Starting Drobo Dashboard

Drobo Dashboard is the application you use for monitoring and managing any Data Robotics, Inc. device, such as Drobo, DroboShare, Drobo S, Drobo FS, DroboPro and DroboElite. Drobo Dashboard offers useful information and convenient tools and is required in order to update Data Robotics, Inc. devices to the most current versions of firmware and software.
