When using cisco cloud connect, does that allow you to remotely access computer files on devices on your home network?

Hi Michael It will not allow you to access the files of the computers connected to the router because using Cisco Connect Cloud is like you have the remote management capability of managing the router's Graphical User Interface. You can only access those files if you enabled VPN or VLAN connection. Thanks, Cisco-Linksys Support http://homesupport.cisco.com

Yes, files with cinavia protection is not a problem. Just share that folder to your network. Then connect the aios to your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and your good to go.

yes it can - this is a network device so you can install the client software of just access it via the network

Yeah. It uses SMB to access files and Web to config the device. The software that comes with the device is very much useless. I use my phone and iPad for most of the tasks.

Its a SMB share so its open to anyone that connects to your home network, connect it, power it up, wait until led stops blinking then on a windows pc click on "my computer" then on the left side click on network... it should appear as "cloudbox" ... hope this helped.

Yes, you can access the files through the network. Once connected, go to networks. Click on mediashare. It will prompt password and username. Username is admin, leave password blank.

None yet. I ended up getting a DS1513+ just b/c of that and use there CloudStation Sync. It works just like google drive, drop box, and Sky Drive. I believe this syncs faster out side of the network.

No. This device connects only to a computer directly or through a hub (USB). Connect via either of the two ports: 1 .ESATA, or 2 . USB 3.0 - which, by the way, works well for me through a USB 2.0 hub connected to my computer which has a 2.0 port.This device has no Ethernet connection. That would make it a Network Attached Storage Device. I use a Western Digital "World Book," which has only an Ethernet port, connected to my router/switch. This allows password protected "shares" for storage and/or transfer between Mac and PC.. The "shares" are accessible for read & write from anywhere with an Internet connection - password protected, of course. No. This device connects only to a computer directly or through a hub (USB).

Sure you can. You connect to the drive via Wi-Fi and the drive connect to the Internet bridging you to the Internet. Works really good.

Hi Ryan, No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

Yes. The Wi-Drive is its own wireless network hub. Many subscriber devices - smart phones, tablets, computers - can access the Wi-Drive and its files with the password that you select. Its great for by-passing Apple's system lockdown and iTunes to get media files on and off your iPad and to enjoy movies, etc., from non-iTunes sources.

I imagine you could. I don't recall seeing any specifications stating otherwise. Bear in mind, however, that the product works through a router which needs to be on in order for files to be accessible.

I'm not sure. Interesting application, so the whole network could access the drive, but I think you'd have to reach out to the manufacturer for that one.

This unit has it's own OS. It does not run Windows or Unix or Mac. Its basically like its own computer on your network. Assuming your Mac OS computer is on your home network, then you should be able to connect to this NAS unit just by pointing your file browser to \\name-of-unit ... that is assuming that this NAS unit has successfully joined your home network.

Has worked fine on my home computers for the last 10+ years. Never tried a cloud..

You only need to use the apps when accessing the drive remotely. If you're on the same network, you can mount the folder path on your computer and access it like it was just a regular folder.

You need to setup remote access in order to access the drive as a cloud device connect to the device by typing the ip address in your browser http://192.168.1.##/UI/. This should bring you to the User interface for your cloud, log in if you have already set up an account. click on manage cloud access and follow the instructions for setting up cloud access. Once you have done that you will also need to load either the windows, iPhone, or Android "WD My Cloud" There is also a photo app for your iPhone or Android. It can be set to work with either via your carrier or you may restrict photo uploads to only happen while you are connecte to wifi (save on your data plan) I hope this helps.
