– The Pogoplug drive application is well done and works well. As far as I am aware, there is no way to move files or folders in the Pogoplug online application. – The interface of the Pogoplug also needs a bit of work. I have Time Warner 12MPS service, but the Pogoplug is definitely slower to access data than Dropbox. – Your upload and download speeds will depend on your the internet connection that your Pogoplug is connected to. Comparing the Pogoplug to Dropbox isn’t really fair, but here are some of my thoughts. However, there is definitely a bit of a way to go for Pogoplug. I haven’t had any problems like Mystech, and I’m a pretty heavy user of the Pogoplug. For almost half of that cost, I now have my 2 TB drive online. I could have upgraded to the 100 GB plan, but then would be spending up to $200 per year. Previously, I was using dropbox and had upgraded to the 50 GB plan, but realized that I needed another solution as I store a lot of photos and videos that ate up 48 GB in two months. I have a pogoplug for the last four or five months. Moved on, now happy user of the Tonido desktop software (think Opera Unite but stabler). I recently received an email from PogoPlug suggesting that a new update from them MIGHT address the widespread issues, but frankly, I’m just not willing to try it and have to restore my data again (and again and again). The PogoPlug might be a nice gizmo for casual access to your data but I would not recommend it for anything valuable, irreplaceable or in a situation where reliability is a factor. the loss of access to data (and worse yet, actual data loss) was just too much to endure. While support staff was communicative and patient, they had no actually solutions. It can take less than 60 seconds to set up a Pogoplug. Lost date, permission lock outs on files/folders, constantly re-indexing data. Pogoplug gives both novice users and serious tech heads the chance to set up their own personal cloud server. If you would like to install Debian to the internal flash memory instead of a USB drive, please see this discussion on the forum.Being a past PogoPlug owner & user I have to offer a cautionary tale… for months, myself and other users suffered under issues after a particularly bad update to the device from the manufacturer. If you wish to install Debian Lenny, please see the old installation page. This will install Debian on a USB drive connected to your Dockstar. If you'd prefer to run a distro other than Debian, and just want to unlock the bootloader, please see the uBoot page. The factory setting has the NAND flash memory set into four partitions. It has 4 USB ports, and unlike other Plug Computers, the ports are powered so you can attach regular USB thumb drives as well as higher-capacity portable drives. If you decide that you don't like Debian and want to use the old Pogoplug software, simply unplug your USB drive and reboot.Īfter you've installed Debian, please visit the forums for additional project ideas and support. The DockStar has 128MB of RAM and 256MB of flash memory. From there, you can install any of the 25,000+ packages from the Debian repository. The installer will create a simple Debian Linux installation on your external USB drive. This guide will replace the locked bootloader on your device with a new version that can boot from a variety of locations, including USB drives. Run Linux on your Dockstar, GoFlex, or Pogoplug NAS Unlocking your Dockstar, GoFlex, or Pogoplug
