Welcome to Discover your LaCie CloudBox
The LaCie CloudBox is cloud storage that you keep at home, ready to share with family and friends.
The LaCie CloudBox keeps you connected to your world. All your music, movies, photos, and more, accessible on all your devices, and easily shareable with your family and friends.
- Cloud: Online storage that is always available worldwide.
- Home Cloud: Personal storage kept in the home that is always available worldwide.
Install. Store. Share.
One plug, one click. It's that simple. Keep all the files spread across your home computers in one place. Mom's photos, dad's music, the kids' movies – all on the LaCie CloudBox. File sharing at home has never been so easy. Store files in the Family folder for shared family access, or create Private folders for personal or limited access to private files.
- The Family Folder - Share photos, videos, music, and other content with anyone in the home simply by dropping the files into the pre-created Family folder on the LaCie Cloudbox.
- Private Folders - Keep financial documents and other important data private by creating your own Private folder linked to your user account. Even grant access to other users.
- Share With Friends - Sharing happens outside the home, too. Send friends and relatives files with secure download links or by sharing folders in the cloud.
- Secure Download Links - Send a secure download link to share photos with relatives and out-of-town friends without the vulnerability and size limits of sending them via email.
- Desktop & Mobile Apps - Grant access to folders stored in your cloud. All your friends and family need to do is download the desktop or mobile app.

Examples:
 |
Centralize your media
You have tons of documents, music, movies, and photos spread across your home network – on your computers, external hard drives, cameras, and other devices. Centralize the family data on your LaCie CloudBox to save time and storage space. |
 |
Share Large Files
You want your parents to see a video of your daughter's tennis match but it is too big for email. To give your parents access to the tennis match and many other great memories, simply copy it to the LaCie CloudBox Family folder. |
 |
Access Anywhere
You forgot to print a special recipe before leaving for your parents' house for the holidays. Since it's stored on your LaCie CloudBox, you can simply log on from your parents' computer and download it. |
 |
TV Playback
Your videos and photos stored on the LaCie CloudBox are ready for playback on the family television. Invite relatives to see videos of your child's birthday party or present a slide show of photos from a recent vacation. |
 |
Add Users & Private Access
You have financial documents, movies with mature content, and other types of sensitive material that are best kept private. Save it to your password-protected personal folder to restrict access. |
 |
Backup
Your home computers store important tax documents, family photos, music libraries, and holiday videos. Unfortunately, a computer hard drive can fail, taking away all the data. To avoid losing files that you rely upon every day, back up your data. |
