You've been scanning gift guides on the web for something unique to gift your graduate; something less than a car but something more useful and personal than a gift certificate! Well, we've got the perfect gift that will give years of money saving returns to your recently celebrated student.
The Amber X and AmberPRO are smart devices that act like popular cloud services (think Apple iCloud, Google Cloud, Dropbox), but are local devices that keep your personal privacy intact, and look akin to hard drives. As a bonus, they eliminate subscription fees from those aforementioned services!
So what's the deal? Why are these so great?
For your graduate, whether it be high school or college, they'll have lots of data to store: photos, videos, memories, spreadsheets, reports... document after document. Because of this, they are going to have to go through the juggling that many of us go through, how to free up space on our digital devices with the least amount of money and time wasted. With Amber, that's easy. Move all of your data over to Amber and take it off your digital devices- with no subscription fees! Need more data? Simply buy an external hard drive and hook it up to Amber via USB connection and it will add more. Up to 12 TB has been added by some of our customers!
So what's the difference between this and an NAS (Network Attached Storage)? Amber is a private cloud. Most NAS devices only allow you to access your data locally. Amber allows you to be anywhere with a web connection and access your data. On a train in Italy on a backpacking adventure? Backup your photos easily to your Amber at home. In your college dorm room? Keep your Amber safe and sound at your parent's house and backup to it remotely. It makes having an NAS way more convenient than before.
Secondly, traditional NAS devices will gather all of your photos and video, but it will not organize them for you. Our free Amber iX app for phone and computer will keep your media organized, just like your traditional Photos app. This way, you can scroll easily through all of your images with ease. Otherwise, on a traditional hard drive or NAS, you'll be looking at unorganized files and folders, determining how exactly to organize everything.
Third, Amber makes files easy to share and backup. Have a file on your Amber that you want to share with friends or family? Just right click on the file itself and you'll get a sharing link to invite others to download or edit the file- works through email, link, or SMS. Our included Amber iX software on computers will also allow you to make daily backups through Time Machine. It also acts similarly to Dropbox for easy drag-and-drop backup convenience.
Finally, streaming services have really cracked down on sharing passwords. Your student may not be able to afford a service they love to sit back and relax. All Amber devices have the ability to run Plex- a free service that allows for viewing of free movies and shows. Run a Plex server on your Amber for the whole dorm and have it share media to any device. A really cool feature that'll make you royalty in the dorm!
