That app didn't get good reviews, so I was hoping for another app. &nbsp;But, if that is all that is out there, then I will be fine with that.<br />

I'm looking to set up my HTPC as a device that can be accessed anywhere via internet connection, and more importantly, via iphone / ipad.<br />
<br />
I have been looking for a reason to get windows home server, and this may push me over the edge if it integrates better than with windows 7.<br />
<br />
Basically, I have about 2.5tb of storage on my HTPC that is full of movies, pictures, documents, etc. &nbsp;I would like them to be accessible easilly (aka, my wife can get at them) with an internet interface, and iphone / ipad app. &nbsp;The ability to stream music and movies is a plus.<br />
<br />
My HTPC is a windows 7 ultimate machine, and I'd like to move all the storage off that device to some sort of NAS on a windows home server, but, if I can do what I want with my existing setup, then that is fine also.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
