====== 2. Connect and Access Your LaCie CloudBox ======
Two key features for your LaCie CloudBox are:
  * //Centralize data//
  * //Share files//

By centralizing household files on the LaCie CloudBox, you will simplify how everyone shares and accesses documents, photos, music, and movies. Additionally, you can save storage space by keeping data on a single hard drive rather than copying the same files to multiple computers, external disks, and USB flash drives. \\ \\ 
While your LaCie CloudBox has many more features, you can begin centralizing your family's data moments after it is connected to your router. To get started, follow the directions to connect your LaCie CloudBox:
  - [[connect|Connect Your LaCie CloudBox]]

  - [[access-share|Share Files at Home]]
