The Short Answer:
There’s a handful of differences between younity and iCloud. First, unlike iCloud, younity is not a cloud service. With a cloud service, your files are transferred and held in a “cloud” (AKA remote server) that you can then access from different devices. With younity, all of your files are kept secure and private on your own computers–younity just creates a connection to give you access to your files remotely. This means that you have remote access to all of your files without taking up any space on your mobile devices.
younity works cross-platform across Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS without any configuration or management and is totally free. We don’t require you to download files to your mobile devices. younity also allows you to play unsupported audio and video file types (e.g. .WMA files, etc.) on your iOS devices.
On the other hand there are things iCloud does that we don’t do, like calendar, contacts and bookmark syncing. There’s a lot more to it, so check out the more detailed answer below for more info.
younity makes it easy to post photos stored on your computer to Instagram. Instagram prevents users from posting directly to Instagram from their computers, so younity is the next best thing to having Instagram online. With younity you can post photos stored on your computer to Instagram using your phone. We'll explain...
younity connects your devices so you can access all of the content stored on your computers from your mobile devices. Translation: you get easy and direct access to all of your photos stored on your computer from your phone (without taking up any space on your phone). And this feature works even if you're far far away from the computer your photos are stored on.
Once you have younity set up, it's super easy to post a photo that's stored on your computer to Instagram. There's two ways to post to Instagram with younity. One way is faster, but doesn't allow you to use Instagram filters. The second way is a couple more taps, and you can have access to all of Instagram's cropping and editing features. Just follow these steps:
OPTION 1 (no access to filters):
OPTION 2 (access to filters):
With younity on Android you can also post GoPro videos to Instagram, as well as any other videos stored on your computer.

Currently younity works with Chromecast audio on iOS, and we're working on having it available on Android.
To Play Music With Chromecast Audio on iOS:
Chromecast video integration is also in the works and will be released very soon. If you have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, etc) younity will not work with Chromecast until we have in-app integration, but with Android there are several chromecast apps you can use to cast to Chromecast with younity.
To Cast to Chromecast with Android:
Option 1: Screen Cast (Android devices with Android 5.1 OS)
On Android devices with their OS updated to Android 5.1, Screen Cast is available in the Notification Shade options. This is baked into Android 5.1 and gives you the ability to cast whatever is on your screen to a Smart TV or a Chromecast device. During testing, we saw the best casting quality through this route compared to the other options.
Option 2: Google Cast
If Screen Cast is not an option because you have a Samsung phone, you can download the Google Cast app to stream to a Chromecast device. Get the Google Cast App and then:
Option 3: Third Party Apps
If Screen Cast isn’t an option because you’re on an older phone model that can’t upgrade to Android 5.1, not to worry! You still have the option of downloading a third party app to facilitate the casting from your phone to your Chromecast. The list of screen casting apps is almost endless, but for the sake of this walkthrough, we'll use AllCast:
While these options will work with younity, we agree that the best chromecast apps are ones that seamlessly integrate Chromecast, so we look forward to making Chromecast available in younity as soon as we can.

Yes, your computer has to be on and connected to internet to access your files. Your computer can be in a ""soft sleep,"" meaning it's okay if your computer is on and goes into an energy saving mode as long as it's connected to power. Just don't put your computer in sleep mode or turn it off. If your computer is off or without an internet connection then your files in the younity app will be labeled "File/device Offline."
Also, if you share something with a friend, the computer that your file is stored on must be on and connected to the internet for your friend to access the file.
No. younity will typically use about 0.1% of your computer CPU and usually uses less than 100MB of memory (although it will often report more because that is “reserved” for use if necessary). During file indexing, younity will spike your CPU to do the indexing quickly. This is generally only a short period of time and it will go back to nominal resource usage after the indexing is complete. younity typically “listens”, so you should not notice any impact to your computer’s performance at any time.
How long indexing takes is dependent on three key things:
Yes. younity “understands” both those operating systems and will unify your files across them, even though they are very different. You don’t have to do anything to make this work, just install younity on all your computers and you are set to have all your files all the time.
