If this is plugged in at home can you still acess the files from work or on the road

Yes you can access files remotely from work, friends, during travel. There are instructions to set it up. In addition, there is an app - Android - Seagate Media - for accessing files on mobile devices. I am sure there is one for apple too. I hope this helps. If you purchase and run into any problems, their tech support seems very helpful and friendly.

Yes. Depending on the size of the file, it will take a while to download, and streaming something like a movie is a misnomer. It actually downloads to your device, again requiring some amount of time depending on the speed of your connections as well as the capabilities of your router.

Yes, however you have to download a desktop version from the Chrome store. When you are not connected to wifi, some of the capabilities are limited, but you can still use and save your documents until you are reconnected

The storage is on a computer or external drive connected to a router. Depends on the capacity of the drive.

That is entirely up to you. I leave it plugged in on long trips to monitor performance, bit take it out when we get home. It is used mostly as a code reader for my son's truck.

No, but if the computer it is plugged into is on and running a network, then you can send use the network to print files from any computers/laptops on the home network.

Yes it can. But you will be able to locate it once it goes online. Make sure to setup security options though. Or download androiod device manager or avg free.

Sure you can. You connect to the drive via Wi-Fi and the drive connect to the Internet bridging you to the Internet. Works really good.

This is a Network Attached Storage, so it can be accessed by any device ON YOUR NETWORK. It does not have a USB port,it ATTACHES TO YOUR NETWORK, via your router or network switch.

Yes it can. This is how it is powered when you connect it to a computer to download files.

Yes sir, assuming you have iTunes, Windows Media Player, or some other player installed on the machine to which this drive is cabled.

No way I can see. It is powered by the USB connection and data is moved the same way. There is no other connection.

This is basic networking question. The answer is yes. If you have wireless network set up at home then you have access to all you network files. Internet has nothing to do with your wireless LAN

You can read and transfer files on/through the dongle when it's plugged into the USB port.

Yes, this is the whole point. As long as your outlets are connected to the same main circuit (they should be), you can transport the signal anywhere at home.

The drive app will see the folders; how it interacts w/ your ethernet question is unknown. It should work, but ... connectivity is diceySorry I cannot be more specifici

Yes it is a Network drive that plugs into your router, NOT your computer It can be accessed from any computer on the network and files, music, photos etc can be sharedEasy to set up and use I have a 2TB duo & 3TB duo set up with a mirror driveFiles stored on one auto back up to the second drive

Yes, you can access the files using the same IP Address method you would with mobile devices. However, it would typically make more sense to plug the dive into your laptop to play the files. It is an external hard drive remember. But I guess if you had multiple laptops to share it with at one time the wifi mode would be best.
