Got this on sale for less than a hundred bucks - for a connect android device with 1TB hard drive - great deal! Hard to control with phone, and no remote included, but you can hook up a mouse or any usb controller (even PS3 controller) to get the thing to work.
If you have a galaxy phone, this is basically a big galaxy phone viewed on your TV and controlled with your phone as a remote.

This is a great little device to run as a HTPC. The 1 TB of space is a big plus in this set--up, and it is simple to set up. The only negative part is that the device has no dedicated remote!

I was thinking about buying the Samsung All-Share Cast ($80), so I went to Best Buy. They didn't have it, but they did have this item. It looked great, but the Samsung guys didn't really seem to know a lot about it. They couldn't make a number of the features work correctly, but assured me that was because they were unable to access the internet because of Best Buy's in-store restrictions and that the device would work beautifully once outside the store. I even brought my Galaxy Note 10.1 with me to see if it was compatible. The Samsung reps sync'd my tablet with the smart TV (not the HomeSync) and said, "See, it works!!" Once I got it home, guess what didn't work? Yeah, the tablet. Even though my tablet is less than a year old, the HomeSync would only work with the newest Samsung tablets - no backward compatibility for devices over 6 months old. Real value there. I was eventually able to get my phone to work with the device (Galaxy Mega), but then only intermittently and the apps were awful. The device is three times the price of an Apple iTV, but it can't even run Netflix or other common apps. It offers a 1TB HDD onboard, supposedly so you can store all of your info from all your devices on the HomeSync, like having your own personal home cloud. This sounds great, but the HomeSync only allows very limited access to the HDD and since it's not compatible with 90% of the rest of Samsung's own products, it's worthless. I was extremely disappointed with this piece of equipment and returned it as soon as possible the next day. Maybe Samsung will wise up and patch the crummy software this thing is running and expand its "accepted" list of compatible devices for those of us who don't update our tech every other month. Until then, I'd definitely recommend you spend your $300 on something else. This is definitely not worth the time or the headache.

I bought it to back up Pic and video from phone and it works great.
I lost Pic from phone died and it wipe SD card, now that will not happen.
The device was easy to setup, can view content from the road, backup happens automatically.
It also turn you TV in to a smart TV, it has android play store, so it has all apps needed.
Your phone becomes the homesync remote. Works very well. It was worth buying.

I like this box from the way it looks and the design. Work great, the only thing I don't know why some Android apps that work on Android phones but can't install on this box, error "The device is incompatible .....". I was able to download XBMC via browser (not via Google Play) and install, XBMC works well on this device.

I could not get the basic applications to install like with my smartTV, like Pandora and Netflix. No ETA no answers or why. I found Allshare hard to upload my music library or poor idea to work as a central server for my personal family movies and music library.
Lacks in friendlyness like a 123 and go kind of player. Not enough value to replace my existing smartTV. Looks like a good idea as a hardware but the software and applications are trailing behind.

A:AnswerThere is a Samsung Link PC application (compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7/8 [RT not supported]) which allows a user to access their HomeSync content from their PC. Non-Samsung mobile devices and Macintosh computers are not supported at this time.
Does it have similar functions as other network storage devices?
• DLNA streaming = Yes
• UPnP access = No
• Samba File sharing = Yes, if you install a 3rd party application from the Google or Samsung App Stores.
• AFP = No
• NFS = No
• FTP = Yes, if you install a 3rd party application from the Google or Samsung App Stores
--Mr.Samsung
A:AnswerHomeSync products sold in the United States will only work on the U.S. standard of 110V.
Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.
--Mr.Samsung
A:AnswerSanjeev,
If you're having trouble with the settings on your HomeSync device, please reach out to the Best Buy Geek Squad Agents or Samsung's customer service center for more information.
Without more information, it's difficult to imagine where you might be running into trouble, and a live support option would be more helpful than this format.
Thanks for your support of Samsung products.
--Mr. Samsung
A:AnswerIt would depend on the file types in your library.
Some movie files - especially rare ones - may need to be re-encoded. But many formats will be supported on this model. This is designed to be a central place for storing files in your network.
--Mr.Samsung
A:AnswerPlease reach out to the Samsung customer service center for further information.
A live service representative would be able to assist and help you test your settings quicker than we'd be able to assist here.
You can also reach out to a Best Buy Geek Squad Agent or our customer service center for further assistance.
--Mr.Samsung
A:AnswerThe Home Sync is an Android device, so some compatibility may still need to be developed for laptops. The Series 9 runs Windows, so initially, it is not compatible.
--Mr.Samsung
A:AnswerYes, for the most part. HomeSync turns any TV into an AllShare Play (DLNA) compatible TV. If your tablet/smartphone are on the same wireless network as HomeSync, the AllShare Play icon should appear in the corner of the movie playback app; when you tap it, playback will be transferred to the TV. Some contents’ DRM may prevent AllShare Play from playing the movie back.
Mr. Samsung
