What is pogoplug you may be asking?The Pogoplug connects your USB drive to the Internet so you can easily share and access your files from anywhere. The Pogoplug is the perfect accessory to your connected life. Imagine accessing all your files and media at home from any laptop or desktop computer, anywhere in the world, or sharing this content with friends and family without having to upload. There’s even an iPhone application so you can always “phone home” to get your files! That’s how the website defines the Pogoplug. It’s all that and a then some. I finally have a way to connect files with family without spending ungodly amounts of money. Priced at $129 the Pogoplug is a great investment and is easy to setup. The plastic frame is very durable. The Pogoplug allows you to connect up to 4 drives with its built in USB ports and even more if you use a USB hub. Setup is a breeze if you know how to connect an ethernet port to your router and plug something in. Then you simply go to the website and activate your Pogoplug online. They even have desktop applications that add the Pogoplug to your Finder if your using mac and explorer if your using Windows. They also provide a free iPhone app to take your files on the go. If your looking for a cheap solution for sending and sharing files with family, or if you just need to stay connected to your files while you are on the road, Pogoplug is for you! If I could change something about the Pogoplug it would have to be the color. Pink, clear and white make you want to hide this unit in your network array. As someone who tries to keep a black and silver color pattern, this just stands out like a sore thumb. Until next time, Keep it Buzzin’

Now there is a way with the new iDisk to share multiple files at one time. It can be done very easily using the Compress command in the iDisk web application. Here is how you can do it:

1) Select the files or folders you want to share. (To select multiple files hold down the Command key on a Mac or the Control key on a PC as you click on each one.)

2) Use the Actions menu via the Gear icon in the Toolbar, and select Compress items. This will automatically create a single compressed file named Archive.zip that contains your files or folders.

3) Share Archive.zip file just as you would any other iDisk file. (Before you share it, you can change the “Archive” part of the name to something more descriptive, but keep the .zip extension so the receiver’s computer will know to decompress the files when the receiver opens it.)
