Personal Cloud Solutions


Access the digital files located in your home from anywhere in the world from any device. That’s what personal cloud products allow you to do. Unlike a traditional USB thumb drive, a network drive is actually connected to your router, creating a personal cloud over the Internet. This enables you to store and access content from multiple computers in the home on one drive. And since every picture and movie can be stored in one place, sharing memories with others outside the home is, in fact, as easy as connecting to the Internet.

Personal Cloud Trends

Consumers have been using cloud services and accessing storage in the cloud for years without realizing it. Email, social networking and online banking services are the most popular services. Smartphones and tablets take this dependence on cloud services to a new level. Seagate products allow for anywhere, anytime access to data and files across these devices. Trends in personal & home clouds:
  • Wide-scale adoption of cloud services in the home began with the use of email
  • Consumer storage products offering users the ability to access personal files from home—from anywhere, on any device
  • Reliance on mobile devices with low storage capacity and app-based solutions to access content

Anywhere Access to Content in the Home

Directly connecting to content at home while traveling used be impossible or require a high pain threshold. The latest generation of storage products drastically simplifies and extends the need to connect to content. As broadband connectivity and cellular data rates get faster and more prevalent, the only limiting factor to connecting to content while on the road is network service.
  • Installation of connected storage devices in the home has been simplified
  • Upload and download speeds have dramatically increased
  • Digital storage libraries (photos, music and video) are at an all-time high and continue to grow
