Product snapshot
Flexihub is a USB networking utility created by Electronic Team, Inc. It lets you share, access, and manage USB peripherals attached to one computer from another machine over a LAN or the internet. The application creates virtual USB connections so devices appear locally on remote systems, enabling centralized control and remote access without complex hardware changes.
Core capabilities
- Cross-platform support: use the same USB peripherals across different operating systems that have the client installed.
- Driver-free operation for most devices: many USB devices work without installing extra drivers on the client.
- Virtual USB ports: devices shared by one machine are exposed to others as if they were plugged in locally.
- Remote sharing via cloud or local network: connect over an internal network or through Flexihub’s cloud infrastructure for access from anywhere.
Performance and security
Flexihub routes traffic through its USB Redirector server to establish connections with minimal configuration. It applies data compression to improve throughput and reduce latency for bandwidth-heavy devices. Communications are secured with 2048-bit SSL encryption, protecting data in transit between endpoints.
How to start using it
- Create an account on the Flexihub website.
- Install the Flexihub client on each computer or device you want to connect.
- Sign into the client with your account and attach the USB peripherals you want to share.
- Connect to available shared devices from other signed-in machines and use them as if they were locally attached.
A useful convenience is the ability to generate login tokens. Share a token with another person to grant them access to your shared device(s) without revealing your account password.
Pricing considerations and limits
Flexihub is distributed through tiered subscription plans and usually offers a free trial so you can evaluate features before committing. Note that the maximum number of simultaneous connections and how many guest invitations you can issue depends on the subscription level. If you need many concurrent links, costs can rise significantly.
Pros and cons — brief summary
- Pros: simple setup, reliable remote device access, strong encryption, cross-platform compatibility, works without extra drivers for many peripherals.
- Cons: subscription-based pricing (can be costly for many connections), connection limits tied to plan.
Conclusion
For users who need to centralize or remotely manage USB devices across multiple machines, Flexihub provides a straightforward solution that balances ease of use, performance optimizations, and security. It’s a practical choice when local wireless implementations aren’t sufficient or when remote access from outside a LAN is required.
