Kingston Wi-Drive/Eye-Fi

[peppermsu]

I have a suggestion that Eye-Fi and Kingston work together and develop a way that I can have my images either transmit from my Eye-Fi card and end up on my Kingston Wi-Drive. I suggest by connecting both my iPod/iPad and Eye-Fi card to the Wi-Drive network and having the iPod/iPad receive the images in an app and at the same time transmit the images directly to the Wi-Drive. My other idea is that Eye-Fi and Kingston work together to create some sort of software that runs on the Wi-Drive and can act like the software that runs on a computer, in which it allows for the Wi-Drive to receive images from the Eye-Fi card directly. I have tried to find another way to do this, but neither the Eye-Fi card, Eye-Fi App, or Shuttersnitch App support WebDav, which the Wi-Drive can use to receive data wirelessly. I use GoodReader and the iFiles apps to send data such as Documents, Photos and Videos to my Wi-Drive, but would like a unified app that automatically send the photos to the Wi-Drive. Also, there should be a way to select specific images that you would like to be sent to the Wi-Drive, just in case some people don't want everything forwarded. I would like to see both an App that allow photos to be sent to the iOS device and forwarded to the Wi-Drive, either automatically or based of what you choose in settings, custom selected and a way to transmit directly from the Eye-Fi card on to the Wi-Drive (For those people that want to back up their photos but don't want to have a device as the middle man or don't have an iOs or Android device). If any body knows of a way to do this until it is made easier, please let me know.

I agree that having photos sent directly to a Wi-Fi enabled hard drive would be great. I have not been able to find any device that does that yet. Everything I found wants to send not receive content... but I would like to keep this discussion open in case anyone has found something that might work.

I found a possible future solution (I wrote to them and it doesn't work with Eye-fi now... but perhaps in the future)... check out AirStash:
[this board will not let me include URLs... but you can search and find info about these devices]

Another one is Seagate's GoFlex Storage System

Hitachi also has a possibility: Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro External Hard Drive

There are certain Buffalo LinkStation models that can be configured to receive pictures from your Eye-Fi card and store them on the drive. I don't know if they have WiFi connectivity or not, but they are at least networked hard drives, so you should be able to access them from other devices.

Buffalo isn't my first choice when it comes to networked storage, so I'm hoping that Eye-Fi decides to expand to other manufacturers too... but at least there's someone out there supporting Eye-Fi...
