No longer a viable company or App
I have not been able to use this app for over a year. Can’t even log on their web interface anymore. They do even respond to email support. Thank God I never stored anything on their cloud. I only used their app and website to log on to my Seagate network drive to remotely access my files and share files with friends. I’m surprised they have a website up just to scam people.

Unreliable
I have used for several years. At first it was great. But- the past year or so it has become VERY unreliable. At times doesn't recognize my drive, slow to retrieve files, and recently the logon failed. UPDATE-Dec 2017. Cannot access my files. I have a Pogoplug device with storage attached. Support keeps referring me to their help data base. I have had these issues before-it’s on their end. I pay for this service. Going to cancel and find a more reliable service.

Not really working ;( scam. Don’t use
UPDATE*****
I bought a physical hardware device back in about 2009 then bought a Lifetime Unlimited Cloud storage plan. I’ve had troubles ever since PogoPlug switched to software/Cloud based storage. Only small pieces of my data is there. The company keeps telling me I need to subscribe even though I bought a lifetime unlimited plan. Cost a lot too. Can’t access my pics. 3/4 of my stuff isn’t showing up. I can only log in occasionally. I can’t recommend this company, nor this app. I think it’s a scam. Don’t use it. You’ll be sorry like I am

I was hoping the reviews were wrong however they seem to be right. The app doesnt seem to work very well and when it does, it is VERY slow. I have my Pogoplug box hard wired to a T1 connection. I am trying to view small Jpegs but it either takes forever to display or I get a connection error. I have tried viewing on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1 & 2 also on my Pc and MacBook pro. Not a lot of luck. Great idea tho. I hope the developers fix all this soon. It would be a great device. Also none of the people I have shared files, pics, or movies with have been able to view ANY of the files. Sad. Please fix and I'll change my rating. Only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 is a few times I did get it to work and it was great, slow still, but great. A Lot of potential!!! But not there yet

Pogoplug access stopped working
I have Pogoplug 4s that I have been using for years to back up our iPhone photos. Other than the irritating occasional Pogoplug service interruptions (or worn out USB hard drives) the devices have worked very well. A couple of days ago I have been unable to access content through any of the three Pogoplug 4 devices.

Works sometimes.
User since around 2013.
Used to work. Agree with many other comments that reliability and functionality has actually declined over the years.
Just removed the "free" cloud storage. Okay. Fine.
However, I bought a PogoPlug unit and expect that to work as it was described. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. File access is slow and unreliable. Currently locked out because the software isn't recognizing my password. Frustrating.
