Is this like the Pogoplug where even if I'm home I still need a web browser to access my files?

I am a Cirago NUS2000 user and I do not use the web browser to access my files. The drives I have attached to the Cirago unit are mapped like any other network drives with their own drive designation.

The access to the files is not through web interface. To use it on home network, the product requires you to add the Cirgago as your network drive. In this way you can access the files, make changes and save them in the same location. If outside the access is still done as a network folder (that's why you can not just access it in every computer, you should have administrative right to create the network drive). The bets usage outside network is viewing, moving files. I have not been able to open an excel file work on it and save it in the same location.

The Pogo device simply makes a backup copy to a separate drive on the system. I quit using it to avoid time required each time computer was turned on. I do not keep computers up 24 hour/day.

You may authorize multiple computers to access drives using PogoPlug software. Simply install pogoplu on various computers on the same (home) network.

Yes. They call it bridging mode, you can use the default method of bridging under wireless settings or there are some youtube videos that show a slightly more advanced method. Also a bit of patience, for whatever reason it is slow to allow access to the web initially but works fine within half an hour or less.

My version has a USB cord that connects to the computer to get Internet downloads

The short answer is no, there is no simple, convenient, fast and reliable way to use the PogoPlug to backup your OS. The best way to think about PogoPlug is as a Google Drive or Amazon Cloud Drive, except that it gives you flexibility of where the storage is hosted.

If I remember you need Internet to set it up initially and to download any games, music, or pictures but it just plugs into your computer. Otherwise you can just buy the cartridges.

As in somewhat of the other answers, remote streaming & download speed depends on your home internet upload speed. If you don't have at least 3Mbps up, you will not be happy with the performance. I have 6Mbps up & performance is fine. The ver 4 Pogoplug device has many nice features & simply works as a portal to your home network.

Only if you have archlinux installed and set up to use samba, the software that is preinstalled on the device needs pogoplug's servers to work

You don't really need to download an app if you're smart phone has a file manager on it. Once you plug the drive to the phone you will get a pop-up with the files on it. It's already loaded with outo open.

The answer is no. The pogoplug only provides USB host ports that are designed to attach to slaved USB flash/external HDDs or mobile devices that have USB slave ports (and also support USB Mass Storage Class access to their internal storage). You, on the other hand, need a slave device (such as a USB stick or external USB HDD) to connect to the port on your TV (which serves as a USB host).

It has a full web browser on it. Attach a usb keyboard and you can surf any website as you would a computer.

It acts as though it is an external drive. Just plug in and access your files, it's super easy.

it should, its essentially a tiny remote drive, the file system can only be viewed in a browser tho, then its just a matter of dragging and dropping to your desired folder

The unit itself is plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. Other computers on your network can access the files via wifi also over the internet.
