Mama Peach, what excellent instructions and thanks for this tutorial on setting up Tonido. Have you considered a job writing app documentation?
I'm going to love using this app. Alan Lemly -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MamaPeach Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2013 12:04 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Tonidos - Voiceover Compatible Remote Access Use these instructions for setting up Tonido: First and foremost, you need to download the Tonido Desktop.exe file from the Tonido website. Be sure you choose the file that is appropriate for your operating system. It is best to use Internet Explorer for this. If you are wanting to access your main computer, you must install this file to that computer. Tonido's download page is: http://www.tonido.com/application_download.html Once you have this file downloaded, you of course have to install it. Once installed, you must launch the file in order to create your new account with Tonido. Please note that once installed, the Tonido Desktop file is set to run in your system tray, so there is no need to activate it from the actual .exe file, unless you have shut it off and want to turn it back on. Then simply activate it from the icon that hopefully you told it to place on your desktop. Once launched, you will be prompted to create your new account. In the first edit field, you must provide your chosen account name. Below this is a link where you can check to make sure your chosen account name is available to use. Check this by simply arrowing down once. It will most likely tell you that it is available, unless of course someone else has chosen that same name. If it is taken, shift tab and try a different account name. Tab once. In this edit field, enter in your chosen account password. Tab again. In this edit field, reenter your chosen account password. Tab again In this edit field, enter in your preferred email address. Tab again. Make sure to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions Tab again. Click on the create button. Look down the page to make sure it has given you your URL that you will use for accessing your account through the internet or via a mobile device. This URL should look like this: http://acountname.tonidoid.com After doing this, you can close Tonido, you are done installing Tonido! Next, download the app from The Apple store to your iPod, iPad or iPhone, or any other mobile device that the Tonido page says it supports. Once downloaded, double tap the app to open it. To add your new acount, double tap on the add button in the top left hand corner. There are three edit fields here. The first edit field has a URL in it. Double tap on this edit field to edit this URL and make sure you are at the end of the edit field. The http:// will remain in the edit field. All you need to type into this field is your chosen account name and then the tonidoid.com. So it should look like this in the first edit field. http://accountname.tonidoid.com Then Flick to the next edit field which should now show your user name already there. If not, double tap to activate this edit field and enter in your account name only. Flick to the next edit field. Double tap to activate. Enter your account password. Flick to the okay button and double tap to activate it. Once this is done, you should have full access to your computer and all external drives hooked up to your machine. If you don't want all folders and drives to show, open the Tonido in your system tray. Enter your password. Once the Tonido page has loaded, click on Tools. Then click on Settings. After clicking on Settings, shift tab once Then arrow down until you find the buttons, which are: General, Account, Network, Misc, Log and About. Click on the Miscellanious button. After clicking on the Miscellanious button, go down the page until you find where it says: Add allowed folder button. Click on this button Arrow down several times to find the edit field to type in your drive letter. type in something like this G:\ H:\ i:\ j:\ or whatever drive letter you want access to along with a colon and a backslash. Click on the Add button Arrow up and find where it says Enable access to only selected folders Make sure this is checked Now you will have access to just the drives you added instead of your whole entire computer. I hope these directions have helped in some way. It seems intimidating but it is actually very easy to set up and once set up, it is so awesome to be able to access your own music, photos and other stuff from your iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android, Blackberry, etc. Why load your device up with music when you have full access to your own stuff and it won't eat up space on your phone. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Lemly Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2013 12:16 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Tonidos - Voiceover Compatible Remote Access Tonido sounds like just what I would use. I'm not a huge fan of uploading a lot of files to a cloud-based service but it would be very nice to have mobile access to my home files. I've downloaded the Windows Tonido Lite Desktop program but have yet to install it. Do you set up your Tonido account with the desktop program? I could find no place to set up your account on the Tonido website. Thanks for any assistance.

Tonido is an accessible and free way to move and share files, which is voiceover compatible for Mac OS X and the iPhone. The macintosh client resides in the menubar, but the iPhone app is where the benefits of this app are seen. The iPhone app recognizes my entire computer and allows me to access external drives also. The web site is accessible and making an account took me less than 5 minutes. The iPhone client will prompt you for the account credentials and a specific URL, which is necessary to view your computer. Please note that the URL is going to take the form of http://username.tonidoid.com. This will need to be entered into the URL section when logging into your account from the iPhone. (This URL can just be copied from the Tonido support e-mail you will receive after an account has been created). If you Google "tondo" it will be the first link in the results section. Hope this has been helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com.
