Starting Drobo Dashboard
Drobo Dashboard is an optional tool for monitoring and managing any Data Robotics device, such as Drobo or
DroboShare. Drobo Dashboard offers useful information and convenient tools and is required in order to update Data
Robotics devices to the most recent released versions of firmware and software.
Drobo Dashboard provides an easy to read Menu Bar icon that shows you the status of your Drobo. So if you keep your
