Question: How can I use this to get internet access on Ipads during a car trip for children?
Document: You have to download an app from the Macally website to access the harddrive. It will not mount via wifi in Finder ... you have to start the app, login to the drive, then access it through Safari, all of which is slow. I've not been able to get the internet passthrough working with my airport express. It appears that only way to use this drive through wifi is to connect to the hotspot it creates, then, if you can get it working, you can connect the device to a wireless or wired router to get passthough to the internet.
The Good,It works and works very well! I put a 128gig SSD in it and boy is it fast. Works with Apple products through an App, but you can't access the files outside of the app?!?!?!. Not even the music.You can pass through to your WAP and it supplies internet and the storage, PERFECT.The device is fantastic and runs a long time on battery. The only negative is Apple and their damned locked down devices. My iPads can't really utilize much of it when disconnected.
I don't store documents on this drive because I find that the cloud (I use a few but primarily Dropbox) works for that purpose.The last bit of disappointment is the ethernet port. It would be nice if this port had some real use. However, it serves one purpose and that is to use the enclosure as a Wifi hot spot. You connect the ethernet port to whatever Internet access you have, say in your hotel room when traveling, and you now have a hotspot. Since I already use my iPhone as a hot spot when I travel, primarily to avoid the ridiculous rates hotels charge, I don't see the purpose.
The Wi-Fi enclosure worked as described and was well made. I added a 2.5&#34; laptop drive, downloaded the Android app and was able to access and watch media stored on the enclosure. The only &#34;problem&#34; with the enclosure is that once you snap the cover on it is very difficult to remove it without damaging the enclosure. So in effect you can't easily change the hard drive. That is because the snaps are designed to seal the enclosure permanently.Wha I did to get around this &#34;problem&#34; was to cut the enclosure cover just beyond the first side snaps from the front, about 1 1/2&#34; from the front.
I suspect the wifistor app is just a front end for SMB and http or webdav. GREAT plus. I would have bought it sooner if I had known that.USB devices and SD cards can be removed and added without restarting. Supports both USB and SD cards at the same time. Does charge devices via microsd, but we don't use that function.Now the bad news.1. Won't work while charging. This killed it for us during long car trips. We need to leave it plugged in to a power source.
We got this primarily so we didn't have to keep all of our media on our tablets and phones.The Macally wifistor app is not bad and seems to support all of the media players we use. Speed is acceptable. Usability is OK (it's not pretty).This isn't clear from the instructions (which are terse) but this does have a full SMB/CIFS/Samba server and http server built in. (Macally, if you are reading this you would sell more of these advertising this function!) You can access data on the device without the wifistor app if you want.
Purchased and worked for a day. Its an act of congress to get your harddrive out of this unit when it stopped working. I just threw away due to the plastic casing was destroyed.
I'm very dissappointed so far. I'll keep working with it since I bought it and get it working as best I can, but I definitely wouldn't purchase it again. Will update when I try to connect my iPad and iPhone to it.
well don't call customer support tech support because they barely speak English um.the software will not find my SD card and I looked at another company software intenso and yet did it was the exact same software. So I will change this bad review if they get back to me with some updated software here is my email address Jerryshawhan@frontier.com
This is a neat unit for the price. The &#34;permanent&#34; closure is the only complaint I have about it, but I don't see it as a major issue for my personal needs; others may dislike the inability to upgrade the drive without [likely] breaking the enclosure.I could see the configuration being a little over the head of less experienced users. However, it does appear that the Android and iOS apps make it fairly simple. The average user should be able to get this going without too much swearing.I did have an issue at first.
Answer: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/It's quite simple really, although necesarily intuitive.  First you need to install an app on your iPads.  When you turn on the drive it creates its own wifi network.   Set your ipad to the wifi-hd (it's just like logging on to your wifi network at home but easier because the password is 12345678).  After about 30 seconds it should connect and you can look at photos and videos.  A word of caution make sure your videos are converted to a format such as mp4 that is optimized for streaming.  Also I'm not sure if apple store content will work streaming off the drive so you might want to investigate that.  This drive works great, but if you're not sure about it go with the seagate wifi drive instead.  This particular drive requires assembly once assembled you can't take it apart without damaging it.
