Question: HI, does Macally WIFISD create it's own wifi frequency to communicate with iPad? That is, if I am in a place with NO WI-FI, can the two communicate?
Document: 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.
The enclosure is of reasonable quality, although the thick white plastic and imprecise alignments make it look and feel cheap ... definitely not svelt at all. It looks like it belongs on a teenagers desk next to an old iMac. My main complaint is that the software to access the HDD through Wifi is half-baked. The manual doesn't explain the entire setup process and there's nothing I can find on the MacAlly website. The parts that are there are helpful, but in somewhat broken english. I've only tried this on my MacBook Pro so far.
But my disappointment is that an ethernet connection should be faster than the USB 3.0 one for transferring files. However, the ethernet port can't be used for transferring files. The drive does not operate as a NAS drive while connected this way. This isn't really surprising considering the price.One comment on the provided Mac app. When I first installed the app on my Macbook Pro, the app would not connect to the drive. After some major frustration I discovered the problem (not documented) was that my Macbook Pro was ethernet attached to my home network, and I could not have both that connection and the Macally drive connected via WiFi at the same time.
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.
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.
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!
I was expecting to do Time machine backup via wifi but it wasnt the case.The gui for file storage isn't impressive and not easy to see.
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.
Disconnecting the ethernet cable from my laptop solved this problem. Since I use the drive for my i-devices this isn't a problem for me. The app is used to customize the drives WiFi settings and that is all I have used it for.
In terms of WiFi performance, I can connect any of my devices to it automatically and it works great as a WiFi hub. I've tried streaming movies through it and it seems to work fine for that also, but that's not really what I bought it for. Despite other reviews here I'm beyond pleased with this device, the instructions that came with it are clear and easy to follow, and the software that it uses for Android, works great as well. I haven't really explored all of its other features yet either because it's doing all that I asked of it as is.
Answer: Yes, the WifiSD creates it's own private SSID and doesn't require connecting to an existing wireless network. (Although it is possible to tell the WifiSD to connect to an existing wifi network so that you could access it from your device while continuing to have Internet access as well. I've never quite gotten that feature working for me but it wasn't a primary use case for me so I didn't try very hard.
