Introduction
Wi-Drive is a portable USB Flash storage device that allows you to wirelessly stream digital media content (such
as music, photos, videos, etc.) to your iOS-based iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod touch®device. Serving as its own
mobile wireless network, Wi-Drive’s lithium-polymer battery gives you up to four hours of continuous access to
your digital library (within a 30-foot range) anywhere you go. Available in various capacities and simple to set up,
Wi-Drive is the perfect solution for expanding your on-the-go media library with devices that have no way of
adding to, or expanding, their storage capacity.

Installing the Wi-Drive Application
To configure Wi-Drive, you must first install the Wi-Drive App (to your iPad, Iphone, or Ipod touch device) from the
on-line App Store (Internet access required). The Wi-Drive App is free and allows you to customize the wireless
network settings and wirelessly access the content you’ve uploaded to Wi-Drive. To install the App, please follow
these steps:
1. Open the App Store from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device and search for "Kingston.” See Figure
4.1 below. The App Store may return multiple results for your search, just be sure to select Kingston Wi-
Drive.
Figure 4.1 – App Store Search
2. Locate and select the Wi-Drive App that corresponds to your device, i.e. Wi-Drive for iPad, for iPhone,
iPod touch, etc. by Kingston Digital, Inc. and tap the ‘FREE’ button link. See Figure 4.2.
Figure 4.2 – Wi-Drive App by Kingston Digital, ‘FREE’
3. After selecting ‘FREE,’ the grey button will turn green and change to ‘INSTALL APP.’ Select this button to
complete the installation of the App to your device. See Figure 4.3.

Once the App has been installed, you may exit the App Store and proceed to the next section of this manual.

Connecting Wi-Drive to a Computer
To add content to Wi-Drive, connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with the device. See Figure
7.1 below.
Figure 7.1 – Connecting
Wi-Drive to a computer
Loading Content onto Wi-Drive
When connected to a computer, Wi-Drive behaves like any
standard USB Flash drive, creating a data volume on your PC or
Mac (see Figure 7.2.). This volume allows you to populate Wi-Drive
with digital content that you can later share or access wirelessly via
the Wi-Drive application.
When copying content to Wi-drive, it is highly recommended that
you create folders on the data volume to help you organize and
quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content
of Wi-drive (as opposed to dumping all of your files onto the root
volume or into a single folder). For example, you may want to store
all of your music files in a folder called “My Music”, or keep all of
your photos in a separate folder called “My Pictures”, and so on.
When you are finished loading content, please safely3disconnect
Wi-Drive from your computer. This will automatically power the
device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the power button until
it turns green.
Figure 7.2 –Wi-Drive Volume on PC
(Note: While connected to your computer, Wi-Drive does not broadcast a wireless signal. Therefore you cannot
access it from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device in this state.)
3For Windows users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by right-clicking the USB icon in the right-hand corner of the taskbar and selecting
‘Safely Remove Hardware’. For Mac users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by dragging the volume icon to the trash can.

Connecting Wi-Drive over Wireless
Wi-Drive is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad or iPhone,
you will see ‘Wi-Drive’ in the list of available networks to join. By default, there is no password and when you
connect to it from your iOS device, you are establishing a dedicated link to Wi-Drive over that wireless signal.
Once you connect to Wi-Drive, you will substitute your iPad/iPhone’s Internet connection with Wi-Drive’s wireless
connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, Wi-Drive does provide a
bridging function that allows you to maintain access to Wi-Drive’s content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet
connection. See Accessing the Internet (Bridge Mode) on page 14.
Usage
Once you’re connected to the Wi-Drive’s network, you can begin accessing its content from your iPad, iPhone, or
iPod touch device by following these steps:
1. Open the Wi-Drive App on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device.
2. Tap the Wi-Drive icon (upper left corner of Wi-Drive App.)
3. Tap the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254). This will list the contents of your Wi-Drive.
4. Browse and select the media you wish to access. Only supported file types can be opened. See below.
A. The Files button displays all stored content on
the Wi-Drive regardless of type or extension. If
you created folders during the content upload
process on page 7, you will see them listed
first. Individual files are listed after the folders.
B. Buttons B, C, & D are all filter buttons and
display only the content associated with each
represented type. The photos button
represents photo/image file types. Wi-Drive
will search through all files and folders on the
device and display the supported image file
types.
C. The filmstrip button represents video file types.
will search through all files and folders on the
device and display the supported video file
types.
D. The musical note button represents music or
audio files. Wi-Drive will use this filter to
search through all files and folders for
supported music file types and display them.
E. The 'Gears' button allows you to access the Wi-
Drive’s configuration menu and network
settings.
