Can my son use this to transfer a pages file to a school PC for editing and printing? In other words, does it work like a typical flash drive?

Yes, it functions like a typical flash drive when plugged into the computer.

Yes, it basically is a regular flash drive with the option of wifi. So if your son had a file on a tablet that doesn't have a usb connection, he can transfer the file onto the sandisk wirelessly, then just plug it into his laptop usb and transfer the file like a regular usb flash drive. Or vice a versa- plug the sandisk into his laptop usb, copy his file just like a regular flash drive, then Wirelessly, by wifi,transfer it to your tablet

Yes. It works as a typical usb drive. Not to be confused with a hard drive.

Just use the provided USB cable and connect it to any PC, ( Mac too , i believe ),... and it would work like a regular flash drive, browse the folders till you find the desired video. Usually my videos are time coded, so i know what video is that im looking for. You can time code your videos on your settings menu.

You can use it as any USB flash drive with capacity limited to what you have as card attached to it. I use it for movie library during travel time and my personal portfolio library...Consider it as your wireless hard drive on the go!

Yes, the flashdrive itself works fine! Just be aware that it is NOT the genuine item, is a slightly different toy, and does not come with the programming that the original does, but for just something to move files around on it works great.

Supposedly yes. I believe the instructions seem to indicate it should work. But even with a 2GB thumb drive, access was unreliable and excruciatingly SLOW! I cannot imagine a real-life use for that feature. It also shares only *known* file types. You get a web page interface to share files like images, documents, and a few others. You cannot share all file types. The interface often fails to find files that were seen only seconds later. It is a COMPLETE FAILURE as far as I'm concerned!

It is a thumdrive (flash drive) and works in any application. You can save your document or data into it irrespective of application such as open office or microsoft office document

this is just a flash drive, even though a very large one. I would think your current computer needs a more capacity, like a 1 TB external drive...

I'm sorry, I don't know. I just use it for basic copying and printing, which it does well. Good luck!

Yes, Kevin... It is a plug & play device. It comes with its own USB cable, so all you have to do is plug it into the USB port of your computer and drag and drop files from one to the other. Best, Gene

No, I purchased this unit for that purpose and it didn't work. I could see and read files from the USB drive but could not save files to the drive. The problem seemed to be that it was so slow the write failed due to time out, not permissions.

It depends on the size of the file. These flash drives are garbage. They are only like 8gb. After that it will start to overwright all your files and you will loose everything. False advertising at its finest!

HI .... I only had this unit for a short time, and then returned it! I don't believe it had a "Flash Drive" - Capability. ............. Regards, JCN.

I use PC's and my son uses a MAC and he had no problem with it when I download photos on the flash drive and give it to him. Good luck

I've never used this adapter for anything other than a flash drive but going along with the answer below. Pose this same question on your home page and you'll see quite a few pros and cons.

I have not experienced any issues with the documents and mp3s that I have stored on the device. Unfortunately, I can not address your inquiry as it pertains to photo images. If your PC is currently using the USB 2.0 ports, this drive should be backwards compatible (being a 3.0 device) with it. However, the data transfer rates will be restricted by the speed of the 2.0 port.

NO: it is good for file tranfer.. just as you would use a low cpu NAS, for file transfer only. It is still cheaper just to buy a flash thumb drive to save files..It is not made to be a computer..
