With families and friends living further and further apart it is essential there be a reliable, secure way to share precious photos, videos and digital memories with loved ones, without relying on social networking sites where copyright and publishing controls are a grey area. Research shows that 64 per cent of people dislike sharing family photos publicly online, and 61 per cent of social networking users would share more if they had more control. The need for a secure way to store and back up valuable digital data whilst on the move has never been more important.

In addition to the large storage capacity of up to 2TB, the STOR.E CANVIO Portable HDD also comes with 10GB of free cloud storage using Pogoplug® PC, a cloud storage platform. Toshiba has partnered with Pogoplug® PC to provide owners of the new STOR.E CANVIO Portable HDD with a free subscription to the cloud platform and 10GB of cloud storage. This means that with remote access software from Pogoplug® PC users can access all their digital files stored on the STOR.E CANVIO from mobile devices anywhere providing the STOR.E CANVIO is connected to a PC and Internet environment.
