Mike Agerbo: Really is amazing how connected we are now and how important it is to be
connected to our files as well. Everything is digital whether it’s our music, our documents even
our videos, today we’re going to look at solution from Pogoplug and when I first saw this thing I
didn’t really get it, I honestly taught that this was a little hard drive, another hard drive that you
connect to your computer and the best way to think about is a mini cloud, it’s a device that
enables all of your files whether the music files or work documents or anything to be accessible
to anywhere. Will it’s kind of interesting essentially how it work this is got a Ethernet connection
in the back you plug that directly into your internet router so that it can actually not only share
things to the internet but on your home or office network as well. And then its got USB ports on
the back so you can see you we got flash drive plug in here, we also plug in another external hard
drive. You can plug in things like printer as well. And once that’s done and you got it set up now
you can access all of those files not only on your home or office network to all the different
computers and devices but also if you’re on the road and you have an internet connection.
AJ Vickery: And I will show you how the interface works here, it’s essentially nothing but a
web browser window so you go mypogoplug.com you enter your email and your password to
secure password and it takes you into this folders. Every folder that you see here is a folder that
excess on either that flash drive that we have plug into it or even this like hard drive that we’ve
got plug into it as well. The idea is this that through web browser I’m accessing this files, the
power of this sure you can do it while you are at home but you can also do it like we said from
anywhere where you have internet access.
Mike Agerbo: You can setup public viewing so that your friends and family connection go into
specific folder to check out things like your photos or your videos.
AJ Vickery: It’s just simple, it’s just typing in the email address the person you want to share
too and send it with there own password they’ll use to log in, a secure solution. But you can take
that one step further as well we like to share this content that we have on this drives to some of
our public profiles like our Twitter account, our Facebook account.
Mike Agerbo: And finally if you want to make a backup copies maybe you’ve got a few hard
drives going and you want to make sure that you have the file sync between he different hard
drive you have plug into this, you can also use the active copy feature on here so it does it
automatically for you.
AJ Vickery: Absolutely, now the power of this thing is being outside of the office and having
access in style, so when you see I go show them what’s that was like you just going to have hope
that I keep this plug in while you are in the bug. Alright here we go.
Mike Agerbo: So we’ve come to a part near our office but it doesn’t matter if I’m near the office
or across the country. The idea is through my internet enable device in this case I’m using a Sony
Ericsson Xperia phone I can use the internet application to log into the Pogoplug and have access
to all that content as you can see here the main interface, I can look at movies, I can actually
watch movies if the phone supports the movie file right on my devices and I can also go onto my
music, my photos and here is the hard drive that we connected via USB into our Poloplug so I’m
going to go straight into that and as you can see all of the folders that were on that device and I
can access system right here in this park.
AJ Vickery: If I go want to one of our directories I get all of my business document that I want
to have on my hand or even word documents and anything that I make changes too I can actually
save right from here or even upload new files all of that is going to go on to the Pogoplug, again
my own little mini cloud safe and secure back at our office. That’s the power of using a device
like that so if you want to get out there on the road and have access to all of your content
Pogoplug something you might want to take a look at.
