Question: Can I transfer files among PCs at home without going through the pogoplug server? just use the home wireless network.
Document: One thing for certain is that this device was very simple to setup and took less than 2 minutes. It enables you to share your files to any wireless device in the home without the need for cables or messy setup. It's a very cool concept and comes with the ability to upload 5GB worth of files into your own personal wireless storage space, complimentary, with options to purchase additional storage.
I got this as I had plenty of external drives and thought it was a good way to use them up by creating a personal cloud I could access when on business travel.However about a week after I installed it my family kept complaining that the home network kept going offline. My wife being her usual paranoid self kept rebooting the cable modem and router and the problem just kept getting worse and worse.
I extensively use it for work when collaborating on projects with people outside my company (so I basically use it as a shared drive among people not on the same network), as well as for personal files that I want to access when I'm not with my computer.
After reading several online postings about similar issues with this device, I'm not going to pursue this issue with Pogo's technical support. I really wanted this to work because I wanted to lock down, encrypt, and use the NAS for non-media files. Unfortunately, I'll just have to continue using my PC as the primary data file server via shares, and continue using the NAS for media sharing. I'll also continue searching for a viable option because, unfortunately, this wasn't the answer for my streaming needs.
Found a good deal, and decided to add another to my network, I mostly use it as a place to host my backups... The media server and the built in backup features leave a lot to desire, so I don't use it... This is a really cheap way to put storage on a home network, and it's reasonably fast to boot...
Most online storage and file sharing services, like Dropbox or Box, have some limits on file sizes. Most of those services do not work on Linux computers. Dropbox works with Linux okay, but seemed too expensive for what I needed. I thought about setting up an old computer with a Linux file server but decided first to try PogoPlug to store files and share links to those files without upload/download restrictions or file size restrictions.
It's also handy for home use since you can watch my movies, and browse pictures on any device without having to copy the files on each device. The files can be shared also to anyone and has a similar feel of a Cloud service. I'm pretty satisfied so far and I highly recommend it.
I bought this Pogoplug after learning that you can have your own personal cloud. This basically allows you to access the files in your harddrives from any wireless hotspot. I use it primarily to share files with friends or to stream my video collections via iphone/ipod/ipad pogoplug app. The streaming is quite fast and has not hit any stutters even on a basic dsl connection.
The only problem I have is getting files larger than 4GB onto it through the UI. I also don't much like the way you have to mount their device in Linux to transfer files on more directly (requires the use of a file you get from them named something like "pogoplug-fs") as it seems slow and reacts poorly, in my experience, to large numbers of queued files.
What a find! This easy-to-use device connected to a portable hard drive lets me access my files remotely with no problems whatsoever--the only requirement is that wifi is available. It basically works like a mini home server with no connect issues that have plagued NAS devices. Highly recommended.
Answer: I don't think so.  Pogoplug acts like a server and another hard disk.  I actually have 3 external hard disks attached to my Pogoplug 4.   AND once Pogoplugs servers went down, and I could NOT access my 3 hard disks even on my own home network.  I spoke to tech support and they said their servers were down for about an hour and I could NOT access my own network.  That was very frustrating.   BUT the device does keep all my files backed up perfectly.   I would recommend it
