I show how to setup the latest RavPower FileHub in its various modes, and provide a comprehensive review.
The RAVPower FileHub can be used as a wireless hard drive for your smartphone or tablet, or it can backup your camera’s SD cards when you’re on the move.
With storage on smartphones and tablets always at a premium, especially with Apple devices which have no expansion options, this former use is of particular interest to many.
The basic idea is you plug in a USB drive or an SD card in the portable, battery powered FileHub. The FileHub broadcasts its own WiFi network which you connect to from your smartphone or tablet. You can then browse your attached storage like it’s directly attached, using a free app. You can stream even large media files directly in the app, or you can transfer files between the attached storage and your device. And with this latest version from RAVPower which support 802.11ac at 5GHz, the transfer speeds are actually pretty good.
The FileHub also does a lot more: it can be configured as a wireless access point, a bridge or a router and it’s also a portable charger with a useful 6700mAh battery.
This is quite a long video - there's a fair bit to cover - please see down below and in the pinned comment below for timestamps if you want to skip ahead!