Yes. younity works cross-platform with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android so you can simultaneously connect both Mac and Windows computers with your Android or iOS mobile devices. You can connect multiple computers with different operating systems (unlike the Plex app), and younity will unify all of your media and files into a single organized menu.
You don’t have to do anything extra to make this work, just install younity on all your computers and you're good to go!
Visit getyounity.com to download younity on your computers or check out our quick guide on how to set up younity.
No. By default, younity will automatically scan your entire hard drive and find all the music, photos, videos, and documents on your computer.
If you would like to only scan certain folders on your computer, you have the option manually select the directories you want scanned. You might want to go this route if for example, you have all your music stored on one computer, and your entire Lightroom catalog on a different computer. If you only need access to these files and you don't want younity to scan your entire hard drive, follow these steps to select your folders:
You can learn more about the set up process and see screenshots of how to manually choose directories in our detailed younity set up guide.
No. There are no magic folders or any type of action you need to take to make sure your files are included or updated. If you edit or change a file, as long as you save the changes younity will automatically reflect your updates on all your connected devices.
No. younity will store your files in the places you put them. You don’t need to tell younity where to put things or what file types to watch. younity will always ensure that your devices all look the same, so you know where your files are regardless of which device you are using.
Yes. You can use the Search function on the main menu in the younity app to search for files across all your computers simultaneously. Additionally, each view will have a “filter” option to search for content in the specific view your are in (e.g. search for a song when viewing all your songs).
No. Remote access products like LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, or TeamViewer are generally optimized around being able to remotely control another computer. younity can not be used to control a computer, to use its applications or do anything at all on that device.
younity gives you easy access to all the files and media stored across all your computers from your mobile devices, without having to log into a computer as if you were sitting at it.

younity does not store files on your smartphone or tablet by default. When you access files on your mobile device via younity, younity streams your files directly from your computer to your mobile devices, and no files are being stored on your mobile devices by default.
However, if you’d like to download files to your mobile devices for offline access, you can do so by following these steps:
Now you can access any of these files at anytime, even if you don't have internet access. If you want to remove these files later, find the files you want tor emove, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner, tap Select, and tap the red circle next to the downloaded file.
Alternatively, you can remove all local files from your device. From the main menu tap Settings and select “Remove All Local Files”. This will only remove the downloaded files from your mobile device; it will not delete any files from your computer.
Check out our step by step directions on how to access all your music on your phone without wifi.
No. We don’t have any of your files online. Furthermore, we don’t segregate your files per computer. They are all your files, so we focus on a simple, unified user interface for you to find things faster, easier and with less friction (we hope you agree).
No, there isn't currently an option to view files according to the device they're stored on. younity unifies all your content and media libraries (e.g. iTunes catalogs, photo albums, etc.) across your computers into one organized menu. This means that you can pick up any of your devices as if they all have the same content stored on them.
So while you can't view files on a per-device basis in younity, you can search for anything across your connected devices and access it instantly. You can also filter views so that you can see only files that you’ve downloaded to local storage and/or only see files that are available (i.e. they are on a device that is online and ready to stream files).
The way younity gives you unlimited storage is that younity enables you to access all of the files on your computer (or multiple computers) from your mobile devices. Because you can access all of your files stored on your computer as if they're stored on your mobile devices, the only limits on storage are essentially the limits of the storage space on your computer.
Similar to a Plex media server or XBMC (now known as Kodi), younity is a home media server that gives you remote access to all your files and digital media stored on your computer.
You can learn more about what younity can do here:
No. younity is only indexing your documents, photos, videos and music. It does not look for file types outside those categories.
When you first install younity on your computer it starts scanning all your files to make them accessible on your mobile devices. This first scan will spike your CPU, but this is temporary and your CPU will resume to normal levels when the scan is complete.
younity and Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) are similar in that they're both media servers, but they have a wide range of differences as well. Both products provide great technologies for free, albeit for somewhat different purposes.
younity is optimized around streaming your media (music, photos, video and documents) to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, whereas Kodi is much more optimized around televisions and third party content/services. younity is vastly easier to set up, and it doesn't require any configuration to make it work or stream outside your home network. And there's no ongoing management to ensure your content is always discovered and available. younity also unifies content across multiple computers into one user interface (something other media servers like XBMC / Kodi and Plex don't do), as well as integrates and merges application libraries from products like iTunes, Apple Photos and Adobe Lightroom.
