HANDS DOWN, THE BEST WAY TO OFFLOAD IPHONE PICS AND VIDEOS
If you have an iPhone and a windows PC and don’t like using iTunes to transfer your media files, this will be one of the best tech solutions you can buy! I shoot A LOT of video with my iPhone. Even though I have a 256gb version, I still run out of space, especially I shoot in 4K. Trying to remove files outside of the iTunes system has been a nightmare, until now. If you have those same issues, this RAVPOWER FileHub is the solution! It makes transferring files simple again.I have seen some comments that give bad reviews stating that their file transfers fail. I have successfully transferred hundreds of files with this device, and yes, I have experienced file transfer failures, but it’s not because the hardware is failing. When you transfer a file, the software does not cut and paste. Instead it copies and pastes. This means that the software is making a copy of the file in order to paste it somewhere else. If you only have let’s say 50mb of space left, but try to copy a 100mb file, you will get a failure. So the answer is to move and delete 50mb worth of files, now you have 100mb free. Then copy and delete 100mb worth of files, so forth and so on until you have enough free space to copy and delete large files.For those having issues, give the method above a try, I’m sure you will have success.

Can't I rate this 6 stars?
This is a BARGAIN below $60. Avoids the hassle of having to set up & agree to a hotel Wifi agreement on all your devices, by letting you do it on just 1 device through the router! You can even set up the SSID for them to link to your router before you leave home for more relaxation time on vacation, so all your other devices just connect automatically after you connect to the hotel's/resort's internet. Ever have internet go out on you during a vacation or wish your portable device had more storage space? I was able to stream content to an android tablet, iPhone and Roku from both the SD card and USB drive attached even without internet. The 5G band really helps to avoid lag/buffering you might otherwise get with higher 1080p bit-rate content. No complaints. Nice compact size to. The internal battery means it can even temporarily operate without power, such as when I used to to stream videos from storage while in a vehicle.

Travel media server
I bought this specifically for use as a travel wifi media server, I got tired of the kids fighting over what one movie to watch on the overhead screen in the car. What impressed me the most was the battery life of this unit. I started a long trip with a full charge, plugged it in when we stopped for lunch and dinner and overall it lasted an entire 14 hr road trip with moderate usage between 5 devices.I don't recall seeing this in the instructions but cycling the power button after turning it on will allow simultaneous usage of both 2g and 5g bands which was necessary for our varying devices. I used a usb stick with my legally backed up media to provide the necessary content, the majority of which were mkv's and mp4's. Now for the tricky part, there is nothing that directly states how to access the media so this how I set things up to use with VLC media player on android devices and fire tablets (this has to be done on each device):1) Make sure your device is powered up2) Log in to the ravpower wifi network, either 2g or 5g with provided credentials in the instruction manual3) Open VLC media player4) In VLC open the menu dropdown5) Select Local Network6) Tap on the add (+) icon7) From the upper left drop down choose SMB8) Enter ip address, should be 10.10.10.2549) Enter a server name of your choice, easier to identify than just choosing an ip address off a list.10) For use with a usb stick: a. In the folder path enter directory "/usbdisk1_volume1" without the quotes. b. I have not tried the ravpower with an sd card yet, but I would conclude that a similar directory format would be required for use with an sd card ( I will update this step when I get around to trying the sd card)11) Save your changes in VLC12) In your usb stick create a root directory named "usbdisk1_volume1", without quotes, and place your media here or to better organize make subdirectories in usbdisk such as "movies" or 'music"13) Plug your usb stick in to ravpower and refresh your vlc14) Browse your content in the created usbstick directoryAgain this was used in a car environment so all the devices were in a close range, but there were zero hiccoughs with HD content playing through 2g or 5g. I give this a 4 star for use as a media player because of the setup required, and that's me knowing how to do this kind of stuff. If someone knows of a more straightforward way to use this as a media player with VLC, please let me know. Don't forget this setup has to be done an every device that will use VLC to access the ravpower.

Great little box!! worth the money
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I had an issue with the original unit, it was getting very hot. I reached out to vendor/seller and they provided me with a replacement unit. New unit works great!! i used it on a 5 hour flight, using iPad and android with no issues.here is the video showing the old and the new with the temperature problem.

