In essence I reckon, all be it a wifi gadget of course. But it is still your LAN, so would interface the same. Don't know how much power it could supply to the usb port to drive external HDs though; but if those are independently powered, it seems reasonable. Bet there's only one usb port though. One good size pen drive, even 64Gb, are quite cheap now. You could map it as a network drive for purposes of loading etc, from the pc.

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.

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... ----- Original Message ----- From: MamaPeach To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 6:18 AM Subject: Re: A cool little program which I just learned about 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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: MamaPeach To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 5:44 AM Subject: Re: A cool little program which I just learned about Anywhere, as you access your files and folders via a URL.

Does this program work when you're on Wi-Fi at home, or can you do it from anywhere?

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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
