Tonido has three levels of entry, 1) there is a free app that runs on your PC and makes shared folders available as a personal cloud, 2) there is a paid app ($30) that is like the free app but with more features, 3) there is TonidoPlug which is a hardware device as described above, and includes option 2. The TonidoPlug itself is $99 plus shipping, and then there is the cost of USB hard drives. I have about $200 tied up in the system and don't regret it.

I started with the free app, and was impressed enough with the possibilities that I decided to go for the hardware solution. Since it also provides NAS capabilities, and reviewing the cost of NASs, I think it turns out to be a bargain.
