TONIDO
What is Tonido?
Tonido is a software and service that once installed on any computer (Windows, Linux or Mac), can make files and media in that computer available anywhere through a web browser or from mobile phones (iPhone, Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone 7). It is a brand new way to access and share your files, media and other information with anyone around the world without having to upload to third-party sites first.
Access to your computer from your smart phone
With Tonido apps for iPhone/iPod/iPad, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7, we have you covered whichever mobile platform you use.
Simple User Experience - 3 Easy Steps
Tonido is easy to setup and does not require any network or router configuration to work.
- 1) Download and Install Tonido software on your computer.
- 2) Create a Tonido account. The account becomes part of the URL for your computer (http://username.tonidoid.com).
- 3) Use the new URL to remotely access or share your music, photos, calendar, files, and more from any computer or mobile phone. To share a file or folder, just select a folder or file and select "Share". Tonido creates a URL to your folder. Just send the link to others and they'll be able to see and download the file.
