Downloading Content to Your Media Device or Computer
In addition to streaming your content from the GoFlex Satellite device, you can copy files
from the drive to your media device or computer. This is a handy feature if you want to travel
with some of your media files but don’t want to carry along the GoFlex Satellite device. Your
only limit to the number of files you can download is the available storage space on your
media device or computer.
To download files:
1. Locate the file(s) that you want to download in one of the media folders (Videos, Photos,
Music, Documents).
2. Select the Options button and then either individually select the files to download or select
Select all to choose all of the files in the current folder.
3. Select the Download button.
The files begin to download to your device. To stop downloading of a file, select the X on the
icon of a downloading file.
The files you download to your device are available for playback from the Local Content
section of the GoFlex Media app. If you are using a computer, downloaded files are stored in
the location you chose.
