It's a great option to take files along to a remote location without taking a whole computer.

(Note that plugging in via USB works fine, but I bought this as a wireless drive to sit nowhere near my computer, so USB isn't a reasonable option.)I've opened four support tickets

Is this a PERFECT option

It is a great option when you need to go with a minimal setup.

It's certainly functional primarily as a hard drive, but certainly there are less expensive options for that purpose.

I felt like a fool defending the drive's poor usability when less slick options (using the cameras' Wi-Fi functionality and app) are far more reliable

You might as well use one of the many online photo storage options available from other companies.)

Still looking for a good option - hope you get this one working - it's called "pro" but doesn't seem it lives up to the name - at least not yet

For hotel rooms where I can plug it in, the Plex server is one of the best options out there.

Because I take lots of photos and videos I use the CF card slot on my Canon 5D Mark IV so not having a CF card slot is not a good option

I read/watched numerous reviews that extolled it’s virtues as the absolute best option for external storage for iOS devices and how well it would interface with iOS apps

well i opened it up anyway and to my disappointment the product was scratched like deep gouges down the side of the product and also had smug marks all over it

And looking at the options if I purchase one (and I very well may) will go for the 4T version as the price differential for another 3T is not that much.

In fact I disabled 2.4ghz to eliminate the slower band all together
