I bought the device so that I could make more space on my Ipad or Iphone. How do I transfer media files from my ipad or iphone to the SD card?

The instruction sheet directs you to download a free app "FTPManager Free". Procedure roughly is 1. Turn on EasyAcc & turn on wifi 2. on your iPad, go to Settings\Wifi and select EasyAcc as your wifi connection. 2. open FTP Manager Free, login in (default username and password are admin). 4. access your SD Card/Portable HD. I have used mine for accessing Excel spreadsheets, movies (when over 1GB, they will take a while to download). Works well.

Yes. I use this with great results with both my iPad 3 and iPad Air (using the Apple Lightning to 30-pin adapter) with either an SD card or USB cable. I prefer connecting the camera via USB cable rather than constantly removing the SD card. Just make sure the switch on the Reader is set to the correct input (card or USB). Then connect cable to camera and turn it on; connect cable to iPAD and navigate to Photos App to view and select photos for transfer and/or deletion. Any photos can be transferred using SD card, also, even those transferred from computer rather than camera, as long as they are named using the DCIM format (i.e., rename a computer-stored photo from "my car.jpg" to "DSCF0269.jpg".

I don't know, I was using it to transfer photos and it didn't do that very well because of the atrocious file structure on Apple devices.

Well I tried the SD Card reader and I was only able to import photos. The iPad does not have this. You can copy the files to the iCloud then to the SD card.

From SanDisk Support: Hello Mr. Easton, It is a very quick and simple process. 1) There are Apps for iPad, iPhone and Androids that allows you to transfer photos, videos to/from your mobile device to the drive's internal memory or to an SD card in the drive. 2) All you have to do is turn the drive ON, launch the app, select the photos and then hit copy to Drive button. Here are some helpful links: http://www.sandisk.com/products/wireless/media-drive/ http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12895 http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12894

Good question, Clyde. I'd like to know as well. I think that it will work, but I'm also curious if anyone knows if if apple pages/numbers/keynote docs will work? They're not listed as supported file types, but I'm wondering if that's just in regards to viewing them within the kingston app, if you can still transfer the files back and forth through the app or through the iDevice browser or if it won't allow it at all?

No unfortunately your only option is to buy a 64gb ipad...there is no option to add an external hd

This will not connect directly to an Ipad. You will need to add a standard USB connection to the proprietary connection of your Ipad. If you simply want to transfer SD card info to/from device there are a lot of better options

I had create another folder to put them in and then attached it to mt shuffle, but it think it will go on to the iPad in the same way

You can. Then you will have your documents in the MediaShair app. What I miss is the chance to "OPEN IN" those documents in different apps like Adobe Acrobat, once you have them in your iPad.

Dear M Brown, I don't think iPad let's you do this, unfortunately. They want you to spent more money and get one with bigger storage, but may be I just have not figured it out yet.

Use something like Dropbox to transfer the files instead of looking for a reader. The iPhone 5 series doesn't generate the power needed to drive this adaptor. It does work fine with an iPad mini and other iPads, but they can generate the power needed to drive the device.

No, nothing will do that. It isn't a capability of the iOS. The only way to transfer files is via services like Deopbox.

Yes you can i've just purchased a 64gb sdcard i use it to transfer movies as well as documents but make sure you get a usb with a slot for the sdcard i found using the sd card in a usb plays alot of your movie files opposed to inserting the sd to the into the tablet

Sadly, this is not possible and I have tried this in the tablet and also researched it. Some apps can be moved (rarely) to the INTERNAL SD Card storage but NOT the external SD card storage. The purpose for an external SD card is for one's personal files, photos, music. However, there is great news! The first time that you use your camera on a new Android device, you will be asked if you want to save all of your pictures and videos you take on to your external SD card. Be sure and answer YES because picture files and home video files can be large and it is better to use your removable SD card for that.

You need app like Astro File Manager or ES File Explorer (i recommend Astro) and explore the contents of External Card. There is build in application in this tablet that enable you to transfer from internal to SD or vice versa.. That app is for transfer only.

This is a memory drive that stores files but I do not think that it adds any memory to your iPad. You can by memory from iCloud then transfer things like your photos to that and perhaps free up some memory for your apps.
