Yes, that is exactly how the plugs work, for both the Tonido and the Pogo.

So, would the TonidoPlug be plugged into ones router, and then any externalhard drives plugged into the Tonido plug?

They would have a web interface and they give you the local url to go to in
your usual browser and it is basic  web page controls after that.  We had
NAS and remote printer devices that did this too. Routers work this way
normally, also.  I think I'd be happier with that than leaving a pc on. I
need to google for the price of that I guess.

Thanks, RobH.

The Tonido Plug is a network device that probably runs this software, and
lets you hook USB drives to it instead. Im not sure how accessible setting
up those devices would be though.

 How does it see the external drives?  I'm googling it and finding
something about a "plug" but I'm wondering how because when I plug my
external drive in, I can't see it from my Iphone, though I have it set to be
shared with one user...

   I did not want full access to everything. I only wanted access to one of
my external drives, so yes, I had to go in and change that. Otherwise, I
would have had access to my whole entire computer.

   Did you have to personally share everything on your computer or change
any settings?
   The only reason I ask is because I didn't have to change anything or set
anything up to share in order to access my files.

     Anywhere, as you access your files and folders via a URL. You can be
at a friend's house 1000 miles away and as long as your computer is left on
at home, you can access whatever you have set to share.

     Hi Kayla, nice to see you again!  It's been a while.  Does this
program work when you're on Wi-Fi at home, or can you do it from anywhere?

     Just passing this one on for anyone who might be interested.

     Just thought I would write and tell you about a cool new free program
that allows you to access your files on your computer, open them, stream
them, download them, all from your iPhone.

     It's called Tonido. The program has to be download on the computer at:

     www.tonido.com

     The app is in the app store and it's free! You'll need the desktop
version for windows on the website.

     Once you download, be sure to set up on the comp first, as you must
create a username and password.

     This program is cool. No more wasting time uploading to dropbox,
transfering files hither and thither, or using itunes to do anything!

     The url that it gives you under the text, "access your comp from
anywhere" when you are on the Tonido website after you have created your
account is the url that you will need to put into the phone as well as the
username and password. It will look like your username/tonidoid.com. When
you first enter tonido from the phone you will need to do this, and tap done
when you're done. There's a "saved" button that has some people confused,
you don't press that one... Username, password, and url are all you will
need to enter. Please know that you must have tonido running on your comp to
be able to access it from the iPhone or it will say empty when you click on
a folder.

     It shows the c e, and g drives as well. I have yet to test and see if
it sees externals.

     It will stream all different file types either at their native
bitrate, or there are choices if you're picky in the settings tab. You can
even open word docs, pdfs, txts, etc.

     Hope this is helpful to someone.

     Regards,

     Kayla King
