General Expendable storage visible through iFile or Filza manager?

Lvnatic · January 2, 2016

I have an iPad Air 2 with 64gb which is my only portable device and I'm constantly lacking storage to keep all my hd movies when I'm on the go.

I'm looking to expand my storage and so far I found 2 options that I like:

the canvio aeromobile

and

sandisk ixpand

They are both advertised as mostly photo backup options. The thing is, I don't need that function at all. I will only store 720p or 1080p movies on it and I want to be able to access them directly from my device, via iFile or preferably Filza file manager because that's what I use. I'm using Infuse and I need to manually move the files inside the app folder to be able to see the movies.

Is this possible with my jailbroken iPad?

I'm leaning towards the canvio aeromobile because it works with all kinds of wifi devices like my android smartphone or other laptops, but also because in case Apple decides to switch from the Lightning connector to something else, I will still be able to use the canvio with future products.

Looks like it can work. The 2nd one is most likely since it has a lightning connector but I have never used a product like this before.

Check the reviews?

Reviews are made by ordinary people who have never heard of iFile and only use the product for photos or music.

iFile and Filza can connect to a server via FTP and WebDAV. The wireless drive maybe?

I'm unsure also..

Any ideas anyone?

iFile or Filza is not as useful as external storage devices in my opinion. I don't see why they are being compared in the first place.

...what? I'm sorry I can't understand what you are saying.

IFile and Filza are file explorer apps, a storage device is a completely different thing, they can't be compared

That's what is said?

I don't see why not since I bought a sandisk ixpand for my iPhone 7 plus to easily install IPA files directly from the ixpand drive using ifile but for exploring the ixpand drive files there is a separate app for that. I currently don't have a jailbreak so I'm waiting for it.
