Cloud services definitely have their benefits — and you’re probably already using the cloud for storage (Facebook for photos or Google Drive for documents). But there are several reasons you’ll also want a personal cloud:
Centralize Everything – You have a lot of stuff – music, photos, resumes, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. We get it. You’ve been creating a digital cache of content you haven’t sifted through in who knows how long. You need one place to bring it all together. If you happen to be the organized type, you know how important it is to have your content together so you can have it always at the ready.
Accessibility – Speaking of being “at the ready,” a personal cloud is perfect for this — you’ll have what you need when you need it. Picture this – you’re coming back from a trip and your flight is delayed. But you don’t fret or fuss because you know you can stream your movies or music to your mobile device or laptop from your personal cloud. Bliss ensues.
Better yet, imagine you’re at home and want to relive that honeymoon in Maui. Stream your photos to your big screen TV, throw on some ukulele tunes for ambience and let the party begin.
Personalization – The best part of a personal cloud is making it personal. Whether you share your purchased movies and music with family and friends or use it as your own library of photographs, a personal cloud is your device to use it as you see fit. You can also schedule backing up your computer when it’s convenient for YOU!
Cloud services are a great resource, especially when you’re sharing stuff publicly, and can even help you backup some of your content in a pinch without costing too much. But for peace of mind and total control, a personal cloud is the ideal solution to centralize, personalize, secure, and sync your content so it’ll be available to you whenever you need it.
