Portable backup with remote access
The Toshiba Canvio Connect provides 500 GB of external storage for PC and Mac users who want automatic backup and the ability to reach their files from phones, tablets or other computers over the internet when the host machine stays powered on. It includes a free 10 GB cloud allowance for the most important items and requires no reformatting to work on either platform.
Before ordering check host power and connectivity
Your computer must remain on and connected to the internet for remote access to function, so verify that sleep or hibernation settings will not interrupt the link. Password-protected encryption is available but must be enabled in the supplied software before sensitive data is written to the drive.
Sustained use stays cool and quiet
The drive has no active cooling and relies on its metal enclosure to dissipate heat during long backup sessions or continuous file streaming, so surface temperatures will rise gradually but remain within normal operating limits for a mechanical portable drive.
