This is a great way to share information due to the potential for uploading from one friends system while simultaneously uploading or downloading to three other devices at the same time.http://media.seagate.com/files/2009/09/seagate_fa_dockstar_ds_us.pdf This is all done from a 1 pound adapter from one central location. There is a free iPhone application that will allow you to send pictures to it's own folder for storage while you are away from home.

Connect your FreeAgent Go drive or four other USB storage devices.

Once you connect to the web you are able to create the shared space. The share space will only appear as a drop and drag section on your home computer or your portable devices.

The DockStar allows you to share files and since it can support up to four storage devices gone are the times of running out of storage space.

This will allow you to access and share files over the Internet. Without special software. In a small enough size that it can be taken with you when you are on the go.http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_freeagent_dockstar.pdf

The DockStar can be used with any USB drive including (but not limited to) those manufactured by Seagate / FreeAgent.

One of the newest features of this gadget is the ability to send pictures from your iPhone directly to a folder in the FreeAgent DockStar network Adapter.

John P. Falcone from CNET says"you can download Pogoplug's software plug-ins for mapping the DockStar to a drive letter on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. Even better, Pogoplug offers a free iPhone app that lets you access files via iPhones and iPod Touch handhelds. On the downside, Seagate is charging $30 per year for the capability to access the drive from outside your home network (after one year of free access)".http://reviews.cnet.com/storage-accessories/seagate-freeagent-dockstar/4505-6517_7-33771022.html?tag=mncol;lst

From Sal Cangeloso at Geek.com "the FreeAgent DockStar is an ideal solution for media sharing and is one of the best ways for consumers to share multiple gigabytes of data. All the problems with Pogoplug still apply (like slow upload speeds from home accounts) but $30 a year for sharing a ton of data (well into the terabyte range if you use the USB ports) and a one-time fee of $99 isn’t bad for unlimited data sharing and a nice internet app to do it with". http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/review-seagate-freeagent-dockstar-network-adapter-20090929/
