Smart Personal Cloud¹.

Smart Personal Cloud (SPC)¹ is a server designed for individuals, families and small businesses (approximately 10 users) to store and classify digital content.

In SPC, the digital content does not only include files, but any information, not necessarily related to files (for example, passwords, personal notes, etc..).

With the help of SkanApp² for Android, which can scan 400 pages in 10 minutes (books, documents, photos, etc..), you can easily turn SPC into a specialized database for yourself and/or groups of people with special interests.

The value of such database can be quickly increased by allowing others, whom you can invite as guests or users (with permissions given on individual basis), to enrich it with their own files and data.

Whether you use it as specialized database or as a home center to playback music and videos on a TV, attached to it, SPC will bring you joy, and, as Bill Gates once said, the “information at your fingertips”.

¹SPC is a software⁴ for Raspberry PI 4 computers⁵. It is implemented as a turnkey Cloud and can work without the Internet. It runs on Ubuntu OS (headless⁶ server), and can be upgraded⁷ to a more powerful hardware or moved to Amazon Cloud (AWS), if needed.

²SkanApp is a high-speed scanning app for Android, utilizing both traditional and unique³ control methods.

³AR (Augmented Reality), physical (Volume +/-) and headphones media buttons, as well as Bluetooth and timer.

⁴SPC software is sold on a SanDisk SD Card (64GB or 400GB).

⁵Raspberry PI 4 computers are sold without the case. For silent, 24/7 operation, we recommend the FLIRC case.

⁶Can work without a monitor, keyboard or mouse.

²SkanApp – Augmented Reality document scanning app for Android OS (KitKat and above) is available here or on Google Play Store.
³To simplify search, such as searching by date or number range, or selecting predefined list options instead of typing the values, the categories are one of the following types:

• Date, formatted for the currently selected language.
• Tag – just a name, no value (i.e. Important, Pending, etc..).
• Text – for full text search.
• Single Choice List – Radio Buttons.
• Multiple Choice List – Check Boxes.
• Boolean, (i.e. Yes/No, Paid/Unpaid, etc..)
• Money with multiple formatting options (160 currencies) regardless of the phones Locale setting.
• Number – Integer
• Number – Decimal with both comma and period decimal point options.

⁴Both Categories and files are independently assigned Privacy Attribute that determines who would be able to see and use them. The value is either you, all users or one or more User Groups. The User Groups have their own Privacy Attribute.
⁵256GB SanDisk Ultra Plus microSDXC UHS-I A1 V10 card.
⁶Once connected to the server, you can add more users and email them their login credentials for remote access over Internet. Since they do not have access to your Wi-Fi network, steps 3-6 are not necessary. Instead, they tap the “+” button on the right of the Gear button and paste their credentials.
⁷The first user becomes the Administrator, who can add/modify Categories and add Users with custom permissions to access and use the database.
