… not so good for interacting with files from the same device where local storage and file sys and IO for external local storage are key. Since they imposed less limitatins there.īut what Apple does not seem to realize or respect is: what if i dont have connection, reception? ……or even if i do, interacting with large files at cloud speeds is an absolute pain and impractical.Ĭloud is good for accessing files from different devices if one must.
It is my belief that this is, for the most part, intentionly done by Apple to push people in their ifiles cloud storage subscription service…. Ios file / assett managment and lack of external device IO are basically HUGE handicaps for pro/power useres who need flexibilty in storing/ organizing/ naming/accessing and interacting with their local files … I have to use export to itunes and then connect to a desktop itunes….transfer the file to itunes and add it to my liberary there.then Resync with ios to have my own created songs in my music library on ios. ….And even more ridiculous!!!….If i make a piece of music on grageband ios and choose to add it to my music liberary … i cant do it directly just using an ios device! There is no native/ local ios music/audio folder available to the user.
it is even more complicated and convoluted and idiosyncratic. I can see these good for backup or archiving… but not interactively working with files.Īs for Gargaeband/etc and and audio files. Same holdes true for copying files to the external drives. No direct interactivity with the external drives! which is a huge handicap. then launch the desired app on ipad/ios and access these files on iOS’ internal drive and folders… One has to first copy files from the external device to ipads internal hard drive and to standard folders in photos, video, etc using the proprietary apps that come with the drives. One can not interact with the files on these drives directly from different iOS Apps…lets say Filmic for editing or Affinity for photos or garageband. The problem with these type of devices are that u need their own proprietary app to interact with the drives and files.

Via Apple’s App Store, the RAVPower FileHub Plus app is here and the RAVPower FileHub app is here. MacDailyNews Note: RAVPower FileHubs are available via Amazon for $50.99 and under here. Now we can connect any hard drives that we have to our iPad, so that we can copy over video content, copy over photo’s, whatever it is, stream stuff straight off of our hard drive. “What this device allows you to do, is connect a variety of things to your iPad. “I picked this one up on Amazon for 65 dollars,” Hill writes. “What do you do? Well, you use this cool device from RAVPower, to connect and then get access to all of that storage and more.” We already know that we can’t plug this hard drive directly into an iPad,” Hill writes. “Maybe it’s the new iPad pro, 2018, 11 inch, or maybe it’s the previous year iPad, and you don’t wanna spend all of that money to get that external storage.” “Say you have a hard drive, a one terabyte hard drive, like I have right here, and you have an iPad,” Jerad Hill writes for State of Tech.
