    Step 4

    Connected - direct and encrypted

    Awacino finds the direct path and gives your phone a SituIP, a real address inside your home network.

  5. Copy the photos home
    Step 5

    Copy the photos home

    Open the storage drive as you would at home and copy the photos. They travel directly between your devices, not through a cloud.
