PCDVD數位科技討論區 - 擁有自己的 Dropbox﹣Plug

Plug: the brain of your devices
這個東西不知道有沒有搞頭，前幾天看到他開始募集，幾個小時內就達成目標了
他可以讓你自己選擇硬碟的容量，他還幫你開發好了各種平臺的 App，和 Dropbox 不一樣的地方是他不用把檔案集中在一個目錄裡面。
如果你有一個 Plug，你的朋友也有，你們可以互相作備援，不過因為檔案是加密的，互相都看不到。
如果你有兩個 Plug，一個放家裡，一個放公司，他會自己同步檔案，也是異地備援。
剛剛看到的時候就下定了，不過下定之後疑問越來越多。
他說安裝很簡單，那要不要做 port mapping? 還有動態 IP 的問題。

With Plug, all your devices are connected with each other thanks to a zero-configuration, private and encrypted VPN (asymmetric encryption based on RSA-2048/SHA-1 keys). We had excellent speed benchmarks on this network. It goes through any main NAT & firewall we tested, it's decentralized when possible, and it doesn't require any user configuration. It's safe and does the job.

他還說如果你有更多的 Plug 不只會更安全，還會更快（CDN？）

引用:

Your Plugs will automatically work together to replicate your content. Two Plugs are enough. But with each Plug you buy, your data gets more secure and also faster to access. If some of your friends have Plug, you can also ask your Plugs to back up each other's content. Your data is encrypted, so your friends will not be able to read it.

目前還不支援共用，將來可能會支援（一家人共用一台，或是開帳號給朋友，可以開多個帳號）

Not yet, but it's something high in our priority list. We are working on it.

Hopefully, in the near future, people living in the same house will be able to use a single Plug. They would be able to share the same hard drives, without sharing all of their data with each other.

However, this "family" feature will probably come only a few months after we ship.
For the time being, we advise you to consider using one Plug device per user: you will win both in convenience and performance.

還有，如果你在 USB 端接了一個以上的硬碟，你可以選擇增加容量（JBOD？）或是鏡像（Raid1?)

引用:

With a simple USB hub, you can connect up to eight drives per Plug. Because Plug stores your content in regular USB drives, you don’t need to buy fancy hardware from us just to get more space. And you can own your storage, not rent it.
