Make Contact With Your Content.
The FreeAgent DockStar™ network adapter allows you to share your digital life with anyone, anywhere. Centralize
your files to a single location and access them with any networked computer in your home. Create a shared space
for your friends to download content you designate and to upload their own content.
The FreeAgent DockStar network adapter is a compact dock which allows FreeAgent Go™ portable drives and
most USB storage devices to be shared on your local network or accessed remotely via the internet, after service
activation. The FreeAgent Go drive simply slides into the FreeAgent DockStar network adapter, making it easy to
remove when you want to take the drive with you while on-the-go. All other USB storage devices plug into one of
the two rear-mounted or one side-mounted USB ports. The FreeAgent DockStar network adapter simultaneously
supports up to four storage devices, so you will never have to worry about running out of storage space. And, you
will experience incredible performance with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
The installation process couldn’t be any easier. Simply plug in two cables (Ethernet and power) and visit the web
activation page to activate and automatically configure the network adapter. Once activated, you can access all
your files with a clean, web-based interface. The same interface is used to view files from any networked computer
in your home and outside of the home when accessing files remotely. The user interface displays all the files on all
of the drives you have connected to the FreeAgent DockStar network adapter, along with all of the files shared with
you by other FreeAgent DockStar network adapter owners.
You can easily navigate the user interface with thumbnail or list views, search by file name or filter by media type.
The FreeAgent DockStar network adapter also appears like a local drive on your computer, so that you can easily
navigate and drag-and-drop files just like a folder on your desktop. With a free iPhone
®
app, you will always have
access to your content, even while on-the-go. You can send pictures straight from your iPhone to a folder on the
FreeAgent DockStar network adapter.
The FreeAgent DockStar network adapter offers one of the easiest ways to share files with friends, anywhere in the
world. Simply type in your friends’ email addresses and they will receive an email linked to the folders or files you
chose to share with them. They will now have access to their own FreeAgent DockStar interface which displays all
of the files shared with them. If your friends also have FreeAgent DockStar network adapters, they will not only see
their own files, but all of the files shared with them in the same user interface.
Integrate with your favorite social media sites and keep your friends in the loop with easy-to-publish RSS feeds,
allowing you to easily update your shared content. Instead of constantly uploading new images to your favorite
social media page, simply copy and paste a single RSS link from the FreeAgent DockStar folder containing the
pictures you want to share. Now, every time you add pictures to that particular folder on the FreeAgent DockStar
network adapter, they will automatically appear on your social media page. No need to waste time uploading to the
internet! Transferring files to your FreeAgent DockStar network adapter, using your home network, is significantly
faster than uploading to the internet.
