If you have problems adding other folders, try a different web browser - we had to use Chrome instead of Firefox, for example. So long as your computer is switched on and connected, you’ve got access over your local network and the wider internet.īy default your entire hard drive is accessible once the server is up and running – for security reasons we’d suggest you open Settings > Misc and tick Allowed Folders to only open access to specifically chosen folders. The desktop app is simple to use: install, set up your account through your web browser, pick additional folders to monitor for media and you’re done. It’s easy to remember, secure and gives you access not just to any file or folder on the road, but also lets you stream photos, music and video too – all for free. Once done you can access any folder or file on your computer from another location or device, either via the mobile app or by typing in a simple web address – – based on your sign-up details.
#SETUP FOR TONIDO SYNC INSTALL#
First you’ll need to install this: Tonido Desktop, the file server that transforms your entire Mac or PC's storage into your own personal cloud. An increasing number of Network Attached Storage drives offer this functionality, including the Tonido Plug, a small NAS/server that can be accessed over the internet or via Wi-Fi on the road.įor those who’d rather keep their data on a single computer rather than invest in yet another device, Tonido also offers this software solution. These problems have led to the idea of a "personal cloud" where data is kept on a local drive in your own home or workplace, then accessed over the internet only when required. And three, data has to be uploaded and then downloaded, which can play havoc with your bandwidth allowance as well as slow your connection down.
Second, you can easily find yourself paying a large sum for the privilege. First, you’re entrusting your data to a third party on the cloud. While cloud storage has revolutionised the way we back up, sync and share our data there are plenty of drawbacks to consider.
