Seagate’s Toolkit software offers both traditional file backup and folder syncing. Note that the drive comes preformatted with NTFS-you’ll want to change that to exFAT if you’re a Mac user. It will do the job if Windows File Backup or macOS Time Machine aren’t of interest to you.

Toolkit is attractive and competent, supports pure backup and folder syncing, and works on both PC and macOS. It wouldn’t be a Backup Plus if it didn’t include Seagate’s own Toolkit utility/backup software. Seagate’s Backup Plus Hub has a power jack and female USB Micro-B connector gracing its backside. On the back of the enclosure are the AC adapter jack and a Micro-B USB port. When I first opened the box, I was half-expecting charge-only functionality, but you can plug in anything you want to the USB port, including additional storage devices.
