Windows 8 support for seagateshare.com

Provides information surrounding seagateshare.com's compatibility with the two modes of Internet browser in Windows 8.

Windows 8 supports seagateshare.com with the Seagate GoFlex Home using Internet browsers in Desktop Mode only.

Desktop view - Supports seagateshare.com Start view - Does not support seagateshare.com

Be sure to use Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome in Desktop Mode.

Internet browser apps in Windows 8 Start Mode do not support Flash, so seagateshare.com will not function properly.

Launching seagateshare.com from the Start Mode will result in an error message that reads: "It appears that you don't have the Adobe Flash 10 Player installed."

To resolve this, use seagateshare.com from the Desktop Mode of the Internet browser. To do so:

  1. Press the Windows key () + D.
    This will take you to the desktop.
  2. The browser's quick start icon should be visible there on the desktop. Double-click to launch the browser.
    The Desktop Mode will launch and the web address/URL bar will be on the top.
  3. Go to www.seagateshare.com and proceed as normal.
