<p>The brainchild of storage experts Promise Technology, Apollo Cloud (http://www.promise.com/us/Products/Apollo) ($249 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/PROMISE-TECHNOLOGY-Apollo-Promise-4000GB/dp/B01H7KQMM0)) was designed with photo sharing in mind. Apollo Cloud combines a 4TB external hard drive housed in a white case with encrypted, always-on cloud connectivity and free apps for macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android devices. The handsome hardware is quiet and aesthetically complements existing Apple products.</p><p>Measuring 5.6 x 7.5 x 2.4 inches and weighing 2.64 pounds, Apollo Cloud plugs into existing network routers with the included gigabit ethernet cable, and there’s also a USB 3.0 port on the back for transferring or backing up files to another drive. A white status LED on the front glows or changes colors based on current activity, but can be dimmed or disabled entirely from the app settings.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3167688/network-storage/apollo-cloud-review-a-personal-cloud-storage-alternative-to-icloud-photo-library.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
