Logging In to the Seagate Dashboard You log in to the Seagate Dashboard for the first time during setup (see page 9), and you remain logged in even when you shut down your computer. You don't need to log in each time you open the Dashboard. However, you can log in to the Dashboard from any computer that's connected to GoFlex Home, even if someone else is already logged in with their own account. By logging in as yourself, you gain access to your own GoFlex Home folders. Note: Changing users on the Dashboard interrupts any file backup plan set up on the computer (see page 39). If you have logged in to the Dashboard on someone else's computer, allow them to log in again as soon as possible for their current backup plan to continue uninterrupted. To log in to the Dashboard when someone else is already logged in: 1. Open the Seagate Dashboard on the computer (see page 28). 2.
