The options in the Seagate Dashboard will take you to an online, browser-based GUI running off the GoFlex with the provided IP by your router (in my case, 192.168.100.124).

The GoFlex will present itself over the network as a UPNP device, at which point double-clicking it will install a storage driver, which will then allow root access to the device:
The software also maps the drive into three categories automatically (Backup, Personal, Public), and a fourth should you add a storage device/devices via USB (External Storage) The drive mapping, however, can be done manually as well without the software. Not too shabby of an investment considering the extra goodies: The Memeo Backup service costs a one-time payment of $49.95 for all devices attached to the GoFlex, with a 30-day free trial.

The documentation stated that the Pro version would cost $19.99/month, however a quick search reveals an update page with a new price of $9.99 for life with a free trial before you decide to buy. A comparison of both services is listed below: However, only the data on the GoFlex associated with that account will be allowed access, thus in order to create separate sharing spaces on the drive for various users, new user accounts will need to be created for each. Chances are most people will not have more than five computers, and in case that situation occurs, a user account can be reused on any machine. The Seagate Share software has a few drawbacks, the main one being that the standard free version only allows five users accounts, and the second being the exclusion of various features. Both allow configurations of the drives connected to the GoFlex, whether it is another GoFlex drive, or external drives running off of the GoFlex’s USB port:
Adding users and computers is extremely simple, as well as the instant backup provided by the Memeo service. The FreeAgent GoFlex Home comes with its own software called the Seagate Dashboard, powered by Memeo Instant Backup service, with the drive being run by Axentra OS.
