@maxkolysh Actually, we're selling an adapter for your hard drive. Connect your HDD to your Internet via Lima, and it transforms into an easy-to-use, near-zero-setup Personal Cloud. The "adapter" takes care of all tech setup (cross-firewall VPN, end-to-end encryption, private/public key authentication, P2P sync, etc.)
Buyer beware: Kickstarter history and Amazon

@junesix We won't erase our Kickstarter history (we've shipped our product late). We've learned a lot the past 3 years. Now we feel it's the right time to leverage on all these learnings to launch a better, faster, more stable product.
Thanks Kristofer for the hunt!
Hey everyone!
Today is a big day for Lima.
We're launching Lima Ultra, the second version of our product.
Like Lima Original, Lima Ultra is a plug & play solution to transform any USB hard drive into a Personal Cloud. You plug it to the Internet, you plug a drive to it, and voilà!
Your content is stored at Home and made accessible from anywhere with Internet access.
Your Cloud is auto-managed, auto-repaired, auto-upgraded.
Lima Ultra is the result of all the feedback we've received on the first iteration of our product since 2013.
It includes a big hardware boost (40x more powerful, 16x faster raw transfer speed, Ultra HD video streaming) and better, faster, more stable, easier to use software.
Happy to know your thoughts!
PS: Stocks are very limited. First batch went out in 4 hours.
I'm desperate for every use case this offers 🙌plus one it doesn't - an app for my Smart TV so I can easily pull up pictures on there. Any plans for TV app support as yet?
I can already do all of this in software with Resilio Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) Not sure what this brings to the table aside from another dongle to lose.
@frassmith Compared to Resilio, Lima makes your content available even when your devices are off. It brings you the benefit of having a device always up to distribute your files. Like Resilio, the Lima apps are peer-to-peer. Unlike Resilio, files that don't fit in your computer are accessed in streaming (don't need to download them).
My KS never worked and was binned fairly quickly. Only the headphones were of any use. How is this different or better than Tonido?
Unfortunately for me, it took Lima sooo long to implement the feature I bought two of them for off Kickstarter, they are still sitting in my office desk drawer in unopened boxes 3 years later. Anyone want to buy them cheap? Hopefully this new product works out of the box and the company has learnt its lessons.
@simoncchapman my KS product worked out of the box. Had one issue with the addressed pretty quick. I have space monkey and some others I tried and tested (all about the same).
Yes I agree they mishandled the KS campaign but I think they are pretty solid know
@tomflemming I'm not affiliated with the company but I've met the guys a few months ago and the team has grown quite a lot since their Kickstarter. You've got a point, but they're now running a pretty solid business (and delivering), I guess the story is a bit different today
I bought the first lima in the kickstarter and it never worked.
Pros:The idea
Cons:It never worked
