On My Disk Connector unboxing (video)

 

What is on my disk?

The modern problem of our society is the data and safety of the data. What it means? The best solution to backup-store data is obviously the cloud. It means that you can access your data from all around the world, no matter the device you will use (your laptop or any other pc, your mobile phone etc). It is also the best solution just in case your local hard drive dies and you will cry a river for your lost data (or the money you have to spend to recover your hard disk). 

But here comes another question. Where is the data stored? Who has also access to them? You can choose a trusted provider or you can choose to onmydisk solution.

This is onmydisk connector, an instant sharing solution that turns your local or external drive into a personal cloud. It is recommended to use this for sharing big files and multimedia. It is an arm board that can be connected on your router and to a Nextcloud instance (we will see on a next article-video how to connect it). Then plug your disk at home and you can have access on your disk from all around the world.
