Cloud-based services like iCloud and Dropbox are useful because they make documents, photos, and other media easily shareable and accessible anywhere, but there is a downside — that content is stored offsite on an unknown server not under an individual user’s control.
With Apollo, a new personal cloud device launching today, Promise Technology aims to combine the cloud’s ease of use with the security of local storage. The Apollo, Promise Technology’s first consumer-facing product, is also the first network-attached storage option for families and small businesses, designed specifically to allow for multiple individuals to share dedicated storage space.
The Apollo, priced at $299, is being sold exclusively through Apple.com and in Apple retail stores starting on June 7.
