Way too slow?

I have the 100 gig.

Dropbox is using their own server. Using your own server will speed things up. Then you can upload online. It is faster with your own (server) storage. Reguardless of how many gigs you have for dropbox

By any chance anyone has tried to install an app to an SD card, or whatever external device, using a JB ipad and iFile or else? I've been looking for info about it on google with no luck so far. I want to buy the CCK but I have to wait until there is a IOS 6 JB. Anyone has tried what I mentioned before on IOS 5? Thanks in advance

Thanks for reply, but I thought CCK can't see the exfat format, it only works with FAT format???? That is what I read from your 1st post:"External Hard Drive (with power cord & formatted in FAT32" or I misunderstand something????

This works;

Ipad 3, Ifile, CCK and a Transcend 16 gb usb flash.

Now, I should like to know someting about importing photos.

It s kind of troublesome to have my ipad copy several 100 files into last imported folder,

It would have been easier with an app that imports into a specific folder from my sdhc card,
Then this app backup these files onto my usb flash.

CCK can't see exfat format SD cards. But it is only compatible to SDHC and below as far as I know. Other storages can transfer wirelessly through exfat though with a bigger cap.

Yes you should try the air stash or Kingston wifi device listed. Very simple and it both comes with an app and alternative app Good Reader from app store also makes life simpler!

Wow yof, you spent a lot of time/effort in that first post! Very impressive!

Send from my iPad using iPF.net

Thanks! That's what happens when your iPhone 4 gets outdated by the iPad. Looking forward to more experiments so I can guide it all up!

Excellent thread. I have read it all but it does not answer my 'problem'.

I have an iPad3 16GB. I was hoping to be able to store a few movies on SDHC cards (tried an 8GB and 16GB), to watch while away from home, using a 5 in 1 CCK. The ipad connects OK to the CCK and photo files come up and transfer no problems but the ipad will not read movie files on the SDHC cards (in mp4 format from 300Mb to 2 GB in size). The movies (not rentals) I am testing with have previously been played on the ipad after transfer through itunes and played no problems at all.

Should I be able to transfer these movies using the CCK? Is it because the files are too large or do I need to user smaller capacity SDHCs? I have the app 'Goodreader', can that help me? My iPad3 is not jailbroken.

Any help appreciated.

I am replying to my own post. Thanks for the zero help I received in this forum but I have had my question answered in another forum and yes it is possible to download large movie mp4 files to Ipad3 using a CCK. The naming convention of the folders on the SD card needs to be correct to achieve this.

My second and last post in this less than helpful forum!
