Yes. However it's done by installing the Connected Desktop application on your PC/Laptop or Mobile Device. On mobile devices, it's a matter of choosing which files you want to download from your folders etc.

If your PC has the software installed, you'll access the files much like you would in dropbox, though an internet connected folder on your PC. You must have a fast upload speed where the transported is connected to be worth having. I have 5mbps up and it works alright. 10mbps would be my recommendation. If you "link" a file with the transporter you can view it on the website. I haven't messed around with that too much, but it seems to work.

Yes. You can access it across the internet by ip address, but it is much easier to set up a free DNS so you only have to remember a website instead of the ip address. Once you do that, you have to forward the correct port on your router.

Yes it can. But you will be able to locate it once it goes online. Make sure to setup security options though. Or download androiod device manager or avg free.

Yes you can access the internet over WiFi. Not hard to do just follow the directions.

Yes! It is Wi-Fi enabled and you can transfer the files via wi-fi either from your home network or from a remote place with Internet access!

We were and is able to use all our devices with our system. We monitor from wherever we are. If you have it hooked up to the internet, you too should be able to use any device.

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port. for any phone/tablet, NO.

Yes. If you are at all tech savvy, you can hook this up to your home network and then open the port on your router so that you can access this drive from the internet. I haven't done this yet myself but I do know it is possible. Search the web or some forums for ways to access your home network remotely.

Once you install the proper software on your device, the WI-Drive is it's own network. You will no longer have internet connection, just the WI-Drive. There you can access videos, music, pics, etc. So, yes, you can then open the video with an app on your device.

yes you can get on the internet if you are near a WiFi and have their password. I have a router at home and down load my books from the internet directly from my tablet with one touch ordering.

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.

Yes. Over home WiFi and also Smart Phone/Tablet access. You hardwire to the router and use the software included to configure your system. Very user friendly. I'm a novice and I was able to handle it!

You'll have to have something turned on. What device would be accessing the files other than your computer?There are devices other than a desktop or laptop that could access files via the usb port. You could move this from your computer to the other device. It is not a network drive, but some wifi routers have a usb port to make drives and printers network accessible. Failing that, WD's Mycloud line has inexpensive network drives.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EVVGAD0/ref=twister_B00GHJFREW?_encoding=UTF8&p;sc=1

This device works just fine. You can attach a external hard drive to it and access elsewhere. You can access it by signing in your device by E-mail address at their website.

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

You would only need internet connectivity if you want to access it away from home. You would need a local area network consisting of a router and the TCP gateway to operate it locally with your computer, tablet, or phone. They also make a handheld remote, I dont have one, so no idea how that works.

For example you can connect a USB hard drive and access it anywhere from your home network.
