It's my understanding you can do the following with one of these flash drives? Example, browse for such files as zip? Example: use the app to browse for a file called The Case of the Counterfeit Eye.zip. Doubletap and hold on the file and get a menu like: dismiss pop up AirDrop Button Mail

I’m actually trying to find a way to put files from other book sources in Voice Dream Reader anyway so this is almost what I’m after too in a roundabout way. Lol. I love voice Dream, and want to get some files converted over and put there to read with too. The drives might help but I’m still

Hi Neal, When you plug the drive into a PC it acts like any USB drive, you can open it in Windows Explorer, see all the folders and just copy and paste files to these folders. However, when you plug the drive into an iOS device it requires an app which is basically a file browser which also

Works like a modified version of Dropbox, for the usb/lightening device. I used to use Phonedrive and something like it which was an app that packed all the files into it's own data space. Ubidisk was the other, can't remember how I got the data into it though. But both allowed you to interact

There may be some confusion here. If they can only be used in the app you are using when you store files on them, how then, can they transfer information either to or from your desktop or laptop computer? Thanks Neal -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

Added to this, they are, as suggested, dependent on the app to go with them. But there are cheaper ones out there, but those depend on the app of a mainstream model. The main stream producers are wising up to this and locking their app to only work with their own devices. I know this, I

They can be used with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Here are the Supported File Formats. I'm thinking this is a way of bypassing the use of itunes to transfer content to your ios device. .mp4,.m4v, .mpv, .mov; .mpg, .mkv, .wmv, .flv, .3gp, .gif . wav, .aac, .aif, .aiff, .caf, .m4a, .mp3 .jpg,

In my case, It sure is tempting! It would make it a lot easier to transfer content to my ios device instead of trying to deal with using file sharing with itunes 12.3. -Original Message- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2015 1:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com

They are special USB drives which usually have a regular USB plug on one end so you can plug it into a computer and on the other side they have a Lightning connector to plug into your iPhone. You can put anything you want on them, music, movies, pictures, documents etc. The issue is that for
