All I know is what I read from the user manual
http://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/support-content/external-products/seagate-central/en-us/seagate-central-user-guide-us.pdf

To sum it up, as far as I see, it has public folder (size could be set, I think) that anyone on network can see and use.
It can also have private folders that need email/password to use (set up on the seagate central setup web page with browser)

In short, no.. for storing private "no one else should see this" things, it is far from ideal.
It is also not ideal if anyone besides you uses the wifi/router and thus has access to the network. (like in your case)
