Does it (or the Android app) restrict what file-types can be backed up? For example, can I back up .doc, .xls, or other Kingston office files?

File type is irrevelent to the drive. I stoped using the Voyager app and got a regular file manager app. I use it mainly for streaming music to my iPhone and android tablets using either wave or flac files and the Voyager app will not play them directly you have to download them first which defeats the streaming. So I use third party apps for the music and file managers for every thing else. For loading the drive I just use the USB cable and it becomes another drive on the computer and I can use Windows Explorer to load the drive.

No. But if all you want to do is read documents which have been produced with those programs there are programs in the Google play store which will do that. Also Office suite pro may do what you want in a compatibility way. Check them out in the play store to see.

Hi, that is what I did with my clickfree. I backed everything up in Vista and upgraded to win 8 and then restored my files. However, while I got all folders and files back, 2/3 of the files had a size of 0 bytes which means that they were lost. I still have not been able to restore those files so 2/3 of my files were permanently lost. I did have some files backed up elsewhere but I still have not recovered from that and because of that I no longer use Clickfree. I had many conversations with their technical staff and they did not know what happened in my situation and eventually refused to return my calls. I don't know if this was unique to me or a systemic problem but I don't want to be the one to figure that out. Use with extreme caution and I would back up my files with some other way such as another hard drive and if Clickfree doesn't work you haven't lost everything. Earl

It has google drive which uses google docs to create this type of file. You can save as a .doc file for compatibility with other programs.

As I remember, the owners manual does not mention those file types. I would not expect them to work.

I feel more secure with Mozy backup over my external drive backups. Plus with the Mozy App, you can access all files you backed up via their Android App, which are generally the files I may try to access when away. But, you are limited to what you back up per GB. With the PogoPlug, you are unlimited access to whatever you stream.

Yes, you can back up the applications, but why would you want to do that if you have the original software. Even if you do back up an application like MS Office you will probably have to reinstall it. I don't think it will run from the Seagate drive. At least, that's my understanding.

Yes it will backup all files. The backup software is always the problem. I have used them all, and like SyncBackup SE, FolderClone and Bounceback Professional. They each have problems however. I also like my files saved in native format, and not zipped.

Yes you can, it might take a while if you are backing up a lot of files,just be patient.

You don't need to if you have your files backed up properly offline or in Neat Cloud. It's like going wireless on your phone...do you really need a landline. It's more about getting used to the concept and not an actual need to keep hard copies.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

I'm not 100% sure but it mentions on the flyer that came you can back up media games, movies and music from PCI laptop and mobile devices. Doesn't specify game consoles per say. I have to designate my file to be sent to the J drive. Can you tell your console where to save the data to? Uses a usb connection

the files are '.jpg' which is a common format. we transfer ours with the use of a USB cord to the computer. from there, it would seem to me that it could be done as a file transfer to your phone-- but, I have not sent any to an android phone.

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port.

Hi. There are apps on the google play store that can work with Office documents, but it is an Android device, not Windows, you may be better off looking for a Windows-based device.

No. But you can work with MS Office files using number of Office-like Android apps availabe.
