HELP!
I have a FreeAgent GoFlex Home Drive that is connected to my router via ethernet. It is available to share files to anyone on our network. My Mac can see it no problem (so it's not a device problem). It was fine from my Windows 10 PC until the update that went in the last few weeks. It is a Windows 10 issue.

I have contacted Seagate and this is what they said:

Thank you for contacting Seagate Support. I understand Windows 10 is not seeing your GoFlex Home NAS on your network. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this is causing for you. I'd be glad to assist you.
As far as the Seagate Dashboard/Memeo Instant Backup software is concerned, the software is really not going to be of any benefit to you. The Seagate Dashboard/Memeo Instant Backup software is not compatible with Windows 10 anyway. The Seagate Dashboard/Memeo Instant Backup software was only supported in Windows XP through Windows 8, and there are no plans to update the software to include Windows 10 compatibility. software was only supported in Windows XP through Windows 7, and there are no plans to update the software to include Windows 10 compatibility.
The Paragon Driver software you downloaded only works with GoFlex USB connected external hard drives, not network drives.
I believe the reason Windows 10 is not seeing the GoFlex Home is probably because of an update that Microsoft pushed out recently that changed the way Windows 10 detects network devices. The GoFlex Home is dependent on a Microsoft protocol called SMBv1. Microsoft created this protocol and it was used for providing shared access to files, folders, printers, serial ports, and basically anything you wanted to share. This used to be the standard protocol on all previous versions of the Windows operating system. With the recent updates that Microsoft sent out for Windows 10, however, Windows 10 now has SMBv1 disabled by default in the Windows operating system. From my understanding, Microsoft did this to address some security flaws in the SMBv1 protocol. The only thing we can point you toward is this 3rd party knowledge base support article on how to enable SMBv1.