Good for backup
I purchased this device to backup photo data in SD cards (SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s) to a SanDisk Extreme 250GB Portable SSD. It works fine. Transfer rate is about 14 MB/sec. Not fast but not so slow. The setup was a bit tricky for me. 1. Font on the manual is super tiny (The pdf version is available at their site). 2. Sometimes I needed to turn the device off and then on to update setup such as SSID. 3. The timestamp (date, time) of the copied folders is modified to the current time, though copied image files keep the original timestamp. So I needed to set correct time and date from web (10.10.10.254). The app does not have time setting feature. One big issue for me is that this device does not have any feature to show how much it copied in percentage. The app does not have such information either. So I estimated the transfer time and checked the size of the connected SSD on the app. Overall this device is a good option if you don't want to bring your laptop pc. If you need to copy large amount of files and/or many SD cards, you might need to consider other option. BTW, I purchased a Case Logic QHDC-101 portable EVA case to keep both of this device and SanDisk SSD. It fits well though a bit tight.

No gastes en cables apple para cada dispositivo
He comprado el día de ayer Ravpower con la duda aún si es la versión actualizada y con USB-C. Les confirmó que así me llego el producto y recomiendo ampliamente para usuarios Apple ya no gastes más en cables carísimos y para cada dispositivo esto es extraordinario para eliminar cables costosos de apple y cuides tus dispositivos ya que todo es por wifi y la app está desde apple Store. Ojalá les sirva mi comentario

Great product for transferring files
I saw this device originally on a you tube video. I have both PC AND APPLE. I am not super tech savvy but Im not bad.Anyways I needed a device that I could download to my external hard drive extra photos or files from my apple phone and ipad.This product works great and it was easy to set up. Sometimes there are pictures I want to keep but I dont want to delete and then I have to pay extra on cloud.So with this device I plug it into the usb port and then connect my ipad and apple devices wirelessly and it works fast in the transfer

Buena aplicación móvil
Es excelente, la interfaz de la aplicación móvil es muy agradable, te permite visualizar y respaldar los archivos.Pongo 4 porque el indicador LED de transferencia no es confiable, no se comporta como indica en el manual, por lo cual, no queda claro si la transferencia fue finalizada. La aplicación móvil es mucho mejor.

Muy practico... cumple con lo especificado
Me sorprendió el artículo, es muy conveniente para respaldar las tarjetas SD a un disco SSD. No están intuitivo para usar, pero su funcionamiento se aprende rápido. Me gustaría que mejoraran o mejor que integraran mejor el dispositivo para que sea transparente para su uso desde el telefono

UNA MARAVILLA DE PRODUCTO!
Este artículo lo compré básicamente por el respaldo de las memorias SD a cualquier HDD. Cuando viajamos mi hermano y yo juntos, normalmente nos compartimos todas nuestras fotos y videos. Para hacerlo, normalmente tenemos que llevar una computadora. Ahora, con este maravilloso producto, ya no es necesario llevar computadora y solo llevaremos cada quien nuestro HDD para guardar las memorias SD de mi hermano y también él las mías. También lo probé como router y no tuve ninguna complicación. Ya lo probaré en un hotel ya que no es lo mismo con el internet de casa que en el de un hotel. No pienso ocuparlo como cargador de batería puesto que prefiero usar uno de mayor capacidad (pero es bueno tenerlo como emergencia). Por todas estas cualidades, se me hace un excelente producto! Hice la prueba respaldando 3 memorias SD (dos de 32GB Y una de 64GB que contenía videos de mi GoPro. Esta última SD tardó en respaldarse una hora más que nada por los videos. Las otras dos memorias se respaldaron más rápido por contener mayormente fotos). La batería del RAVPower se agotó al respaldar las 3 memorias. Aunque el indicador de la batería aparecía en un inicio como completa, supongo que no lo estaba tanto puesto que era la carga que venía de fábrica. La puse a cargar (tardó 4 horas en cargarse completamente). Teniendo en cuenta estos tiempos, me puedo organizar en mis viajes para poder tener en cuenta el tiempo que requiero para respaldar mis memorias y además el tiempo para recargar el RAVPower cuando se agote la batería. Recomiendo totalmente este producto. Me encantó! (Además de que me llegó mucho antes de la fecha estimada de entrega)
