Supports up to two Drobos
DroboShare can support two simultaneously connected Drobos. This means your networked storage can grow up to a theoretical 32TB on a single DroboShare since each Drobo can grow to 16TB as hard drive sizes expand. Since you're using Drobo, you can rest assured knowing your storage is not only safe, but also expandable at any time.

DroboApps—Turn Your DroboShare into a Flexible Server
DroboShare supports DroboApps, an entire world of community-created and community-supported applications that can be run on DroboShare's Linux-based operating system. What you do with them is up to you. DroboShare is a computing platform that allows you to install the applications you want. Some are simple and lightweight, some are complex and powerful. The world is your server.

Share your world. Expand what's possible. 
 
Gigabit Ethernet
Whether you're sharing video in a production studio or
streaming a high definition movie to your home media center,
the ability to share your data over a local network is critical. DroboShare is equipped with Gigabit Ethernet to meet your demanding requirements. 
  
Automatic setup—in just seconds.
Forget everything you've ever known about setting up network attached storage; DroboShare is radically simple to set up. Just plug it in. You'll wonder why you ever spent hours upon hours configuring other solutions.
 
Drobo Dashboard, the free software utility that comes with every Drobo and DroboShare, has the built-in intelligence to automatically search for every DroboShare on your network. Once it detects a DroboShare, it automatically mounts the drive and maps it to your operating system for Windows and OS X. You'll never need to worry about the hassle of creating individual volume shares, mapping IP addresses, or creating lists of extra drive letters. 
  
DroboApps are Here to Serve You
Want to do more with your DroboShare? Traditional NAS devices ship with a fixed feature set—that's like buying a computer or mobile phone that won't let you install your own applications. Drobo and DroboShare allow you to install the applications you want, when you want them. That means you can avoid the complexity of configuring applications you don't want, but you also have the flexibility to use the applications you do want.

NAS when you want it, DAS when you need it.
Why choose between the flexibility of network attached storage and the agility of direct attached storage? Demand both from your solution. Simply put your Drobo to sleep and detach it from DroboShare at anytime to take advantage of FireWire 800 or USB 2.0. Repeat the same process to put it back on your network so your files are network accessible again: simply put your Drobo to sleep and attach it to your DroboShare. Isn't it nice to have to have options? 
  
Windows, Mac and Linux
Built on Data Robotics' exclusive BeyondRAID™ technology, Drobo and DroboShare are file system and operating system agnostic. Format your Drobo NTFS (Windows), HFS Plus (Mac OS X), EXT3 (Linux) or FAT32 (Various). Connect to your DroboShare no matter which file system you've chosen from the Windows, Mac, or Linux client of your choice because DroboShare operates on the open, cross-platform SMB protocol.
