Additionally, the LaPlug can also back up multiple computers to one central location.


    Not only does the LaPlug make USB hard drives accessible throughout the home, it even supports remote access. Instead of emailing large files between colleagues/friends, just give them access to the LaPlug – all they need is an Internet connection. The user can even set up a custom web address so access to the LaPlug is as easy as typing a URL.
    You can also connect a USB printer to the LaPlug and make it wirelessly available to all computers on the network.
    The device can also be used to stream multimedia content. If you have movies on a USB key they can just connect it to the LaPlug then play the movie using the multimedia device on the network.
