The backup service has incoming and outgoing configurations and handles multiple devices by default. On the other hand, setting up backups between Tonido nodes is easy and preferable since you have control over both ends. Tonido does not provide web-based backup but it can work with these types of services. I could access Tonido via the Droid's web browser and I could also access the server using the ES File Explorer application. Tonido has an iPhone app but I run a Droid. Tonido is one of the few platforms in this space that works standalone, via the Internet using dynamic DNS though a NAT gateway, as well as via the website.

Signing up for a Tonido website account is free but not a requirement. The web-based interface was the same on each platform.

Likewise, installing Tonido on a PC was a straightforward process including the initial configuration. Getting the TonidoPlug up and running was very simple but more on that later. To say I am suitably impressed is an understatement. I used it through a NAT gateway using Tonido's website as well as direct access using dynamic DNS and a free account on one of the dynamic DNS services. I tried out Tonido on a couple of platforms including TonidoPlug and Tonido on PCs running Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora) and Windows. This allows users to share files automatically. Tonido also provides synchronization options between Tonido devices. Group collaboration is handy and all the data is stored on the users' computers instead of a service such as GoogleDocs.

Most applications are free although more advanced versions sometimes have an additional charge like the Pro version of Tonido Webshare. There is even an application for managing and downloading via BitTorrent. They handle everything from streaming multimedia, access to web services like Flikr to personal finance. Tonido can also run a host of applications that can be downloaded from Tonido's site. The advantage is Tonido's website is not involved.Īccessing files is just basic services provided by Tonido. The challenge for most users is opening a hole in their NAT gateway. This requires a fixed IP address or support for dynamic DNS. The second approach is how more conventional NAS devices could be access via the Internet. Security is provided by user names and passwords. These devices access Tonido's website providing access via Tonido devices or a web browser. In this case, a user gets an account on Tonido's site and registers one or more Tonido devices like a TonidoPlug or a PC running Tonido's software. This type of service is on par with other plug devices. The first approach is via Tonido's website. Access can be provided using two mechanisms. Like other plug systems, Tonido provides access using these mechanisms via the Internet. Access to these files can be done on a local network using conventional drive mappings.

So what does Tonido's namesake software do? At its core is a NAS server providing access to files stored on a local disk. Web and network access works with a number of smartphones as well.

Tonido's TonidoPlug is like the other pluggable NAS devices like PogoPlug and CloudPlug except that the same software services can run on other platforms like Apple's Macintosh, a Linux or Windows PC. Instead, these are platforms that actually run Tonido's software.

This is not to say that those other platforms do not support different client platforms. Securely access your storage from anywhere on the Internet Tonido stands out from other platforms like CloudEngines PogoPlug and Ctera's CloudPlug because of its cross platform support.
