Can you still access the drive via wi-fi while charging the device?

Yes you can. I just used this device to stream video to two laptops on a coast to coast flight. When I got to the hotel I turned on my jukebox software on my lap top and played music for hours while the device was charging.

Yes but only if charging from a wall outlet as soon as its connected to a PC via USB the WiFi turns off.

No, as far as I know you have to use the app to move anything into the drive using it as a stand alone drive. I originally wanted to use it on locations and such but data transfer is slow and the interface is horrendous. I'm sticking to my laptop and cabled drives for the time being.

Hi Ryan,No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

Hi Patrick, Thank you for your interest in the SanDisk Wireless Flash Drive. You can connect the host device (your mobile phone/ tablet) to another Wi-Fi network while still being connected to the Wireless Flash Drive by configuring settings. Please see the following article for instructions: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3802/ Thank You, SanDisk Support.

Short answer - don't know. There is nothing in the documentation to indicate you can. The USB port seems to be only for extending the drive space. I would say it is not intended to be connected to a computer via USB connection. Mine is connected via the wireless network and it works fine.

Yes. When you install the Wi-Drive app and connect to the Wi-Drive with wi-fi, you can move photos, music, videos, documents, etc. back and forth between the Wi-Drive and your iPad or iPhone. The Wi-Drive is essentially a back door into your iPad/iPhone bypassing iTunes and Apple's "our way or the highway" approach in designing their gear. The Wi-Drive creates its own memory partition on the iPad/iPhone that is accessed via the app. Its one of the handiest gadgets I've ever owned. Take that, Steve Jobs, wherever you languish now!

Presently I have a drive connected to it as a backup device for my laptop. Temporarily. However it is mostly used to check drives and retrieve data.

No. You can unplug the drive and put it anywhere a USB port exists. This could be a USB port connected to a router or a router with USB ports. In Windows, you will still need to see the drive, whether as a local drive (My Computer) or a shared network drive (My Network). However, to upgrade the system updates, you need to be connected to a computer.

I've never tried to do that. but I don't think so. When plugged in it is listed a mass storage device. Never seen that option before.

This drive is Bluetooth, so it does not require a wireless network. You need to turn on Bluetooth on your iPad but it should work anywhere.

The interface operates through your browser using the seagate platform as a closed wireless network. I would assume that any apps that require connecting outside this network wouldn't work. But I'm not really sure.

Yes! It is Wi-Fi enabled and you can transfer the files via wi-fi either from your home network or from a remote place with Internet access!

Hi, unless you connect the drive using a usb cable you will need wifi connection to use the drive. The drive itself provides wifi connection as it is a router. You of course will not have Internet access but will be able to transfer files and play media unless and existing Internet connection is active to a. ccess both the drive and Internet

You could try that out (as I haven't). But I would use one of the computer's USB connectors to access the docked hard drive.

I love this drive. I'm about to get another. Yes, it can be connected via USB to your wireless network and accessed by multiple computers that way. Hopefully that answers your question.

No internal capacity. A USB drive can be attached directly or storage can be accessed via WiFi.
