Your files are stored on your Home Network

Use your NAS to backup files; Videos, Music and Photos etc.
Traditional Cloud services store your files on their servers anywhere in the world

​MyUsbCoud leaves your files on your Home Network, on your own hard drive/s

Keep your Videos, Music, Photos, and Files safe at Home and share and/or stream them (on your local network) to your Media Player, PC, Mac, Phone or Tablet when you need them

Insert it into your Raspberry Pi

Your Raspberry Pi will show up on your home network as MUD (MyUsbDrive)
You can then create directories and save files to it using File Explorer or other 'Backup' App

Our Vision

There are many examples online of how to setup a Raspberry Pi as a Network Attached Device (NAS) and that’s great if you want to spend the time doing all the work yourself

We wanted to create an image to download and copy to an SD card that would “just work” without making any changes
So we have done all the hard work for you and created an image for the you to simply download and use

Ultimately we wanted to provide you with a Cloud storage solution where you know where your Files and Data are stored!
