It had internet pass through.
AQ_OC said:The Internet pass through is a new feature that the seagate didnt have when I had it. Sounds like a good feature.
AQ_OC said:Can you save files from iPad apps to the goflex?
AQ_OC said:Matt,
Thanks for the response. I am not sure if I understand what you have said. What I am wanting to know...is if I have a PDF file on my iPad, say in Goodreader, can I save that file to the GoFlex drive? I know I can read from the Goflex if the iPad knows the type of file it is, but I want to take a file I create in Pages, Keynote, Numbers, or GoodReader and save to the GoFlex. Then take they go GoFlex, plug it into a laptop or PC, and use it there.
MattIM said:Hi AQ_OC, I got home and tried to load the PDF file I've been working on the iPad but my iPad could not fin the GoFlex Hard Drive. I have plenty of ability to save a file from the GoFlex into my iPad that is pretty easy, but going the other way, nope. I hope someone else with more experience on the GoFlex and chime in if they know how I can go from iPad to GoFlex.
Thanks for asking me this question AQ...I now have a work around, I can do my document work on my iPad, save it into GoodReader or iCloud, pull the file into my laptop work on it from my laptop, sync my GoFlex to the PC and then access back on my iPad via GoFlex. That seems to be quite a lot of steps. So in cases where I have data files like a PDF or a word.doc or a spreadsheet, I'll bypass the GoFlex and use my cloud based resources. But for media files like movies, tv shows and music--I'll use my GoFlex. Those are the big memory storage hogs anyway.
