Streamnation as the name implies is perfectly optimized for streaming video and photo over the internet, and also has a clever sharing policy whereby you can loan out the individual video clips including TV episodes or movies where as in the past, sharing media with friends and family meant physically pulling out the photo albums or having to meet up in order to swap a DVD or video, but now this problem is perfectly solved by Streamnation which is a  simple way of storing, streaming and sharing media online. It is simple enough to use for anyone used to the likes of SkyDrive, iCloud or other online backup services, but it’s geared very much towards the media lovers all across the globe. The simplest way to do this is by downloading the Streamnation up loader app for Windows or Mac. This allows you to monitor specific folders, services (such as Picasa) and external drives on your computer for media, with any changes being synchronized to the cloud. It also allows uploading files on an ad-hoc basis, which probably works best for those restricted to free accounts. Media is uploaded into one of three libraries: Photos and Videos covers personal media, while Movies and TV Shows are self-explanatory. The media files can be further organized into collections, letting you keep your comedies away from your dramas, or differentiating one set of holiday snaps from another, for instance. It sets itself apart is in the way it allows you to share your media with others. The idea is that you "lend" specific videos to friends and family in lieu of sharing DVDs. Each person has their own account, and then links up with everybody else to make sharing easy. To avoid the thorny issue of legality, there are strict limits to what you can and can’t do with it. First, you can’t share your media with the wider public which means only specific contacts within your own Streamnation accounts can access it. This service comes with 2GB free online storage, with the option of building up to 15GB free space in total. You also get the option of paying$4 per month for 100GB. The iOS app enables you to access and watch your own content as you would have expected. It also lets you download content to your iPad or iPhone for offline viewing, plus upload content already on your device into your cloud account. At the same time, it allows you to manage and share your own content with others, plus borrow from your friends. Streamnation also supports AirPlay, allowing you to project a video from your iPad back on to the big screen very easily. Streamnation works perfectly and it has simplified the task of getting media. But one minor niggle is the lack of support for background uploading and downloading, but if you are looking for a secure way of streaming content between yourself and your friends, Streamnation looks like the best option available in the market. So, it is easy to use and works like a charm and this app makes accessing your Streamnation media collection a pleasurable experience on the iPhone and iPad. It can be said as one of the best tool for streaming video and photo over the internet and among your friends or family members.
