Conclusion: We're mixed

The iTwin may look like a Flash drive, but it's actually a networking tool designed to let you set up a secure connection between two computers over the internet, so that you can, for example, exchange files between your desktop and laptop. Yes, you can do the same thing for free with Dropbox, Google Drive, Windows Live Mesh, or a VPN. But iTwin is designed to be simple, secure, and private, and includes built-in safeguards that allow you to disable a lost unit. If you're comfortable using a cloud-based service like Dropbox, or configuring Live Mesh or a VPN to share files among multiple machines, you probably don't need iTwin. But you probably know someone who does.

iTwin is a pair of USB keys that turns your computer into a server and VPN, letting you access sensitive data securely from a remote machine. Its end-to-end encryption is much more secure than a cloud solution, and $99 is a great price.

iTwin is one of those devices that does one thing, and does it well. It's a good way to access files remotely and securely, especially if you don't want to throw them up into the cloud.

It connects two PCs over the web securely, irrespective of their position in the real, living, breathing world. However, the fairly high price and functional limitations of the technology limit its appeal. If security is a key concern, the iTwin has what you need.

iTwin has secure end to end encryption and no other fees once the device has been purchased. The only downfall with the iTwin is that you can only connect two online computers at one time and not more.
