  • L’idée est merveilleuse et les promesses de simplicité sont grandes, sauf que l’exécution n’est pas très réussie. Oui, vous avez accès à vos fichiers de l’extérieur, mais il vous faudra des disques bien configurés et de la patience pour que le FreeAgen...

  • simplicité, effcicacité, prix, multi-plateforme(Mac, PC et Linux).
  • les fils peuvent vite devenir nombreux.
  • Installation et configuration des plus simple, le FreeAgent de DockStar est le produit de partage et d'accès de contenus (photo, musique, vidéo...) que l'on attendant depuis longtemps. Une vraie réussite !...

  • Massima semplicità di condivisione, senza necessità di un software proprietario. Anche gli amici possono caricare file sui dischi condivisi che possono essere colllegati ai quattro ingressi presenti
  • Il prezzo un un po' alto considerando che il disco non incluso. La velocità di upload e download dal web fortemente condizionata dalla rete di accesso utilizzata.
