What does all this mean?Ī lot of the comments in the thread were confusing, mixing up different GoFlex products and Seagate Dashboard software (does anyone really use that?) rather than the devices themselves but they finally got around to GoFlex Home and SMB or Windows File Sharing.ĪlbertoS quite correctly stated "SMB is used to access network shares via \\goflex_home. I came across seagate-goflex-not-compatible-with-windows-10 thread on Microsoft Answers which started in 2015 with the last reply in December 2017. This was news to me as it I have no trouble connecting and my backups using SMB are still working without any problems even after the latest Windows 10 Update.

The recent "Fall Creators" update to Windows 10 broke Windows File Sharing for many users.
