Instruction: Answer the given question by extracting information from the supporting document.

Input:
Question: One of reviewers was saying that WIFISD does not work while charging. QUOTE Now the bad news.1. Won't work while charging. UNQUOTE Is the above statement correct?
Document: 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.
I suspect it is the former.If you can live with those issues then this is the unit for you.EDIT: I need to clarify the "Won't work while charging." It appears that I was mistaken and it doesn't actually shut off. However, plugging it into a charger doesn't let it work continuously. It will not charge faster than it discharges during use.
I wouldn't do it more than once, though.The second bit of disappointment isn't Macally's fault. My iTunes library is almost 1TB and I had considered using this enclosure with a 1TB drive as my iTunes drive. That idea works OK with my Macbook Pro, but it won't work with my iPhone or iPad because of the way iTunes stores files on the i-devices. So instead I have two folders on this drive. One contains my favorite MP3s and the other movies that do not have DRM. This format works with the i-devices using the Macally iOS app.
I had three bits of disappointment with this enclosure. I give the enclosure four stars because it does work the way it is supposed to per their documentation. I can't give it five stars without some improvements.The first disappointment was expected based on other reviews. The enclosure is not made to be reopened. However, the first enclosure I received would not charge. After talking to Macally Technical and Customer support I returned the enclosure and received a new one, which works perfectly. But most important, since I wanted to remove my drive before returning the enclosure, I found that if you are careful you can open the enclosure without breaking it!
working perfect connect very fast after I install HD 2.5 1 T But lacking media application .I can't make XBMC to reconize the fifidisk
This drive is excellent it does what it suppose to do. The only issue is the battery life but also it is not that bad.
Good storage solution for those without the ability of expandable memory.Liked having the capability to use both SDcards & flash drives for storage.Simple set up and connection to iPhone5 & iPad2One issue, when playing 2 different movies simultaniously, 1 - SDcard 1 - flash drive, the SDcard has ever so brief pause when reading file during playback.Small size makes easy to to take along on travels.Havent tested the battery claims, but so far works as advertised.
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.
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
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.
Answer: Works fine while plugged in.  However, I'm not sure it is actually charging while working.
