A personal cloud is your content, at home, secure and under your control. Unlike public
clouds, a personal cloud allows you to keep all of your content in one safe place on your
home network. Share files, stream media, and access your content anywhere, from your PC
or Mac computer and from mobile devices. No monthly fees. No mysterious location for
your data. Keep your videos, music, photos, and files safe at home and always with you.
