SanDisk - Connect 16GB USB 2.0 Type A Wireless Flash Drive - Black

I bought three of these as gifts because I liked the concept behind them. Trouble is that the application to connect to my phone and/or iPad does not recognize the drive. My phone connects to the drive but the app doesn't 'see' the drive in order to transmit data to it. I have searched for other apps to no avail and will now have to contact Sandisk for help.

I could never get the mobile app to work with it!!

I will start off this review with the wireless drive's positive features, then its drawbacks, followed with my personal reasoning behind why. Pros: 1) Fairly decent wireless range; without much of speed throttling. Going through walls, < 90 foot range. < 340 foot range with a direct line of sight (excluding glass). 2) Its overall concept -- being compatible with both iOS and Android mobile operating systems -- extending the storage of a one's smart phone to a hardlined Internet-free and very personal "cloud drive" through a Wi-Fi medium. 3) Universal adaptivness between different hardware types (computer itself - Intel Macintosh and Intel Non-Macintosh) and operating systems (Mac OS and Microsoft). 4) High-rate download (Read) speeds. CONS: 1) Poor battery life. Less than 1hr 30min with continual use. 2) Dreadfully slow upload (write) speeds. < 2Mbps. 3) Outdated USB technology; still utilizing USB 2.0 hardware. 4) Over priced for an entry level wireless drive. 5) Repetitive concept; anyone can make this drive with a basic USB drive plugged into the back of a Wi-Fi box; though it is not realistically portable.
