Mount a SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive
Authored by: caewok on Dec 10, '13 08:23:54AM

The SanDisk drive definitely does work via USB with a Mac. Just plug it into a USB port and you should be able to see the files and copy files to/from the drive.

I did manage to get Cyberduck to locate the drive using WebDAV. According to Cyberduck, the WebDAV address is http://sandiskXXxxxx.local./files, where XXxxxx is the two letter and four number combination that shows up as part of its wireless network name.

On an iPad, you can connect to the drive's wireless network directly, and then using Safari, you can view the files via http at the address http://www.sandisk.com/wfd. The advantage to using Safari is that Safari is better about identifying PDF files and sharing them with all compatible apps (such as iAnnotate) than the Sandisk app is.

In theory, iAnnotate should be able to set up a WebDAV connection directly with the drive. But using the WebDAV address seemed not to work (iAnnotate said it could not connect).

You can set up a WPA2 wireless password for the drive. In theory, that might slow down any would-be hackers trying to get at the password-free WebDAV server, who would presumably need to connect to the drive's wireless network first. But I agree with David Kisley's comment that the wifi protection could be compromised.