Kodi, however, is highly configurable and able to install third party services, such as games, streaming services, premium content channels and more.
Another difference is that other media servers like Plex TV and Emby are built off of Kodi's open source platform, whereas younity is a proprietary technology platform that leverages some open source technology such as ffmpeg.
We're similar to Plex in some ways, but there are quite a few differences. We think we’re better in some ways and, in all fairness, they are better in other ways.
First, we’re much easier to use. Setting up younity doesn’t require you to do anything such as create ""libraries"" or tell it where content is, nor do you have to configure your network or do anything to ensure you can access all your content no matter where you are or what network you are on.
Second, install younity on multiple computers and it will unify all your content so you don't have to switch between one computer or another.
Third, we integrate with or automatically create all your content libraries, such as iTunes, Adobe Lightroom, Apple Photos, GoPro and more.
Fourth, we’re quite a bit faster than Plex at doing most things--our file scans are quicker, our file transfers/streams are quicker, etc. Lastly, we also let you access your files/docs.
What does Plex do better? Plex currently supports more platforms--you can install a Plex media server on Ubuntu and many other Linux or NAS operating systems. We have plans to include Linux support in the future, but it's not currently available on younity.
Plex also has more options for streaming content to your TV--they have smart TV apps, Roku/Apple TV apps, etc. With younity you can cast to your TV via AirPlay and Chromecast. Plex adds missing metadata (we’re building this now) and also offers third party channels of content they call "Plex channels." We’ll be catching up later this year on most accounts, but we’ll probably never offer the third party content.
With younity you can access any photo off your computer and post it directly to Whatsapp using your phone. It's a great alternative for Whatsapp web (or Whatsapp PC) because it lets you always have access to your photos, even if you're far away from the computer they're stored on.
Once you set up younity, it's easy to access any photo to post to WhatsApp. Just follow these few steps:
You can also post your photos to Facebook Messenger, Kik, Viber, and any other messaging apps you have on your phone, like QQ Mobile, WeChat, Skype, and LINE.
In a nutshell, the term ""home media server"" can be used to describe both the hardware that stores media and the software that streams media to another device.
By its simplest definition, a media server is a device that stores and shares media. This definition is ambiguous at best, because it leaves room for several different devices and applications to be called media servers.
The hardware component of a home media server is where the media is stored. For example, this could be a computer, network-attached storage, or a home theater PC (HTPC build). In a home setting, a media server acts as an aggregator of information: video, audio, photos, books, etc. These different types of media (whether they originated on DVD, CD, digital camera, or in physical form) are stored on the media server's hard drive.
The software component of home media servers are applications that allow users to access digital media remotely via the internet. Basically, these applications deliver a user's media where they want it--a mobile phone, tablet, TV, or other computer. Media servers are super useful if you have a large collection of music, videos, or photos (or all three) you want to access when you're not at home. Media servers also come in handy because they enable you to always have access to your digital media, without storing it on a device with limited storage, like your smartphone or tablet.
There's a handful of top media server applications and they have different benefits depending on what you're looking for. A few of the top media servers are: younity home media server, Plex media server on Ubuntu, and Kodi (formerly known as XBMC).
Media server applications not only give users remote access to their digital media, there's lots of other useful features as well. With younity, users can access all documents stored on their computers, access multiple computers at once, access all Lightroom catalogs, stream GoPro videos, access and share any of their media to social media or messaging apps, cast to TVs via Airplay and Chromecast, and more.
The Plex media server has third-party content available called Plex channels, an Apple TV app, and chromecast apps so you can cast your media to the big screen. Different applications excel in different areas, so the choice of a media server software really depends on an individual's needs.
DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. The Digital Living Network Alliance is a non-profit trade organisation started by a group of consumer electronics companies (led by Sony) in 2003 that defines and promotes standards for sharing digital media (like photos, video, and music) among multimedia devices. DLNA has more than 200 members responsible for more than 9,000 different DLNA devices.
