Great way to back up and access,but....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works pretty good but hard to access network iinside network. The interface on all the apps just don't come close to ease of use like one drive and Dropbox. It doesn't backup camera photos consistently from my iPhone either. I'm just happy to use it as an automatic PC backup on my network, this seems to work well.

Easy to use!

Worked for 2 weeks!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product worked perfect for 2 weeks. I was able to connect from my work computer and play music and the whole nine yards. It seems the product did an automatic firmware update and all of a sudden I wasn't able to connect to my cloud from work, which defeats the purpose of having it. I returned it and got my money back.

Not exceptional
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Based on reviews of the product and recommendations from the IT staff of a local universitu, I purchased this item to replace a failed Seagate unit. I have found it much more difficult to set up and use, but I had been using Seagate for years. Here's hoping this one lasts longer than the Seagate did.

Relatively Easy to Set Up, Hard to Use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is relatively easy to set it up as one just needs to hook it to a router and download the required software. I am using a mac and connected it to my Airport Extreme. After that everything is a nightmare...it may take hours to copy megabytes of data and the performance is inconsistent (it did happen that it managed to copy over several gigabytes of data in less than an hour). It is also whimsical that it may all of a sudden decide to excuse itself from connection and restart. Also, as it runs under its own linux system, reformatting it to your needs would be almost impossible (at least I haven't found a way yet). In summary, besides it's fancy concept I really regret having bought it.
