When it comes to sharing your files, Apollo is ready to help you do that quickly and securely. You can set up your inner circle and assign storage space on your Apollo Cloud Duo to 40 people of your choosing. Each member can save items on the cloud device, and share their files with others via time limited links. Members cannot access another member’s files,so no need to worry. When sharing your files to an unlimited amount of people, you can send time-limited links to specific content.

“In launching our second-generation product, we designed the Apollo Cloud Duo with careful consideration and our consumers needs in mind,” said Justin Cleveland, director, biz dev – IoT, Promise. “Aligning with our main goal to redesign storage and sharing, the Duo is easy to use and ensures content is always with the consumer – whether they are at home or on-the-go.“

List of some additional key features:

• Quick camera roll backup – Taking countless photos is great for capturing important memories, but terrible for the onboard storage on your devices. Apollo Cloud allows to instantly free up space on a phone with the swipe of a finger. Now, you can auto-sync your photos and not worry about that dreaded ‘storage full’ alert just when you need to snap a picture or video.

• Location based and facial recognition photo albums – When you have thousands of photos it’s pretty hard to remember where you took them. Now, the Apollo Cloud app can help catalog your photos by geotagging them and pinpointing the exact location of a photo’s origin and saving them into albums by location. Also, looking for a photo of a specific person? It helps you by identifying those in your photos and creating special albums for each person. This can save you time when you’re looking for a particular photo.

• Time Machine support – Not only can you backup multiple Mac’s to the same Apollo, but Apollo is the only device that features incremental Time Machine backups over the Internet. So, no matter where you are you can still backup.

• HDD – Apollo Cloud 2 Duo features a Marvell Technology Group Ltd dual core processer. You can set up Duo to be configured as RAID-0 (stripped) or RAID1 (mirrored) based on your needs. In RAID-0, you will have access to all 8TB for storage and RAID-1 will give you access to 4TB of storage space with the other 4TB used as a mirrored backup. In addition, Duo allows hot swappable HDDs giving you the freedom to switch out HDDs quickly.
