You can share files with others, but can more than one person synch with it without files being merged? i.e. family use for many users or ea need own?

Yes-the transporter can define permissions on files as well as which transporter has priority. The transport is not all to all as you can define folders with different properties.

I have 1 transporter shared between 3 families. All families can download and upload files to the same folder.

Yes, I use one at work and share with several departments. I also have another at home and share files with other family members. I access both and we all update files.

frankly, this product has been a disappointment. Forget about sharing--we cannot even load our photo library on it without trouble as the thing is very cumbersome. For us, this was a total waste of money.

No, it is not possible for the 4 users to work at the same time. You definitely would need a multi user version.

No problem, I just use windows explorer to copy the .QBW (quick books company file) file from my desktop into the equivalent folder on the laptop overwriting the old files and voila they are synched. But be very careful to really overwrite older with newer data and not vice versa or forget to synch before you continue entering data (as it has happened to me) otherwise it is a mess. Good luck.

I'm going to assume you mean can multiple people use this at once. No, you cannot.

I am doing this for a work site to the main office. It's a bit buggy getting it running though and will need public IP addresses. You may want to review current documentation though to verify they haven't created a sync via hosted web service since we set ours up.

While it is considered "locked" into one game, you can sync it with another copy of the game, but all your data (Including the pokemon that you didn't remove from the pokewalker) will be erased. I was able to do it, so its possible. However, it can only be synchronized with one game at a time.

Yes, I'm currently using it to collaborate on music projects with a friend. You just add a new user and select what sort of access (read only, read/write) and the files and folders on the WD drive you want that person to view. They will receive an email invite that provides them with the link and info they need to gain access.

More than one person can use the software. Be careful to uninstall the product where it is not used as the license codes are device specific and can not be re-used unless released using their procedure in the software.

I typically purchase the disc version over the download version for this very reason. I install it, and then pass it on to my brother and sister who who it for both of their families. Since it has 5 federal e-files included, we all e-file at no cost (and still have 2 e-files remaining that go unused). When you pass on the disc you will need to also provide them the Key Code that came in the box as this is what is used to determine how many e-files you have lest. We have been doing this for the past 3 or 4 years.

Yes. It can be set up a number of ways, but anything that can see it on the network (much like a network printer can be seen) can use it. It starts off with Public Shares that everyone can see. Then, if you want, you can setup a User or two and keep those separate - meaning that those separate User Shares can only be seen by the people with the correct login. The interface is quite simple to use and the software walks you through the process.

I would think so. There is a syncing process that you must do to link the devices. I imagine if you do not go through the process of syncing them then each device operates individually.

I haven't actually tried the cloning feature - some of the other reviewers suggested that there were issues. I would typically use cloning sofware.

The program allows up to 5 users at a time, but can only be loaded to one device. If you put it on a device you both have access to, (aka a family computer) you will both be able to use it.

I've wondered about this too. When I purchased this drive all I wanted was a drive, not a lot of software. And I have no interest in their sharing capability on social media. Maybe someone can answer this, like Seagate themselves.

It took me 20-30 minutes to sync them together. I would say just keep trying. It may not sync easily, but you only have to do it once after all.

I divide my files on the computer. I have never tried from the unit itself. I am not familiar with the other unit you mentioned.

As long as it is multi-user disk (3 user), just download it to each computer using user key
