A personal cloud is your content, at home, secure and under your control. Unlike public
clouds, a personal cloud allows you to keep all of your content in one safe place on your
home network. Share files, stream media, and access your content anywhere, from the web
and from mobile devices. No monthly fees. No mysterious location for your data. Keep your
videos, music, photos, and files safe at home and always with you.
