Hello Hans,

thats fantastic, I looked but completely missed the client software, which
is of course what I need.

May I ask you advice about storage.  I have one drive with almost a
terabyte of data.  My upload speed is slow, but excluding upload speed, do
you think I could upload a terabyte ?  Do you have any idea what your total
storage use is ?  I know that pogoplug say it is unlimited, but I wonder
about pointing to my folder named "FileServer"

thanks

Mark
