The Android app is just as good as it is on iOS.
So, in short, Windows access is doable, but not as slick as it is on the Mac.
#APOLLO CLOUD 2 DUO ACCESS DRIVE MANUAL#
A PC app allows for a mount, and the drive can be addressed on the network with a manual IP entry, but the ease of use for the PC isn't quite as refined as it on the Apple side of the fence. The array doesn't seem to have any kind of SMB at all. So, instead of "pushing" content to the iPad before you sit down to read from your library stashed on your computer, you can "pull" it with the Files app from the Cloud 2 DuoĪccess on Windows is.problematic. Instead of relying on apps to have their own network retrieval routines, like that included with the in-app purchase of GoodReader, you can load up the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo with your own PDFs, grab them from Files, and "pull" them from the iPad or iPhone, and move them to any compatible app. We might be under-selling the integration with the iOS Files app a bit, and it is as good as we thought it was after we took it out of the box. The Apollo Cloud app must be downloaded from the App Store to access the array at first - but after that installation and subsequent login, it pops up in the Finder's list of accessible drives, and the available Time Machine targets as well.
Write speeds were similar, with the array writing 92 megabytes per second with the large files, and 74 megabytes per second with the small files.Īccess on the Mac isn't initially quite as simple as logging into the device from the Finder, at least at first.

On a Gigabit Ethernet wired network, the Promise Cloud 2 Duo gave us read speeds of about 110 megabytes per second with large files all over 1 gigabyte in size, and 82 megabytes per second while transferring a 10 gigabyte folder full of relatively small AAC files. For the tech savvy, it also has an easy mirroring procedure to another Apollo across the internet, perhaps allowing for some easy backup solutions for people you get sucked into supporting, without turning to a subscription service like Backblaze.