It's good to note that while a lot of tech companies are members of DLNA, Apple isn't one of them. Major tech companies like Microsoft, Motorola, Samsung, and LG make products that will communicate with eachother, but Apple is not currently a member, meaning, Apple products like Airplay won't talk to DLNA.
DLNA was designed to function as a bridge between your various devices so you can watch a movie from your computer on your TV, play an MP3 from your mobile phone on your audio system, or send photos on your tablet to your wireless printer.
What are DLNA devices?
There are many types of DLNA devices. A few examples are: Windows PCs, home media servers, Android phones, tablets, wireless printers, camcorders, flat-screen TVs and routers.
There's three different DLNA device classes:
Yes, younity integrates with Apple AirPlay so you can easily push the music, videos, and photos you stream to younity right to your TV, stereo, or other AirPlay-enabled devices.
With younity and an Apple TV you can stream your whole movie collection to a TV from your iPhone or iPad. Just follow these few simple steps:
Here's a quick video tutorial:
You can also use airplay mirroring to view photos on the big screen or play music.

Apple Airplay can work fine on its own, but younity lets you do a whole lot more with AirPlay like:
Access multiple computers at once.
You can install younity on as many computers you want to access and younity will combine all the media on your computers into one easy menu on your mobile device. So you can browse all your media at once and stream those movies directly from your mobile device--even if your computers are hundreds of miles away!
Stream movies off your own computer at a friend’s house.
Say you’re visiting friends or family and there’s nothing to watch at their house. If the place in question has an Apple TV, you can stream any of your movies from your computer. And yes, even if that computer is far far away.
Travel lighter
If you like to bring your Apple TV with you on vacation or when you’re traveling, you can leave your computers at home and still stream all your movies and shows with younity and Apple TV.
Access All Your GoPro Videos
You can use younity and Airplay to stream GoPro videos to the big screen.

This depends on two things: 1) the number of files; and 2) the speed of your computer. If you have an older, slower computer, scanning your files may take longer. Likewise, if you have a lot of files, your scan will take longer. Typically, scans take several minutes, but we’ve seen people with millions of files on a slow computer take hours and hours.
When you first open younity on your phone, after having registered at least one computer, younity will download metadata about your files. The speed at which it does this depends on your mobile hardware (i.e. newer mobile devices are much faster than older devices) and the number of files you have. For example, 30,000 files worth of metadata going to an iPhone 6 will take about 1 minutes, but an iPhone 6S will take about 45 seconds. If you have over 100,000 files (only photos, videos, music and documents), it may take several minutes. After your metadata is downloaded, you will only intermittently see this message as new metadata is available. We are always working to make this faster and will continue to improve performance over time.
Your devices will not be connected if you use two separate methods for login. If you use Facebook to register a device you must use Facebook on the registration of your other devices. Alternatively, if you sign up and register your first device using email/password and then “Link” your Facebook account, from that point forward you can use either method (we will unify those contact methods on your single account).
Yes, however it is important to note that all files shared to that younity account will go to all users/devices under that account, including those users’ younity Facebook Apps. If you wish to have both your Facebook accounts on a single younity account, it is best to register the younity device using a email/password, then link the Facebook account from your Mobile device.
No. younity is installed per user. That means only the files for whichever user account is logged in during the installation will be unified to your other devices. If you wish to have younity on multiple user accounts per computer, you will need to install on each account.
younity is installed per user, so to uninstall it simply go to the Applications directory under the user account (e.g. /(yourname)/Applications) and then delete the ‘younity’ application from that directory. You can also delete the alias in the root Applications directory, but that will not remove younity from your computer.
Sharing with iOS
You can share any high-resolution photos, movies, music, or files through younity. These files cannot be downloaded by the receiver, and they can be accessed and streamed within the younity app for 7 days.
Share a file within the younity app:
1. find the file you want to share.
