3. Setting Up GoFlex Home – Mac
Setting up GoFlex Home is easy. This chapter explains each step and provides suggestions 
and options for getting the most out of GoFlex Home.
Step 1: Familiarizing Yourself with the Setup Process
Before you begin, familiarize yourself with the steps you’ll follow while setting up GoFlex 
Home, and with the folders that GoFlex Home creates automatically for you during setup.
Main Setup Steps
Connect GoFlex Home (as described in the printed Quick Start Guide).
Name, activate, and register GoFlex Home.
Install the desktop applications on your own computer: 
ComputersBackup
GoFlex Home Agent
SmartFolderShortcut (which allows you to access your files through Finder)
SmartWebShortcut (which opens the Seagate Share application in your browser)
Configure Time Machine to use GoFlex Home as your file/system backup device.
Install the desktop applications and configure Time Machine on the other Mac computers 
on your home network (or set up Windows computers—see page 9).
Understanding GoFlex Home’s Automatic Folder Creation
When you create your own user account and password during setup, GoFlex Home 
automatically creates three folders on the drive for you:
Public folder, where files can be stored and accessed by everyone on your home 
network.
Personal folder that only you can access, where you can store personal or private files 
that you don’t want anyone else on your home network to see.
Backup folder that only you can access, where all your backup files are stored.
GoFlex Home also automatically creates Personal and Backup folders for each user account 
you create for the members of your household. Once setup is complete, each member of 
your household can upload their own digital media and other files to GoFlex Home by 
dragging and dropping files from their computers to the folders of their choice. For more 
information, see “Copying Your Files to GoFlex Home” on page 37.
