Recently, ASUS as one of the global leaders in the new digital era has announced the AiCloud to enrich users’ digital lives with the latest technologies. Basically, ASUS AiCloud brings the convenience of cloud-based storage to everyone with a combination of easy to use technology and services, as well as indefinite storage and increased privacy. At home, users simply use the new ASUS RT-AC66U at the centre of their network, which then provides combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless data transfer speeds of up to 1.75Gbps via 802.11ac, and acts as the hub for a number of cloud services.
As mentioned in its official site, there will be four main features found in this cloud space namely the Smart Access, Smart Sync, Easy Sharing and Cloud Disk. The Smart Access feature will allow any networked computer to be incorporated into a personal cloud for selective file sharing over the internet, using any compatible Windows, Mac and Linux device. Compatible devices can even be woken from sleep by remote control, which means there is no need to waste energy by leaving computers running 24/7.
ASUS Smart Sync makes it easy to synchronize data on local storage devices with an ASUS WebStorage account. Synchronization is automatic and takes place in the background to ensure that files are always up to date, plus files can also be easily shared with friends using a simple URL.
With Easy Sharing feature, you can send any file to anyone with a link or you can easily send a file or group of files to anyone instantly with a Web link. ASUS Cloud Disk provides remote access to multimedia content held on any storage device connected to the ASUS RT-AC66U’s USB port, which means users have access to their own media server on everything from Android or iOS-based smartphones or tablets to notebooks and no longer need to store space-hungry music and movie collections locally.
AiCloud offers increased functionality over other cloud services, with features such as indefinite storage, improved privacy through your own private cloud, and high-speed downloading, streaming, sharing or syncing of files across multiple devices. The AiCloud app is available as a free download from either the Play Store on Android or the App Store on iOS devices. [IS]
