can data be downloaded remotely through WIFI?

unfortunately not. You have to hook it up via the provided usb cable to a computer to do the download.

Not with this model, you have to unplug and connect it to a computer, and only with the computer that has the software. Hope that helps!

My model has to be plugged into a USB port. You might be able to access data remotely if unit is plugged into a router, and unit software is on the remote computer.

Yes, you can access the files using the same IP Address method you would with mobile devices. However, it would typically make more sense to plug the dive into your laptop to play the files. It is an external hard drive remember. But I guess if you had multiple laptops to share it with at one time the wifi mode would be best.

This device can offer SMB service, just as what is used on MS Windows to share files, you can read any type of data through WiFi. The transportation is not fast in my network.

This is not a wireless system, so no wifi is needed. And you can setup the system without internet, thanks.

Yes but only if there is a second WIFI signal that has the internet. What happens is you connect to the drives WIFI and then you can tell the drive to connect to the Second WIFI that has the internet. The drive then acts a bridge between the two WIFI networks and allows you to browse and stream your media as well as surf the web.

Yes you can use it without Internet but you lose the remote capabilities. It would act as a programmable thermostat.

As much as I understand, there should not be any problem, using you dropbox files. I basically just transfer files/folders between my desktop and lacie 5big pro, using wifi.

Yes. Access anything you want thru WIFI as well. Games and music without WIFI.

Yes, but the internet connection must be made with your cellular data connection.

No it can't be used to download pictures off the iPad, only import them into the iPad. I too wish there was someway to do that without wifi!

Ram? You can not, Disk? A SD card or a USB stick will suffice but also, as it's wifi, you can connect it wirelessly to computers, hard disk and other mobile phones.

Heck if I know. Seems kinda long run. That's what the wifi is for. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm not too savvy on this technology.

I'm not sure if wifi is required (as it is on disk you wouldn't need it) but it does take a long time to download, around one to two hours.

depends, if used on a windows system, yes. if you use a linux distro, you could turn the system into an access point with this device and receive wifi clients (and if that box has Internet on another network device, pass it through this device).

I have not done this BUT, according to the setup manual:"...You will be able to access files from a USB externalhard drive or thumb drive that is plugged into the router from your local network or from the Internet using either a webbrowser or an app for your smartphone or tablet..." so I don't why the other two respondeers said no to you.

It doesn't have WiFi build in. Its compatible at least with windows. In any case you always can extract the SD card and read it directly

yes you can but why would you?it is much slower then copy via USB and it will slow down all other connection on wi/fi from your laptop.for example your browser connected to internet will became sluggish.
