    Toshiba, really nice hardware, poor software. Works okay, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

    Among other things this is supposed to create a way to connect a portable HDD to your wireless network. And while it does do that, it does it poorly. It was a struggle to get it to connect with my router. But once connected it was stable. When restarting your network turn on the router first then wait for the router to boot up first, then turn on the Canvio Wireless Adapter, or CWA. Do it in this order or the router won't recognize the CWA. Once it does. I was able to send and receive files to it from every computer on my network. You absolutely have to have at least one Wi-Fi enabled device to talk to the CWA in order to set it up. File transfer time is slooooow, you can't add any kind of executable file to the connected HDD through the CWA, and any file you store or update through the CWA interface will have an incorrect creation and/or modification date. And there is a file size limit if you use a flash drive. If you store a large RTF file over 5 MB in size the file will be corrupted. But unplugging the flash drive and writing to it directly from a computer and it works just fine. You can read a large RTF file but if you modify it in any way then save it while the flash drive is plugged into the CWA then the file will be corrupted. I have no idea if other file types would also be affected, but I would suspect that they would. If you can work within these limits and file transfer speed isn't an issue then you may like it.

    Nice device with a bad app.

    You can share video or photo within the local network but you can't make any changes on the files. The app has the edit,modify and delete buttons but when you want to delete the picture. The app says "the file can not be deleted!".

  • Not even any good as a doorstop

    I tried this with my iPad. I could see what was on a USB memory stick or on a memory card plugged into a card reader plugged into this Toshiba thingy. I could view JPEGs but not transfer them to the iPad. That is, of course, on the rare occasions that it maintained a connection to my iPad. Basically, the software is so half baked that it renders the device useless for use with Apple iPads. Save your money and give it to the town drunk who'll have way more benefit from it than you will from this landfill.

  • Stops responding every time I tried to protect the files with a password.

    I had to reset the device several times after it gets stuck when I tried to set a password. I think buying this was a mistake. Without a password, anyone can connect to the device via a laptop and delete files on the drive.

  • IOS compatibility

    Good product. Works well to stream to apple devices. Will only be able to access Apple device content on older IOS versions 8.1 or earlier. This impacts the ability to download from iPhone or iPad to mobile drive.

  • Not for a PC

    If you want to share files wireless with PC, this is junk. Great for androids if you files are android compatible. I have never had so much trouble connecting any thing to my PC as I have had with this. Paper work is useless.

  • Like most things in China and Japan very little documentation, if you can't make it work it's not a good value.

    It's "tiny" in size than I expected... but, that's actually a good thing - it won't take up much space &/ it'll be easy to 'attach semi-permanently, to the hard drive I use.

  • The good addition if the storage matters

    It's cheap, elegant, compact. Easy to connect. Virtually any usb storage device can be attached as the storage medium. I'm giving 4 not 5 only because it is optional addition and also not as portable as main smart phone or tablet

  • Still working on it

    I'm not sure yet whether it was a mistake on my part to purchase this item - I'm still trying to make it work.
