The other day I bought DataCase and figured the volumes are not displayed on Finder ( or Path Finder ) after quitting DataCase on my Tiger. Therefore, I made a workflow to resolve the issue because I do not like the situation and cannot wait for the developers to fix it.

If you also cannot wait, go to the following URL and get the workflow I have just made.

I got my iPhone yesterday and had a look at all the different file copy apps .. FileMinder, Files and Mobile Finder.
I decide to choose Datacase because it says
“Control Access – … Each volume is independent and allows you to define how it can be accessed. You can set read, write, and browse permissions for each, or even make it invisible to anyone but you ….”
Was disappointed after I pruchase it to discover that this is not on the iPhone side but on the PC browser side.
So I cannot hide or protect the volumes on my iPhone. I think this should be made clearer in the App description.

It has been said that there is “FileMagnet” for Mac users.

They are other programs that turn your iPhone into a USB key. There is “Files”, “MobileFinder” that allows you to transfer files from Mac and PC using a wireless network. They cost around the same price as DataCase.

I have only tried DataCase, but the 2 other apps look a bit the same and works with mostly the same files. They are a few distinctions, and they have the same grade from user’s review.

People, choose the application you want!

@spinoza I should have been more clear: I’m confused why I have to pay for a function that already comes in a standard iPod. Wifi aside, I can’t even plug a USB plug into an iPod Touch and transfer files into it like a hard drive.

I am by no means questioning the quality or monetary value of the developers of the app. I am questioning, what appears to me, a huge inconsistency between product features on the part of Apple. It reminds me a lot of having to pay Apple to get my iPod Touch to have the Google Maps app just like the iPhone.

Or, am I still making childish inquiries?

Caravan also has a built in text editor, so you can create and edit text documents. One advantage with Caravan is that you don’t have to be at home to view your computer’s files; as long as the computer is on and your phone is connected to the internet it works. See http://menoob.c...lder-on-the-go/ for a nice review and instructions.

I was streaming h.264 from the iPhone to my computer via http in the web browser. One gets a directory structure and if your browser can play media files, then ‘Bob’s your uncle’.

First, to complain about the price of an app that costs $7 is flat out childish. The development that goes into these apps takes time, effort, and know-how, and paying a modest amount for this is all the one can ask. If $7 is too much, then you are probably not interested in this type of application in the first place. The only way a market for such iPhone apps will develop is if the developers are adequately compensated.

That being said, what I don’t like about this otherwise great app is it doesn’t support any of the iWork apps–is this a problem with the iPhone itself (paradoxically!), or just a question of developing these third-party apps to support Pages, etc.? I left the world of MS Office years ago and have not looked back…

Please remind me again why we are paying premiums on basic features like this? It’s one thing to pay for content, but paying for accessibility smells like a flaw.
