Question: Can i access my files over the internet when i am away from home? In other words will i be given a specific link to access any device attached ?
Document: The files stay on your device, but the control of the device is on their website. I works fine on my home network, but I was unable to connect to it when away... even through another network. The solution was in the Knowledge Base at their website (FileTransporter.com) in an article 'Network troubleshooting: Port mapping with the Communication Port setting'. Basically, it's 'punching a hole' through the Firewall in my Router. Not too hard, but concepts are.
We use a NAS system for home backups, but that doesn't allow access when we are away -- Transporter does.Offsite backup  copy:We have about 20GB of financial data and a few hundred GB of family photos and some rare CDs we ripped to protect at all cost. Our music and movie collection is protected on Drobo systems -- I'd hate to lose it, but its not "must protect at all cost" material.
I wanted a device that would allow me to sync my home pc files to a harddrive and access that data anywhere (via tablet or PC). I thought the Transporter would accomplish this, but either I don't understand things or it is the wrong product for this purpose. The transporter wants you to either move all of your files to it's library or allow it to create duplicate directories on every device that would like to access the files.
If you want to have access to your files wherever you are, this is the product for you. As long as you have an internet connection you can get to them.
Followed the steps recommended by TP-Link and the router manufacturer, but it never did work. I finally gave up and connected the second Transporter via an Ethernet cable.My first review I titled "So far, awesome product" and gave it four stars. Given the nightmare it has been with the wireless adapter and introducing a second Transporter in the mix, I am reducing the rating to one star.
They took all my information and had me send a log file from the device and then told me they would get back to me. I have yet to hear back from them. What I did manage to learn from them is that synching does not always happen right away.Turns out that the file did eventually sync to the other computer after about an hour or so. So then I tried synching a folder that had several levels of subfolders with hundreds of files that added up to maybe 50MB in total.
I can't believe its taken this long for a company to figure out we want to share files on multiple computers, mobile devices, at home, on the go, and with friends.Transporter is the love child of a USB drive and the cloud. It combines the privacy and control of a hard drive  plus the convenience features for sharing and remote access that cloud storage companies provide.Today FedEx delivered my two 1TB units. Setup was a breeze.
Suggested poking a hole in the home firewall/router but didn't have any specific directions. I tried a few things (somewhat randomly) and I got it to work for one day but not the next. Very disappointing. I'm going to have to send it back. Seemed like a good idea but didn't work for me.
I set it up in my office. Was able to transfer files to the device from my office computer. Nothing appears at home. Transfers from home don't work. Probably the campus firewall at work but expected better. No customer support from Connected Data. You have to create another account on a 'third party' Drobo site....The Drobo tech support was quite responsive but they haven't been able to resolve my problem. I moved the Transporter home but that didn't help.
I finally figured out where the link went, and after digging through the ~/Library/Application Support/.... folder, we found an alternative way for him to access the data.All in all, a good product, with a few rough edges that will undoubtedly be worked out in time. It works well, I can share data with friends, and I have full control over the contents.
Answer: Yes. However it's done by installing the Connected Desktop application on your PC/Laptop or Mobile Device. On mobile devices, it's a matter of choosing which files you want to download from your folders etc.
