Sorry folks - another Ring doorbell question!
So .. I eventually got our Ring wired doorbell up and running and it all seems to work as it should on my phone. (We don't need what you get with a subscription.) I did the "shared user" thing to my wife's phone, and even got that working in the sense that she can use live view, talk to the doorbell etc. But she doesn't…

Going in to my order history, under the listing title it says "visit the seagate store" so I'm presuming it was sold by Seagate via Amazon? C.D.I. has given me a warning about the drive so I thought I'd contact them regarding the…
