This is a great product. I have only had it for a couple of weeks and although it was easy to setup and use, it took quite a bit of time to transfer photos from my Apple-based cell phone to the device. I am sure I will find a way to speed up this process. Once you have it loaded with your pics, it is seamless to update the latest pictures automatically!

First off, setup is a pain. As with a lot of other purchasers, I couldn't get past the blinking light. Altho I was able to contact technical support, the response as to how to troubleshoot would not be acceptable if you're not technically savvy. Also, I have all my photos organized in specific folders. I asked tech support if ibi will be able to sync accordingly and was told ibi will not perform this task. It's main purpose is to automatically upload phones from your mobile device and to share your photos with your "circle of friends". It's really just a hard drive inside plastic casing.

Great because can access thousands of pictures from any of my devices wherever I am. Nice to share pictures with others privately where I control who see's my pictures. Own my private Cloud without cost of subscribing or rely on my pictures being "out there" at some other location than my own private devices. Pictures from cell phone automatically copied to my ibi - saves a lot of time. Can add pictures, organized files from any of my storage devices Great backup, but wouldn't rely on it being my only backup (good general practice)

Great for families! Brings everyone’s special moments together and shares privately amongst family members. Kept everyone connected with the growing children and from feeling isolated during all the the pandemic and social distancing. They seem to be constantly improving this great app and adding new unique features. 2TB of storage has worked great

I feel like I've uncovered a secret with Ibi. This is an awesome tool! I run a personal instance of nextcloud to backup my iphone photos but this tool, while propritary, runs faster backups and it is a piece of cake to run. I LOVE the concept of having a locally-based server for sharing photos with my inner circle. With the ibi tool I can share photos with my family and feel zero reservation that some tech giant may be mining these photos to help me pick out my next pair of sunglasses or something more nefarious. Huge sense of privacy gained by moving my content to this local cloud. Because the ibi product is basically a small 2.5" hd in a minimal case with plenty of airflow, it has the natural problem of a lack of redundancy. The ibi software offers a year of backup-to-the-cloud support for 40$ *per user per year* which seems expensive and it is not for me but it is realitively reasonable for 1-2 TB of backup. I don't know how well this product would perform if I exposed it to the outside of my network. I've invited a family member who doesn't live with us to upload to our ibi and it does not seem to work very well but realistically for this price having the device local and backing up photos on top of icloud or other tools - especially as google photos is changing this year makes great sense.Read full review

Nothing but password problems. The unit does not recognize it once entered. Tech support is absolutely worthless. The tech who I talked didn't seem to know anything about the unit. He said the their specialist team would resolve the issue and get back to me in 24 hrs. Its been three days, no response. What a joke!

Good product but you must have your cellphone connected to it to access your stored images

Plugged in the IBI, installed the app on my Windows 10 computer, installed the app on my phone, they synced. I selected what to sync, created accounts. All done.
