WI-Drive vs Cloud Storage? What can I use for my Kindle Fire? so my understanding is that WI-DRIVE can only be used if your in a WFI environment which makes me wonder why not just put your videos on the cloud vs having to lug this thing around?

He had three iPads and was on a trip with all three runing watching differnet moves. As I understand it this will only work on iPads and Kindle Fires. No hotspot need for wifi need because this is a wifi memory drive. No phone support at all. I want to know if it will work with ePub and Mobic formats?

Yes it Does. All your movies that you place on the drive can be uploaded from your windows computer. Now if you are asking can you stream movies on your windows computer. The answer is yes. Because of the drive has it own wifi signal. Just use your windows file explorer, and you will see your movies. There is a slight delay but it does work. This was tested on a windows 8, and 7 computer. I hope my answers help. Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.

I don't have a Fire HD6 but I've been using a Kindle reader for years and it connects to the internet through my Linksys WRT 150N WiFi. I looked at the specs for the Fire HD6 and found that it lists WiFi capability.

Hi! I have one of these, and while I love it (huge screen, great battery life, totally customizable file organization, best markup/annotation capabilities of any E-Ink reader), it can't read Amazon format ebooks (.azw format) and can't be used to access the Amazon ebook store app that comes on Kindles. It does (technically) have wifi capabilities that could be used to get to the amazon mobile site, but the wifi is unreliable at best and sometimes causes the device to crash.

It depends on what you want to do. To work on the device itself, the device own RAV FileHUB seemed to do the job pretty well even for watching videos. Essentially, it work like your average local network file server so anything that supports that should work. I use File Browser and GoodReader but have only really use RAV FileHUB on it. Where available, I would prefer to connect the storage devices directly to my computer and only uses the device when on the move.

I am just getting to know my tablet. I know that you can transfer pictures, files, etc. through a cloud and with a USB cable. I suspect you could set up a connection over wi-fi, but I'm not sure of that yet.

Well, the Wireless Flash Drive creates its own WiFi network, and you can password protect the network through the settings page in the app (iOS and android) or a web browser (Any other platform, windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) If you are using iOS or android, you can 'tether' the flash drive network to another network, so that you can stay online while viewing your files. But this option is turned off by default, but if you set it up on a public network (Starbucks, etc) then your files would be available to anybody while the flas drive is connected to that network.Hope this helps!

If you intend to watch videos on your device, you will eat all your data in no time and pay a fortune. I bought 4 gigs and used my device on a 30-day trip for lesser data-consuming tasks like music, email and facebook (no vids) and used about half that, mainly by taking advantage of any wireless services we had available (hotels, restaurants) along the way. It all depends on your usage; it's no substitute for a wireless modem, tho.

Only if Kindle has an App for it. It creates a wifi hotspot and, on an iOS device like my iPad, there is a free App that will connect to that hotspot and allow me to access the data on it and stream movies or music from its storage. If the Kindle HD has something similar (and I don't know since I don't have one) then it will work but otherwise the answer would be no.

for my use case it works faster that WD. I transfer files over LAN. Wifi will be slow.

i got a new android but cant figure out how to put amazon music from my old phone on to my new phone. I never used cloud drive. is there any hope for me?

The device does not have a browser and the unit does not have Amazon as one of it's streaming video options. So, you cannot stream video from Amazon. However, it does have a usb port on the front of the unit that will allow you to play anything that is plugged into it. So, there are ways to save the video to a flash drive and then plug the flash drive into the usb port on the wd live. That's what I do.

Not sure I understand your question. The Pocket Hard Drive establishes a Wi-Fi link to your phone, tablet, etc. At that point, the Drive will stream directly to your device.

Once you install the proper software on your device, the WI-Drive is it's own network. You will no longer have internet connection, just the WI-Drive. There you can access videos, music, pics, etc. So, yes, you can then open the video with an app on your device.

I'm no tech wizard. But if you can place a file on a hard drive , be it music, video or data you can access it through your chosen tool tablet etc and play it. It's just a hard drive with a router built in. So effectively it is a cloud of sorts. Just have to put music files on there in a compatible format for your tablet to access and play them.

It's a Chromebook, so everything lives in the 'cloud'. You can use Google docs to write your essays, documents, notes, etc. There is no need for Word when everything can be saved forever in Google Drive.
