Tonido is a home server [1][2] NAS software. Once installed on a computer, Tonido software makes that computer's files available remotely via the internet through the web browser or through native mobile apps. No port forwarding is required, as data is transmitted through Tonido's servers. Users can switch to not using Tonido's servers by using port forwarding on their router. Tonido takes the approach of storing all user information including login credentials locally, providing login into Tonido software in the absence of internet connectivity.
In addition to remote access, Tonido provides file synchronization capability, allowing users to sync files among multiple machines with their Tonido server. This synchronization unlike other synchronization products does not store or use the Public Cloud, keeping the user files private.
