Verbatim provides for all those users with a consumer friendly device that stands apart from other consumer network storage products, with both hardware and software features in several key areas. The MediaShare Home Network server is not only feature rich but benefits from a sleek and stylish aluminium enclosure that makes it a tasteful accessory for consumers' homes.
Viewing photos, playing music, downloading or uploading files from any internet-connected computer by remote access is very easy with the MediaShare. The www.myverbatim.com portal allows users to seamlessly upload and share photo albums directly to social networking sites such as Facebook and Flickr*. Moreover, users can create albums and automatically email links to family and friends who can view or download photos directly over any internet enabled computer. Music can be streamed easily to iTunes® users on any computer, Mac® or Windows connected to the home network, further enhancing home entertainment equipment. The MediaShare can also be used to display photos or play music on a flat screen TV through DLNA-enabled devices such as Digital Media Players Playstation® 3 or XBox360TM
Easy-to-use interface and multiple connectivity
Verbatim MediaShare comes with a simple user-friendly interface to retrieve, store and share files. Using the unique Easy Transfer button, consumers can upload content directly to the server from any portable hard drive, flash drive or single slot card reader connected to the front USB port. MediaShare also supports Apple Time Machine® for Mac® users or Windows Backup allowing users to backup content located on a networked computer.
