I wanted to say thank you moonman!
I've picked up half a dozen or so PogoPlugs so far but never tried the original cloud engine software until last night. I was very pleasantly surprised with the features (given all the negative reviews of the product).
My favorite feature is that the iOS PogoPlug app (which just got totally revamped last week), has the ability to automatically sync/backup your iPhone camera roll (photos and video) to your PogoPlug. Music streaming over the internet, the ability to copy a video back to your iPhone camera roll, and the ability to share files on your PogoPlug via email/URL also deserves notable mention.
BTW, supposedly you're also able to get a free 20GB of cloud storage from PogoPlug if you sign up for Adorama VIP (free) -
http://www.adorama.com/pages/vip. I say supposedly because I never received the email from PogoPlug with instructions on how to activate the promotion. I went ahead and emailed PogoPlug support today about it so hopefully I'll get it.
Some constructive feedback regarding the instructions. I was a little confused about the svcid and the /etc/pogoplug.conf file (and how it relates to the /usr/local/cloudengines/hbplug.conf file) . I went through the thread and got it working, but I think the original post could be a little bit more clear.
I know the package is generic for any ARM5 device, but maybe the instructions should be more targeted at PogoPlug owners. Instead of have a new svcid generated, the /etc/pogoplug.conf should just tell the user to use the one from the bottom of their pogoplug.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#example below: vfsdir<number>=<name>,<path>
vfsdir0=plugdata,/media/2TBDrive/Downloads
installdir=/usr/local/cloudengines
#datadir=.
datadir=.
nohotplug=1
#use the ID from the bottom of your PogoPlug (no dashes)
svcid=
')
Note: my.pogoplug.com was not able to autodetect my pogoplug. I had to enter my ID on the bottom of my pogoplug and match it up with what was entered in /etc/pogoplug.conf. I guess if it was able to autodetect my pogoplug it would have used the auto generated svcid? It looks like content of /etc/pogoplug.conf is copied to /usr/local/cloudengines/hbplug.conf on start up? Is that correct?
