Q: Does this drive operate as a bluetooth type of device?
A: This product is a WiFi hotspot, so you do not need another WiFi network to use it. You can connect directly to this devices WiFi network and store or retrieve your files. It does not work with BlueTooth.
A: No, you can't browse the web with this. It's a hard drive that creates its own wifi network so that you can access files on it from a tablet, smart phone, or notebook computer that is within its limited range without having to physically connect this hard drive to the device. It does not connect to the internet itself. However, if you connect it to a computer via a USB port, you can use it just as you would any other portable hard drive, including downloading videos and other files to it from the internet--if your computer has an internet connection of its own. If you connect a device to this drive via wifi, you lose your connection to any other wifi, so you can't connect to the internet at all with the connected device so long as you're connected to this drive via wifi. Hope this helps.
Q: Does this device handle automatic backups?
A: 1..Yes 2..The MAC backup uses a "changed-since-last-looked" method by default (it saves time and disk space) 3..You can -- I would not suggest any limitations. It does not save that much time or disk space since it only logs changes 4..Mac finds a new file/folder and it adds it to the list without any prodding from the user. No message that it did so--it just takes care of it
A: No. There are 2 different types of USB connectivity, USB Host and USB Client. You must connect a Client device to a Host device. Your camera and this drive are both "Client" Devices. Devices such as a computer, or a printer with the "Pict-Bridge" logo are the only things that a camera will normally connect to.
Q: Is this device compatible or can be use with usb 2.0?
A: It can be connected to USB 2.0 as well as 3.0.
Q: I have a windows vista computer, this can work for it ?
A: Yes, the device is compatible with Windows Vista.
Q: I have Dell Venue 8 pro 64GB is it the best for my TABLET
A: Depends on what you mean by best. The drive provides storage for devices that don't have built in support for usb devices, such as the Nexus 7. Do you need a terabyte of storage? It works like an access point so your wireless connection has to be stopped to connect to the drive. Can't surf and access the drive at the same time. I find this to be very inconvenient. On the other hand you can use it to share information with others during meetings by allowing them to connect to the drive. So, if size, use, and convenience factors are acceptable then it would be a good fit for you. Also you might consider SanDisk Wireless flash drives in 32GB and 64GB. Operation is the same but smaller devices.
Q: apps,and travel compatibility
A: YES, I used this item on the airplane and watched movies using the wireless mode from the HD to my iPad and my associates Chrome Pixel. GREAT asset for the $$. As for storing APPS, YES there also. I have over 500 apps stored on this device, when I need them, I wire up and click. Hope this info is helpful to you.
