Jonathan Jilaxzone
The cloud in the blue sky!
Limited phone storage, expensive top-up to get bigger built-in smartphone storage, expensive cloud subscriptions though there are free options such as Google Drive or Dropbox but anyway they require internet to use it – which come to the next point, limited bandwidth and expensive internet data plan to access and use the cloud storage and the list goes on and on for existing cloud storage solution. Do you ever think, why not create your own cloud storage and bring with you everywhere you go and access it anytime you need – even with no internet data plan?
Turn out, there’s a cheap solution for it and it doesn’t limited to smartphone only but also can be used by computer.
Introducing Portable Cloud
In case any of you wondering and straight away Google that name – likely you won’t find anything since it’s not a company name and it’s not a product name as well. It’s just my term since we are going to create and bring this portable cloud with us anywhere we go and access it anytime we need it.
To create the Portable Cloud, these are the ingredients you need:
1. Wi-Fi Card Reader
2. Micro SD of any size
3. Powerbank
Portable Cloud Components (from left to right): Wi-Fi Card Reader, Micro SD cards, PowerBank
Hopefully I don’t disappoint you as this is not pure DIY from scratch but rather make use of existing piece of available and considerably cheap technologies.
Given all modern smartphones and computers are coming with Wi-Fi modules, so does this Portable cloud – we’ll connect to it via Wi-Fi.
Making your own Portable Cloud!
All you need is to plug the Micro SD to the Wi-Fi Card Reader and plug the Wi-Fi Card Reader to the Powerbank and there you go. You have your own portable cloud which you can bring it anywhere you like, access it anytime you need and have the capacity as big as you like.
Here’s how it does look like in action.
