Personal Cloud - getting the right one.

Hello,

I'm after a personal cloud storage system that I can access between Kenya and the UK. I'm looking at the more easy to use ones as I'm not techy (the WD my cloud). Can all personal cloud systems be accessed from anywhere in the world?

Also, can I easily move it to a new wifi connection so that my laptop can access it from different homes? (i.e. It would be in my home when I'm in the UK and at a different UK address when I am away). I also looking for Personal Cloud video to know more about it but,did not find much.

And, how easy is it to access the data from a friend's computer or smart phone?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

    I have the DLINK 340, takes upto 4 hard drives, low power and can be accessed anywhere.

    Depending on how you access the device, you may need to check your internet IP. Does it change? If yes you want use a service where it forwards your new IP so you still have access.

    Handy since switching to Vodafone Fibre which drops connections more often than a 28k modem on a noisy line.
