Seagate Wireless apps

The Seagate Media app is a little different. Made for use with the Seagate Wireless external hard drive, it lets the latter act more like a media server. The app’s available on Android and iOS devices as well as Windows and Mac desktop OSs and when using it, you access the drive over Wi-Fi. The app interface is split into four folders (music, photos, videos and documents) that mirror what’s on the drive and the app lets you view all to these various media fi les – and you can also upload and download these fi les over Wi-Fi. In comparison to external hard drive speeds, moving stuff over Wi-Fi is frustratingly slow, so we’d recommend connecting the drive through USB for bigger fi le transfers. For streaming media, the app works reasonably well and it can even stream to selected LG smart TVs, Chromecasts and Rokus.
