While I’ve been embracing the Google Pixel 3’s ability to store media to Google Photos, the Apollo 3 is BIT more reliable in terms of storing my full resolution photos automatically via the app, as well as creating albums based on facial recognition and locations. Being directly connected to my Gigabit internet, streams come in fast and fluid, and if I chose to share the content, I can do so privately, or publicly, which is similar to the share features from Cloud-based platforms like Dropbox, however I can revoke access at a given time, without a monthly fee. This is one thing I know for a fact Dropbox and Google Drive have yet to compete with the Apollo Cloud. It can also serve as a shared server, like I do, for storing my movies and television shows so I can stream through my Plex app when I am not at home to watch them. This is helpful if you decide to keep backups of your desktop or laptop in the event it may one day crash.

This is possibly one of the most innovative components of the Apollo Could 2 Duo as not only does it make transferring faster than attempting to transfer via your desktop to the Apollo Web Client for Mac or PC, but if you have multiple drives you need to move storage to, there are fewer chances files will be missed in efforts of transitioning all of your files via WiFi.Īll of your content is completely secure and can be encrypted to your liking. To the back of the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo are three female outputs, one for the AC adapter at the base, one for the Ethernet, and one USB port that is meant to both transferring files from a pre-existing hard drive to the Apollo or to expand the storage.
On the front of the device, there’s not much to see other than the branding and a “power” button that it touch-sensitive that will illuminate green when connected to your router. Now I personally have my router in my laundry room, and luckily I had a free slot for the Apollo but if you worry about having space for your Apollo next to a router, I would make the proper adjustments. You receive the Apollo Cloud itself in its white color-way, the AC adapter for plugging into a power source, and an Ethernet cable which allows you to directly plug the Apollo into your home router. Inside of the box, everything is pretty straightforward.
