Hi Mark, My pogoplug mounts its drive like an ordinary local drive. I use it for 3 reasons primarily: 1. File storage in a shared location. I can now access these files from any machine any where in the world. 2 File sharing. Need to send a very big file to someone or a photo album? You can just share it directly from the pogoplug in terms of a web link. It's also easy to manage what things you've shared. 3. DNLA. The pogoplug device supports dnla, so it appears as a media server on the network and so your media box, like my playstation3 picks up its presence and let's me stream movies, pictures and music from it. - Hans On 2013-03-08, at 2:06 AM, Mark Breen <marklbreen at gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Hans, > > On the basis that 1) you have to drag and drop and 2) you cannot drag > folders, what do you use Pogoplug for ? > > > > > On 8 March 2013 00:48, Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>wrote: > >> Looks like owncloud has progressed a bit since last i checked.
