Richard and Dani,

 

I did come up with a way VDR can access files on an external thumb drive but it 
is pretty involved and is not fully accessible. It requires use of the Tonido 
service and connecting a thumb drive to a computer which is set up to use the 
Tonido service. Tonido Lite is a free download which allows you to create an 
account so all the files on your computer and any external drives attached to 
it can be accessed with your iPhone running the Tonido app. You can download 
the Tonido free cloud service from here:

 

https://www.tonido.com/tonidodesktop_downloads/

 

You can navigate to your computer's URL set up when you create your account and 
have access to the files on that computer with the Tonido app. I found the app 
not totally accessible in that when I was attempting to access one of the files 
on the thumb drive attached to my computer in order to copy it to VDR, a popup 
box which Voiceover doesn't speak was used. Somehow I managed to fumble through 
it and successfully added an htm file on that attached thumb drive to VDR where 
I read it just fine.

 

I'm not sure I'll be using this very often but it is nice to know that I can 
access my computer's files with my iPhone with Tonido. However, I find it is 
much easier just to place what I want to access in a Dropbox folder which is 
much easier to work with.

No. Because the iPhone cannot access USB drives. 

Though, there may be some that it can, I'm not aware of which ones.

Perhaps a web search?

flying.  There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies 
in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." --Douglas Adams, 
from Life, The Universe and Everything, p.59

Hi, Everyone.
The subject line says it all. It'd be great if the app could do this,
but last I knew, it couldn't. But I'm not the most in-the-know iPhone
user. *lol*

Thanks,
Dani
