The Egg as a “personal cloud device,” Egg does everything from store data, import images from many devices (camera, phone, GoPro, etc.) and even serve as a Wi-Fi access point. The Egg offers up to 256GB of storage and works with iOS and Android apps to access and transfer content.
Content-wise, we’re talking around 50,000 photos, up to 45 hours of HD video, or 30,000 songs that can be beamed to The Egg from your phone for safekeeping. It’s quick and easy to back up your files as well.
Just plug The Egg into your phone via its mini USB cable like a charger, choose the content you want to transfer, and then pop The Egg back in your pocket when it’s done. Privately access and share content using their eggstra app its available on both Android and iOS. You can also Message others in complete privacy with “Chat” app that also lets you share hi-res photos and full-length videos.
One of the great things about The Egg is that it doesn’t rely on any kind of cloud-based storage. When your files are safely packed inside, only you can access them – either from The Egg’s tiny built-in touchscreen, or from your own desktop website, and there are no monthly charges for the privilege. Because the egg has a WiFi connection, you can just leave it at home and access your stuff anywhere too.
The Egg has a battery life of around 12 – 14 hours when it’s not tethered to a power outlet, and in case of emergencies, its USB port can be used as a makeshift phone charger. It can also be used as a WiFi hotspot.
