Users love Drobo®for the protection that Drobo provides for photos, videos, files, and your entire digital life

at home or for your home office—and for its easy-of-use. And they often want to share these files with

others or access them when they’re away from home. This makes the concept of personal cloud quite

interesting: this document discusses Pogoplug and how you can use Pogoplug Software to create a

personal cloud. Also included is a section describing cloud backup of selected content on a Drobo to the

Pogoplug Cloud.

Like Drobo, Pogoplug Software is an easy-to-use application, which takes only a few minutes to install and

configure. Pogoplug Remote Access Software enables remote access and sharing of files stored on a Drobo

from a computer anywhere in the world. Remote access is free of charge with Pogoplug Remote Access

Software; media streaming is available with a one-time unlimited license.

Benefits of Pogoplug Software include:

•Consolidate all your storage devices

•Access your files from anywhere

•Stream content to a remote device*

•Protect your data by syncing it to the cloud

* Requires premium membership upgrade with which a one-time fee buys a license for ALL your computers.

Installing Pogoplug Software

STEP 1

NOTE: Pogoplug Uploader, also called Pogoplug Browser, is not the software to use for remote access to a

Drobo; it is used exclusively for Pogoplug Cloud.

From the computer that has

access to the Drobo storage

(and that will remain powered

on to run Pogoplug Software),

go to the Pogoplug website

(www.pogoplug.com). Click

Expansion at the bottom left

or go directly to the expansion

page,

pogoplug.com/expansion.

Download the Free Trial of

Pogoplug Remote Access

Software.

STEP 2

Once the Pogoplug Remote Access Software

file is downloaded, start the installation.

Depending on your security settings, you may

be asked to accept a warning to run the

Pogoplug installation.

Continue and select a language, accept the

license agreement, and confirm or change the

install location.

Finally, click Run Pogoplug and click Finish.

STEP 3

Once the software is installed, create a

Pogoplug account to manage your personal

cloud leveraging the Drobo storage at your

home or home office.

In the Welcome to Pogoplug dialog, select “I

am new to Pogoplug” and click Next.

STEP 4

NOTE: Premium access allows you to stream content from your Drobo storage device anywhere in the

world, including to mobile devices, for greater functionality and freedom of access to your data. It is

available for a one-time fee.

Now create your Pogoplug account by entering

your email address and a password. If you

already have a Premium License Code, enter it.

If not, you can upgrade at a future time.

STEP 5

NOTE ON IMAGE DATABASES: Some photo management software such as Apple Aperture and media

management software such as Apple iTunes use a database for organizing files. Pogoplug Remote Access

Software works with individual files in a folder structure and not on files in a database structure. For

remote access, choose the file location where the source files reside and not the location of your

management software database. Excluding the location of management software databases is

recommended. If necessary, create a location for individual files not in a database to facilitate access via

Pogoplug.

NOTE ON BACKUP: The data in the location(s) selected for remote access will not be backed up offsite to

the Pogoplug Cloud following these instructions provided so far in this document. These instructions enable

remote access and download of your files. If you want to back up your data to the Pogoplug Cloud, see the

section entitled, “Syncing data from your Drobo to the Pogoplug Cloud.”

Finally, the Pogoplug wizard will ask you

which files you would like to make available

for remote access. Common locations are

suggested in the Pogoplug wizard.

Depending on the number of files on your

Drobo, it may not be practical to share all of

them, as indexing can take a long time and

creates many index files. It is recommended

that you choose the types of files (photos,

movies, documents) that you are most likely to

want to share or access remotely.

Keep in mind that additional folders or files

stored on your Drobo can be added at any time

using the Pogoplug Preference screen of the

newly installed software (illustrated in the

following section).

The newly installed Pogoplug agent is started automatically when you boot your computer. As stated

previously, the computer on which the software is installed must be powered on for access to your personal

cloud. From the agent, you can add specific files from specified locations to be remotely viewed through the

system tray (most likely located on the bottom right of your screen).

Adding Remote Access for Drobo Storage

Pogoplug icon to

navigate to your

Pogoplug Preferences.

In the Pogoplug

Preferences window,

Access tab to view a

list of the current folders

selected for remote

access.

STEP 3

Next click the add

folder icon to select

data located on your

Drobo for remote

access.

STEP 3A

Pogoplug Remote Access Software is not optimized for adding database applications such as Aperture or

iTunes for remote access or cloud backup. In this example the folders Pictures (left) and Music (right) are

selected for remote access.

STEP 3B

Since you’ve added only specific files on your Drobo for remote access using your personal cloud, the

folders are now visible in your preferences shown below.

Accessing Files Remotely and Streaming Files

STEP 1

In a web browser, go to

my.pogoplug.com/ and log into

your account. Once you’re

logged in, the added locations

for your personal cloud are

displayed.

NOTE: For DAS or iSCSI SAN

Drobos, the computer to which

the Drobo is connected must be

powered on so that you can

access the data on that Drobo.

The added locations for your personal cloud are

displayed.

STEP 2

Your data stored on your Drobo in the previous section is now available in your personal cloud and visible

via your Pogoplug account. To view your files, select the folder you would like to explore. In this example

the folder titles Music was selected.

song, select the file and it will play automatically shown in the player controls located at the bottom of the

browser screen.

choose the desired action.

STEP 4
