FYI On 6th Oct 2015 the service provider of Tappin will be updating their certificates to increase the security of their servers. When this occurs Seagate Central devices will need a firmware update to continue to utilize the remote access functionality.

Fyi 8th April 2018 is the end of life for Tappin and the service will be decommissioned.

anyone with a Seagate NAS drive will still be able to use their network locally but cann't reach those files over the internet after the end date... end of an era!
