 1.5 GB movie and no sound. I suggest that this is oly for documents and pictures. I'll be removing it and paying to extend my capacity on Google Drive for my pics and docs, my movies, Ill find another way to bridge the 2 TB worth of movies on the Seagate. By the way great files storage unit!
I have a seagate 2 TB NAS bay and i tried all the apps Seagate has and still cant access my files on it locally. Even if im connected to the network. Still no go. Apparently seagate cant get the most simplest connection to work. Tried ES File Explorer instead found all my network in a minute.
this drive and its software are a complete joke. I have installed the App on an android and an apple device, both of them will not work. its does not allow you to play .avi or .mp4 files with the programs already installed on your device and then all I keep getting are error messages. please do not waste your time and purchase something else....absolute crap
What a waste. The app will NOT find my networked drive or allow me to login. Other apps let me see the drive, log in to the drive and move files in and out. Just not this crappy app that is supposedly for my external networked H/D. Then just opens whenever it wants and hangs so you can't close it.
The app DOESN'T RESPOND VERY FAST when you try to scroll (not the phone) & asks for MORE PERMISSIONS THEN IT NEEDS! I can still use it though to get files from my hard disk at home, so not too bad.
Don't bother with this app it's no good just use your browser to logon remotely using the goflex Web portal. Then save the link on bookmarks or shortcuts on homepage. This is a cheap approach to Nas but it works better than this app that occupies space working poorly..
For an app that's supposed to allow you to stream your videos it is very poor in doing so. Can't even stream videos created by the Samsung galaxy nexus that created the video in the first place (reporting unsupported video format for device). Please update the app to provide the ability to view or download when pressing down for a few seconds on the selected video before it automatically tries to stream when video is selected.
"allows you to remotely access all the photos, movies, music" says the sales pitch. NO IT DOESN'T. It seems to only play music if it's in mp3 format, a format I do not use. And I haven't got it to play any videos. This is basic stuff and I'm angry at the lies Seagate is pedalling to sell these things.
The droid apps on my HTC Inspire and Acer Iconia tablet work flawlessly. i can even upload files from both devices. this is a plus if i am on vacation and want to immediately backup pictures to my home network. i re-read reviews, it seems slowness is an issue with some folks, but being on a fiber network, i am happy to report that is not an issue. i cannot say if the problem with slowness not being an issue is because i am on a fiber optic network, or the software was resolved. i am very happy with the apps as well as being able to upload/download from my netbook too.. great product, happy customer
Can view only. Won't play Wmv files. Can't email or save. Very lamb. That makes it useless. After further attempts to find anything of use I've concluded this is the stupidest app I've seen. Can't save or share. Allows Seagate to make the claim of a phone app - guess that's about all though. Don't buy Seagate ext.drives if you want to access your data through the cloud.
Certificates are still untrusted, stucks at authentication, every once in awhile comes back an error: device is off/wrong user ID/Pass. Though can log in with a browser. Should have made a modified browser, would have been a lot better.
App not compatible with Nexus 7 so you cant even download, Nexus 4 download and brings up logon screen, enter details nothing happens! The iphone version of this app worked straight out of the box was watching video in less then 30 seconds on my 4s The Android app useless! As my Nexus7 & Nexus4 both run same version version Jellybean how can it not be compatible!!,
After updating to Lollipop app disappeared from my device. I will not install on my Nexus 5. It installed on my Nexus 9 but will not run. It has NEVER worked on my Nexus 7. Wouldn't it be nice if Seagate actually updated this thing to work with devices made in the last 2 years? Old Review (for older devices): *Video Playback Works Great* It takes a while to logon, but once on, navigation is easy and video playback is great. The quality of the video looks pretty good on my 3G phone. However this app seems to depend on flash, which is no longer supported. This app won't even install on my Nexus 7 running Jelly Bean.
User experience is very bad. Here are the major problems that I'd like to see fixed. 1. Download capability 2. Ability to to use ES File Explorer. 3. Ability to go back to the media that was playing. Basically if the phone rings while you're listening to an mp3, game over. I'm not sure you would release a product/service without the ability to go back to your media but this is a major design flaw.
So disappointed!! Come on guys! it's not all about playing music and video files. Have you ever tried to download a folder or do a simple copy/paste using this interface? It only allows you to access individual files and if that's a media file then good luck with being able to play it. In other words, it won't let you manage directories. When I was buying this device I thought I could leave my portable hard drive at home and access my files and FOLDERS online from anywhere; well, I was wrong! I do not recommend downloading this app or even investing in the device itself. I have a feeling my GFH is finding its way to eBay one of these days!
Works perfectly with my Galaxy S9. Had a bit of trouble getting Adobe Air downloaded since it was taken off the Google Play store, but once I found the apk on Adobe's site everything went smoothly from there.
