One of our favorite devices we reviewed last Summer was the SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive that we highlighted in our article, 10 Family Tech Tools for the Open Road<\/a>. \u00a0It’s a flash drive that you can store your pictures, videos, and music on and through its own hotspot, you can connect up to 6 mobile devices to stream or view the data from the drive.<\/p>\n

This year, we are reviewing the SanDisk Connect Wireless Media<\/a> drive which looks more like a square disk rather than a thumb drive. \u00a0The benefit of the SanDisk Connect Media Drive over the Flash Drive is that you can add a SDHC\/SDXC card to the Media drive to either:\"SanDisk<\/p>\n

1.) instantly add more disk space to the drive or<\/p>\n

2.) to take the SD card from your camera\/camcorder and add it to the Media Drive to instantly watch and share photos with other streamers from\u00a0the drive<\/p>\n

For example, you could be taking pictures are a party on your camera, insert the camera’s SD card into the SanDisk Connect Media Drive and start viewing the pictures and videos on your phone or tablet. \u00a0Invite others to join your hotspot and they can download the pics on their phone…on the spot! \u00a0It’s easy.<\/p>\n

We recently had my daughter’s Odyssey of the Mind team over for an end of project party. \u00a0I had taken hundreds of pictures of the kids as they created their script, learned to saw, drill, and paint, created scenes and props, and rehearsed. \u00a0I knew their parents would be interested in having some of the pictures, so I copied them all to the SanDisk Connect Media Drive. \u00a0If anyone asked for them, I could give them access through the SanDisk app and they could select whichever pictures they were interested in and download them. \u00a0There was no worry about connecting to WiFi because you can connect directly to the SanDisk Connect Media Drive for access. \u00a0It works great.<\/p>\n

I also recently took a trip to Oklahoma to see my niece graduate from Oklahoma University. \u00a0During my trip, my beautiful niece turned 22, it’s hard to fathom where the time went. \u00a0Before leaving, I searched on my computer for any pictures with her name on them and loaded them onto my SanDisk Connect Media Drive via a mini USB cable. \u00a0Once there, I connected my smartphone to the SanDisk Connect Media Drive and using Miracast (a screen mirroring setting on my Android phone) and the Cellulon PicoAir projector (highlighted in our Mother’s Day Guide<\/a>), I was able to project pictures on the wall of my niece growing up. \u00a0It was particularly fun because most of the pictures she had never seen before. \u00a0We all had a great time watching them and the timing was perfect to celebrate her growing up\u00a0as she was about to graduate.<\/p>\n
