About the Stora

NETGEAR Stora is a highly secure and stable home server that lets you collect, store, manage,
share and enjoy your digital media content, including personal photos, music, videos and
documents. It is easy to drag and drop digital media to Stora, catalog it into folders, and share it by
creating albums.
Stora is compatible with a wide range of hardware platforms and allows you to access your content
through digital media players on your home network, or from any computer in the world through
the web. You can even upload, download and view your content on a mobile handset. Stora can
also be set up to automatically back up your data, saving it from loss.
Store
Stora allows you securely store all your digital media in one place and to upload content locally
from a computer on the home network, or remotely through access across the Internet. For
example, it allows you to upload photos while you're on the road or on vacation. See "Accessing
the Stora" on page 1-32 for more information.
You can back up any PC and Mac on your home network to the Stora. The Desktop Mirror
software automatically backs up selected folders on a regular basis. Backed up content is always
available, even if a computer is turned off. See Chapter 2, "Stora Agent" for more information.
Manage
You can organize your digital media into shared FamilyLibrary folders or private MyLibrary
folders. After you upload a file, you can add a caption and tags to the file. Later you can search for
files that match the caption and tags. See Chapter 3, "Stora Application" for more information.
Share
You can create albums to share your digital media with family on your home network and friends
across the Internet. You can even share selected content with the public, while keeping private
media secure. For example, you can put the latest baby pictures in a shared album, and let friends
and family know they are available via email or Facebook. See "Working with Albums" on
page 3-23 for more information.
