Sharing Your Pictures and Videos

Seagate Dashboard provides a convenient way to upload your pictures and videos to popular social networking services such as Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube.

You simply choose the social networking service where want to upload the pictures and videos, log in, select the files to upload, and enter album details. Seagate Dashboard automatically uploads the files and creates the album.

See “Sharing Your Pictures and Videos” on page 17 for information on how to use the Share feature.

Downloading and Saving Your Pictures

Seagate Dashboard’s Save feature can check your Facebook or Flickr accounts for new pictures you’ve uploaded and automatically download them to your computer at home. This is a convenient way to preserve the pictures you’ve posted online, so they don’t get deleted accidentally.

See “Saving Your Online Pictures with Seagate Dashboard” on page 21 for information on how to use the Save feature.
