Knockoff Drive: A Portable Data Storage System

Network-based data storage is popular, but the privacy and portability involved in using such services raise a serious concern to the public nowadays. To remedy these issues, we propose to design and create a private and portable storage solution on a mobile device. Due to the fact that micro computers are more portable and affordable, we chose Raspberry Pi as an example to demonstrate the idea. Knockoff Drive is a system that provides private and portable data storage service for the users. The system consists of a HTTP server, FTP server and Web interface for data access. It is not only an affordable and alternative solution to file transferring on the go, but it also increases data security and privacy.
