I had the WD external cloud drive and it seemed a bit more complicated to set up and get quick access from my other computers.  This one lets you set up quickly and is great for sharing documents and pictures on all pc's at home.  Once a year I back it up on a jump drive and keep the back up at a separate location from my home just in case we ever get robbed or the house goes down in flames  :(

This thing is FAST!! And with the 32GB I was able to use it to quickly and easily transfer hundreds of photos from my desktop to my laptop in merely minutes plus I had plenty of space left over! I didn't have to anything at all once I got it, just plug it in and go! This is perfect for any application you want to use it for, transferring files, songs, videos, or pictures.  I have used it to do quick backups of really important files & records too!

As I switch around between three computers when I work, this is a handy backup for all my important files I'll need to have access to on all computers while working on my book (photos especially). It can also go everywhere I go on the road and I can give it to my editor as she works on the book. Bought it as a special deal, so it's also a fantastic value.

Transferring large files such as multimedia presentations back and forth between a laptop and a desktop is a common chore for me, and one that has never been easy.  The methods I have used include: 1)a laplink-type setup which involves plugging in cables behind inacessible computers and finding someplace to balance the laptop during the transfer  2) Burning a CD which is slow and requires CD-RW on both systems  3) A USB zip - 100 drive that can be plugged into either machine, but is too fragile and bulky to carry around.
The Clik! (PocketZip) is both handy and easy to setup.  I leave the PC-card it in the laptop where it functions as a backup drive for documents, and can easily be removed to transfer files via the dock between systems.  Although I have large multi-media files, it is rare that they exceed the 40 MB disk capacity.  I think it is an excellent solution, although I cannot yet vouch for the durability of the media.

I received this NAS for free as part of the Netgear Friends and Family program. I am not a highly technical person, but the set up was extremely easy. In under 10 minutes. I was able to map the drives to my network and start a back up of all of my computers in a central location. I am very impressed with the speed and simplicity of the set up and usage of this device. I am looking forward to using this to be able to access all of my files from other locations through the remote access. I would definitely recommend it to my family or friends.

I got this to store all our files in one central place.  I shared the drive and we can access it from any computer.  It might not be fast enough for streaming media files, haven't tried.  But it is fine for photo and shared document storage.

This device was easy to install, saves me time as I set it and forget it.  The backups are fast and ever so painless.  You must be somewhat careful about moving the drive when it is working.  I recommend find a stable place for it, then leave it there when using it.

You can move a whole computer full of information to another computer with ease.

In the short time I've had this little gem, I've used it to back up files
and photos and move them to a new computer; drag and drop and reverse the procedure.
I use XP, OSX and Linux and by using a Fat 32 format I've been able to move files from
machine to machine seamlessly; and a lot faster than burning cd's.
 A couple of days ago I installed a bootable version of Damn Small Linux on it
so I can carry my email and browser preferences around with me, along with files
and photos. I wish I'd bought several. Very handy!

Recently traveled on a business trip and the Western Digital My Passport gave me the capability of creating a duplicate drive with all of my files/folders on it.  Made it much easier to access my work than logging into the home server via the internet.

I wanted to share one printer with three computers. I was initially looking for an automatic print sharing device, but I found that the inexpensive ones are for just two computers.  When you look for a device for three or more computers, then the price goes up.  I didn't want to spend much money on it.  I found this Belkin 4-port USB switch to be a simple, but very effective solution.
The device has a soft-touch switch on the front, and two light indicators at each side of the switch for a total of four.  Those lights when illuminated show the port number active, i.e., the first one shows "1", the second shows "2", etc., so a quick look at it tells which port is active.  Every time you press the switch it changes to the next port in a continuous loop: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1 -> 2, etc.
The device uses the power provided by the USB ports from the computers, so no external power adapter is needed. Installation is extremely simple and easy. It took me about two minutes to run the USB cables from three computers to the switch, and then from the switch to the printer.  You turn on any one (or more of the computers), then the printer (or viceversa) and you're ready to print.  What could be easier than that?
This device works great for me, because even there are three (and sometimes four) computers, it is only one user (me) and ocassionally a second user (my daughter).  Now, if you have only one printer for several people, and you are trying to share that printer between three, or more people, then I would recommend to spend a bit more money and get an automatic sharing device to avoid manually switching.
In regards to software, since it works from the USB ports, no drivers or anything else is necessary to install. Just connect it and it will work. It is also "OS blind", meaning you can connect a mix of Linux, Mac, and/or Windows computers, and it works.  Simple as that.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Belkin-F1U200V-4-Port-USB-Switch/dp/B000EJUCVE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Belkin F1U200V 4-Port USB Switch</a>

Saves files very quickly and works on all the PC's and cell phone I've used it for

At my job I don't have a designated work space and I work on about 8 different computers, every time I wanted to save a file that I would need to access frequently I would have to save it, email it to myself,and then save it in my email so I could access it from anywhere.  Now all I have to do is plug this in to the usb and save my files to it.  It's fool proof, fast, and small enough to put in my purse.  It's also convenient in the fact that I have a PC and a laptop at home.  I do most of my work on the labtop, but don't have it connected to a printer. I can save my work on the Kingston, plug it into the pc and print away.  The price is great too! I highly suggest purchasing this if you work on more than one computer.

This is a pretty awesome device which can be used for multiple functions. We put a USB thumb drive in it and have it running as a small self contained FTP server.

Using in our business to share commonly used files including CAD, G-Code CNC machine files and spreadsheets.  It is easy to set up. Have two of these units now. One backs up automatically daily to the other one, which is offsite. Provides peace of mind that our data will is safe.  The response time is pretty good but we only have 1/10th of the capacity used. Not sure how it will respond when we get more data transferred to it.

I purchased this little gem to share all of my photos with my friends. The install was super easy for a non technical person like me, and I had an old USB drive that I was able to just plug in and go (note, take off any data on an old drive as it will reformat). It has been so easy to just send the photo folders to my friends, have them download the software and now we can all share and load the photos on the folders we share after our events and get togethers. I am not a FB junkie so this really works well and my friends are loving it too.

I purchased this mainly for 1TB storage. And added bonus of Office apps is definitely nice. Works flawlessly on my iPhone and my PC. I uploaded all of my photos (100+GB), videos (200+ GB) and all of it is synced with my phone. It's also great to come home and having all of my photos I took with my phone already be on the computer!
Dropbox is OK, but for same price you only get storage and nothing else.
Google can't decide what they want to do with Google + and my main issue you can't see your pictures in a folder and easily copy them to your PC.
With OneDrive you get a simple folder view on the PC and if you go through their website, you actually get a really good looking album view.
After a recent update to OneDrive, you also get a really nice ability to create web albums and share them with people with just a few clicks.

My wife's laptop harddrive went bad, but she had tons of pictures and documents that she needed off the drive.  I bought this replicator in the hope to salvage something and was not sure how difficult it would be to setup and retreive data.  This was definitely a plug and play solution.  Within 5 min of receiving this product it was setup, drive loaded, and I was copying data to a new drive.  It supports both the 2.5 and 3.5" drives.  This is now part of my DR strategy for home computers and a must have for anyone who needs to transfer, share, or backup and old harddrive.