2. Tap the three dots in the top right-hand corner
3. Tap Select
4. Select the file(s) you want to share
5. Select the person you want to share the file with from your contacts, or type in a new email.
6. Tap Send
Share a file via email, text, or social media:
1. Navigate to the file in the younity app
2. Tap the Open In icon in the bottom right
3. Select the way you want to share the file
(you can share via text, email, and other social channels)
Sharing with Android
Currently we don’t support in-app sharing for Android, but it’s coming very soon. In the meantime, you can share files via email, text, or social media and productivity apps.
Share a file via email, text, or social media:
1. Navigate to the file in the younity app
2. Tap the Open In icon in the bottom right
3. Select the way you want to share the file
(you can share via text, email, and any social or productivity apps you have on your phone)
From the main menu, tap "Sharing," then "Files I've Shared". Here you can select any files you want to stop sharing and tap "Remove."
That likely means you have not “linked” your Facebook account to your younity account. To do so, go into the Settings menu in younity (on your mobile device), then use the “Link” option for Facebook.
No. When sharing via Facebook, your friend need only accept the younity Facebook App to securely see your shared file(s) within their browser. However, if your friend wishes to see your file on their mobile device, they will be required by Facebook to install our younity mobile app (Facebook does not allow Facebook Apps to run on the Facebook Mobile app itself).
"Since files are personal and are being streamed from your device to the location where your friend is viewing the file, we limit the amount of time your friend will have access to the file. To see how long the file will be shared for, reference files inside of the “Files you’ve shared” tab under the “Sharing” selection.
We are currently working on a new way to share files in which you can share files for a longer amount of time.
No. Files you share on Facebook are private and will not be posted to your Timeline. Once you share a file with a friend they will receive a private message inside of Facebook and will be required to accept the younity Facebook application, after which time they can view the file.
Yes, very secure. All communication and metadata transfers between your devices are done over TLS 1.2. Thus, we can't "see" file transfers at any point. Since we never have your files and don't store them online, we can't access your files (nor can we let others access them), we can't see your files or lose your files.
No, younity and Entangled Media never have access to any of your files or your devices. Your files remain on your devices and are only accessible by you.
When using younity, all of your files are kept secure and private on your own computers–younity just creates a connection to give you access to your files remotely.
No. younity never stores any of your files or file metadata whatsoever.
Unlike iCloud and Dropbox, younity is not a cloud service. With a cloud service, your files are transferred and stored in a “cloud” (AKA remote server) that you can then access from different devices. With younity, all of your files are kept secure and private on your own computers–younity just creates a connection to give you access to your files remotely.
No and we hate it when other companies do that. You are not our product. We keep as little information about you as possible. Ultimately, we hope you’ll upgrade to a premium version of younity because it is awesome and you can’t live without it. More information on our privacy policy here.
It likely means that the person who shared the file with you does not have that file online at the moment. They might have turned off their computer or lost an Internet connection.
Make sure that you registered with the same authentication process across all of your devices. If you used different methods to create an account (e.g. email/password on one device and Facebook on another), it is likely that you created two different accounts.
There's a few other possibilities why your files aren't showing up. Check out this blog post on Getting Started with younity to learn more about why your files aren't available. Or get in touch with our support team and they should be able to help you connect your devices.
younity Premium is a monthly paid subscription that gives younity users access to additional features in the younity app. Here are the features you get with younity premium:
All users are given a free 7-day trial of younity Premium, which can be initiated in-app if you attempt to use one of the Premium features (e.g. if you try to access a file on your computer when you’re on a different network). You can also start your trial manually via the Settings menu. To do this manually, open the younity app and go to Settings > Subscription. You can also use the Settings > Subscription section to upgrade to Premium manually if you previously used your free trial but did not then decide to remain Premium.
In the future, the Premium plan will be available through our website, but currently the only way to upgrade to Premium is through the app.
Over the next several months, a variety of more advanced and powerful features and products will be introduced, as well as additional options for Premium subscriptions. Stay tuned!
Remote Access: Remote access is when you want to access a file on your computer(s), but you and your mobile device are on a separate network from the computer (e.g. your computer is at home, but your smartphone is connected to your cellular network). younity makes sure you are always connected to your content, so in this case it will attempt to connect to your computer either via a peer-to-peer connection or via our encrypted “relay servers.”
