Remove Seagate Dashboard?

[Chris Beldam]

Hey,
I know this question might be asked a lot but is it possible to use my seagate external without the dashboard software? I dont mind using it but i dont like it at the same time either?
Any help would be appreciated

Yes, you don't have to use Seagate's software. You can use the built-in Windows Backup if you wish, or even setup a Dropbox shared folder on that drive. Just access the drive directly from Windows, and do whatever you want with it (like copy your own files to it).

So I could essentially drag and drop? And then remove all the Seagate software?

Sure, as long as you can see the Seagate external drive as a standalone drive letter (like F: or something similar) and you haven't enabled any type of encryption, then you can drag&drop as many files as you wish.
