    I am using a SanDisk iXpand 32 GB drive with a Lightning connector on one end and USB on the other. It plugs into the IOS device to transfer files in both directions and then into the USB port of a computer to transfer files in that direction. PNY has a similar device. WiFi is not needed. I believe there is also a 64 GB version and perhaps larger.

    Quick question (I do have one of these...just came yesterday and I appreciate you showing varied options for its use), how long would you guess you could use the hub for streaming before it would run out of power? Also, if it did get low in juice during a movie, I can just have it plugged into wall for power, right?

      Ramon W Borges If the problem should be others handing you files then the solution would be asking them to change their ways and upload the files to whatever place (whatever type of place) on the Internet themselves. - If it should comfort you: I have almost entirely moved to the cloud for data and to mobile devices for managing those data. - The ultimate barrier in using an iOS device as a desktop replacement may be Apple's approach to keeping our devices from malware. This seems to include all file types except the ones deemed harmless. - I may already have two hardware solutions (one microSD-card reader for the lightning port and a wireless card reader) but the associated apps are subject to that protection.