Relay servers are similar to a VPN – they create an encrypted (using SSL) connection between your computer and mobile device. In many cases, peer-to-peer connections are blocked, so our relay servers provide a guarantee that you can always access your content. Because the relay servers encrypt your connections between both devices (e.g. end-to-end), they are completely secure and private – we have no idea when or who is connected via them, nor do we know anything about what is transferred over them.
Download Files: younity’s Download Files feature is more or less exactly like it sounds – you can download files from your computer to your mobile device so that you have offline access to them. Think of this as on-demand syncing of content on any of your computers to your mobile devices, even if you are on the other side of the earth from the computer they are stored on. This is particularly useful if you know you’ll be without an internet connection or simply want peace of mind that the files are locally stored on your device.
To download files: navigate to the file or music album you’d like to download; select the More icon in the upper right (three vertical dots); select the Select option; tap the bubble for each file (or the album) you want to download; lastly choose Download.
When you want to free up storage on your mobile device, you can either remove all the files at once from your mobile device or do so one at a time. To remove them all at once, simply go to Settings, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Local Files; this will remove the downloaded files from your mobile device, but not affect them at all on the computer in which they are stored. To remove them one at a time, navigate to the downloaded file, select the More icon in the upper right, tap the minus icon to the right of the file, then tap Cancel in the upper right.
High Quality Audio: High quality audio ensures that you can listen to your music in its best possible quality. Our iPhones and Android devices are only able to play certain formats of audio, however we often keep our audio in formats other than what is compatible with them (e.g. lossless audio formats). Additionally, we sometimes have very high bitrate audio, so that it sounds better on those expensive headphones or home stereo.
The High Quality Audio feature means that we only transcode your music for format, not bitrate, when you are locally accessing your music; when you remote access your music, we will transcode for format and keep the bitrate as high as possible up to 320 kilobits per second (kbps).
younity Premium will be released in August, 2016. All users (existing and new) can try Premium free for one week.
Yes! We will continue to offer a free version of younity without needing to subscribe to a Premium plan. The free version gives you unlimited access to younity when both your computer and your mobile devices are on the same network (e.g. your home network or your work network, etc.).
The Premium plan gives younity users access to additional features in the younity app such as remote access, high quality audio, and the option to download files to your mobile device for offline access.
We love free stuff as much as you do, but we’re at the point where we need create a sustainable business so we can continue to make improvements and release new products. While we’ve made major strides in functionality and features, we have a lot more to do to fully realize our vision. In this next stage of development, our mission is to make younity more powerful and intuitive, while also delivering often-requested new features.
Translation: there’s some really cool features on the horizon and we need to fund their development and build our business in order to continue to make younity better for years to come.
We’re looking forward to bringing you awesome new products and working like crazy to earn your trust, continued support, and hopefully your business. Thanks for supporting younity and helping power our product into the future!
For more info about why we’re making this change, see our CEO Erik Caso’s blog post.
Yes, we offer a one-week free trial for both new and existing users. You can start your free trial in one of two ways: 1) if you attempt to use a Premium feature (e.g. download a file to your mobile device), you’ll see a screen asking if you’d like to begin your free trial; 2) you can start your trial manually via our settings menu. To start your free trial manually, open the younity app and go to Settings > Subscription. In the future, the Premium trial will be available through our website, but currently the only way to start the trial or upgrade to Premium is through the app.
Yes, you can upgrade to Premium manually at any time after your free trial by going to Settings > Subscriptions and choosing to “Start free trial”. While this may sound confusing, the Apple App Store and Google Play Store will know that you previously used your free trial and allow you to simply upgrade immediately to Premium.
Since there will still be a free version of younity, you might not be effected by the Premium subscription depending on how and where you use younity. If you typically use younity on your local network (LAN), then you’ll still be able to use younity in this way for free (without upgrading to Premium).
When Premium is released in August, if you try to access a Premium feature then you will see a prompt inviting you to try Premium free for a one-week trial. The Premium features are Remote Access, High Quality Audio, and the option to Download Files to your mobile device for offline access.
To upgrade your account to Premium manually or start your free trial now, click here.
