Online Folder Organizer And Expense Software

Not a fan of online software but it does what it does...

I use this drive to back up files from my desktop that I take with me when I travel. Having no interest in WD's backup software, I was concerned that the software would be preinstalled and difficult to remove, as was the case with previous generation Passport dirves. The software is NOT preinstalled, but resides as an executable file in a folder on the drive: If you do not want the software, simply do not install it. This folder also contains some useful diagnostic utilities and installing those is the easiest way to register the drive, which I recommend. After I did that, I moved the entire folder to another drive, which leaves a completely empty drive. Although some users of 5400 RPM drives claim that they are not appropriate for storage, I have never found this to be the case. I have large RAW and .tif files as well as .wavs and various video files and all work fine. This drive is quiet and runs cool. Although it does not have an off switch, unplugging it is not a problem. It is a USB 3.0 drive, but functions fine with USB 2.0. A SATA connection would be nice, but I've had no issues with speed whatsoever.

I have all of my files archived on these drives and I've been very happy with them. The software to sync to a folder on your computer also seems to work very well.

This was purchased to use in our second home. The one thing I miss, as I use ScanSnap in our other home, is the ability to have the capture software prompt me for a filename and destination folder. This adds additional steps to managing the output. Other than that, the scans are excellent quality and the speed is adequate. Also a great scanner for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the box containing my new Seagate One Touch I was surprised to see the power supply came with adapters for any power source used around the world. To me this represented the thought that was put into who and where this hardware might be used. After finding the correct adapter for my use, I was quickly able to attach the drive to my desktop via the 3.0 USB port. After I attached the drive, I downloaded and installed the Toolkit software from the Seagate website. This software provides all the function that were needed to secure, backup, restore and mirror your data. The software and the hard drive worked well together allowing me to get the most out of my new hardware. First, I set up a weekly scheduled backup of my important files so that I did not have to remember each week to manually backup this information. Next, I create a mirror folder on my PC sync to my new storage device. This was so that whenever I add, delete, or edit files in one folder, Toolkit automatically updates the other folder with my changes. I have been using my One touch for about 2 weeks with no issues. I am happy with speed of both the writing and reading of information from the drive. I would recommend this drive to anyone looking for some extra space to securely store your information.

This is a perfect external HD. The included software works great on my Windows 7 Pro computer with 4GB of RAM. It runs in the background and does not slow down the computer. One recommendation, if you have it auto-backup the entire user directory, do not have it backup the AppData folder. I would highly recommend unchecking this folder. Having it backup that folder CAN slow down your computer slightly, since files are created in that folder with nearly every program.

You download Parrot software to your phone and load your scripts there. I used a folder in Dropbox.   Takes some getting used to-- script spacing, timing, font size. But it works very well. I generally shoot up to around 8-10' before I really have to concentrate to read. If I made the font bigger, I worry that I'd have unnatural delays between words. One thing I'm not fond of is the click when you attach it to the lens. I worry that it puts too much strain on the lens, even with me supporting it.

Quality folder.

Great controller with solid performance. Love the software controller that you can download online.

Considering the expense, this is just amazing.
