Turn Your Computer Into A Cloud Storage Device

Posted In Tech News - By joshua.combs On Wednesday, April 20th, 2011 With 1 Comment

You can now do this with the PogoPlug software, you once had to get a device from PogoPlug that you would plug an external hard drive into and PogoPlug would make that accessible to the internet making it your own personal cloud. Now they have a new software that you launch on your desktop computer or laptop to make your whole computer a cloud storage device. You no longer need to have a device from PogoPlug to do this.

I used the pogoplug personal storage device when it first came out, and had problems with it, it corrupted 2 of my hard drives so I swore off of the device and never used it again. I am going to start using this software because it is something that I would like to have, and use in the future.

Here are the features and specs from PogoPlug
