Sanho previews CloudFTP at Macworld | iWorld 2012

Sanho had its Kickstarter-funded CloudFTP at Macworld | iWorld 2012 this year, and the project has generated a lot of excitement.

Sanho's Daniel Chin originally sought $100,000 in funding through Kickstarter, but wound up with more than 2,700 backers and more than $262,000 by the time the pledge drive ended three weeks ago.

CloudFTP is an adapter that turns any USB storage device into a wireless file server. It can share files with any WiFi-enabled device and will back up data to cloud storage on the Internet. It creates its own ad-hoc wireless network to share data, and it can be accessed from a web app, iOS app (there's one for Android as well) or via FTP.

CloudFTP is expected to ship in early February to Kickstarter participants and will cost $99.95 retail. Check out the video below to discover CloudFTP can do.

How is this different from what PogoPlug used to be? Same thing.

Sounded like she said USB 1.1 way to sloe for streaming video to 1 never mind multiple devices. Also if it is FTP then not for streaming anyway. Need more information.

Pretty great idea. Rather than buying one of those drives that are specifically for "expanding the capacity" of mobile devices, you can just attach this to any size drive that you feel like. I was interested in some of those capacity expanders but I didn't like the capacity options for the price. Since I already have USB storage devices adding this thing to it for an extra $100 is a no-brainer.

It makes its own ad-hoc wifi network? That sounds awful. Unless you can configure it to connect to a real network.

w/o ad-hoc it would be useless on the road (where there's no wifi)
