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 “Wi-Drive.” See Figure
1.1 below. The App Store may return multiple results for your search.
Figure 1.1 – Wi-Drive 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 1.2.

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
3.1 below.
Figure 3.1 – 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 3.2.). This volume allowsyou 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 safely
3disconnect
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 3.2 – Wi-Drive Volumeon 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 to 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 Network Connections on page 10.
Usage
Once you’re connected to the Wi-Drive 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 Home 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 home 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
camera 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. Wi-Drive
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.
Once you’ve located the file you want to stream, simply tap the
file name in the list and you’re ready to go. For a list of all file
types currently supported by Wi-Drive, see page 3.

If you want to delete, email, or copy a file from the Wi-Drive, you can do so via the Action menu. Simply navigate
to the file you wish to copy (or delete) and swipe it in either direction, left or right, as seen in Figure 4.2. This will
reveal the red ‘Action’ button shown in Figure 4.3.

folders individually from the Wi-Drive.
•The ‘Mail’ option allows you to email a file (up to
10MB) using the default mail client set up on your iOS
device.
•The ‘Copy To’ option allows you to:
1. Copy a file or folder from its existing location on
the Wi-Drive to a new location on the Wi-Drive,
with the ability to create a new folder.
2. Copy a file or folder from the Wi-Drive to its app
storage location (Local.) This space is limited
to the capacity of your iOS device.
3. Copy a file or folder from the Wi-Drive app
storage location (Local) of your iOS device to a
physical folder on the Wi-Drive.
