It can work across multiple devices, including tablets and smartphones.

Mylio Create is a file management app that brings photos together into a single, searchable library and includes basic editing and sharing facilities. The main differences between the new drives and their predecessors is the bundled software, which includes a subscription to Mylio Create and two months’ membership of the Adobe CC Photography Plan (which includes Photoshop and Lightroom). Both drives use Seagate’s high density drive platters, which appear not to have changed since the previous models. The new Backup Plus Slim and Backup Plus Ultra Touch drives come in 1TB and 2TB capacities, while the Backup Plus Portable drives are offered in 4TB and 5TB configurations. Seagate’s Backup Plus Slim drives are available in seven colours. The first two have one and two terabyte capacities, while Backup Plus Portable drives come in 4TB and 5TB capacities. Unlike the previous generation drives, the new models come with exFAT formatting, which enables them to be used as supplied with both Mac and PCs. There are three models in the Backup Plus range: Backup Plus Slim, Backup Plus Ultra Touch and Backup Plus Portable.

Seagate’s line of Backup Plus external hard disk drives was updated at CES 2019 in January this year with new capacities added and new finishes and colours. Weighing less than 250 grams and slightly smaller than a smartphone, the three Backup Plus drives are ideal for travellers as they will take up minimal space in a handbag and add little to the weight you carry.
