if you mean download something to amazon cloud file and then attach it for others, I would say no. It seems that it is only good for name on account. Hope that helps you.

Thank you for the info. Sounds like though you cannot share a license between comptuers. In the past when I've gotten an ISO copy through school enrollment or employment I've been able to share it among my home comptuers (I believe the limit was 3, but I was really only using it for 2). Also those copies always had an option to do a "custom install" (reformatting the hard drive and starting from scratch) or an upgrade install (keeping files and settings except when going from XP to 7). Seems like the upgrade copy would still be able to do this, but so too woudln't the system builder copy? Or did I miss that in the article. Thank you again. Thank you for the info.

How sharing is handled will depend on which operating system you install on the system -- the system does not come with an OS already installed.

Yes you can in the drobo Dash board let's you set up users and shares via Samba or the mac equivalent.

Its a little file server. You would be able to share files with all the devices connected to the router. Máximum 32GB SD Cards allowed.

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.

As it is.. NO. It was only meant to share you data online. Like Han Xu said, you need to install a different operating system like Arch Linux or Debian which might be not what your looking for. If you feel installing debian or Arch is something you can do then I highly recommend using Raspberry Pi or search for something similar. I hope this helps you.

You can. Not a feature I have tied yet. USB drive seems to be the best answer and of course you would need to set it up in your setup menu.

No limitation if you have Internet or another PC with an optical drive. In that last case you can use programs as Daemon Tools and a pendrive and you won't miss an optical drive

I think it will work as long as you use an Admin account on both machines, and copy all of the files you want to move into one folder and move that. Pretty sure you can view the source files from the target machine.

You can share files easily with anyone inside or outside your home. Mine is sharing photos, documents and backups. It can be accessed around the world on Windows computers, android phones/tablets and iPads/iPhones. Once setup, it is all synchronizes automatically no matter where a person is located. I travel a lot and bought this specifically to make sure I could get my files from anywhere. Works great, I am very happy with the product and manufacturer support.

No, it is not possible for 4 people working at the same time. You would definitely need a multi-user version, and even then I'm not sure if 4 people would be able to use the company file at the same time.

No. Each is completely independent from the other when switched. Only sharing would be through the available USB ports for an external drive that can be accessed by either attached computer at any given time. Hope that answers your inquiry.

As Mark may have been explaining, if your router for instance has a usb port, you can connect to that and share amongst your network. Its not a nas or air model.

Yes. You can use Synology Data Replicator or you can use the standard backup program that comes with windows. See synology link for instructions. https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/tutorials/454

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

Yes if you set up an account for them and give them the proper permissions. They can have full access or individual folder access depending on how you want to set it up.
