How It Works

2. media automation sends downloads to Seedr: When your automation tools finds content, it sends the link to Seedr automatically
3. Seedr downloads to cloud: Files download to your Seedr storage using our fast servers
4. Access via WebDAV/FTP: Your automation tools or media server accesses completed files via WebDAV or FTP mount
