Your own personal cloud

Personal cloud storage

With the MyCloud, both your hardware and data are located in your own home. You have full control over it and always know exactly what's going on and who has access to it.

Cloud access

The personal cloud allows you to store all your digital data in a centralized location, securely tucked away somewhere safe in your home, yet with full access to it no matter where you are and what device you are currently using.

Full control

You decide how much of it you want to share and with whom, either going very public and posting the files on the social network, keeping it among your friends with invites or very personal just for yourself.
