Looking at Quine and considering, but, yeah, things are not quite there yet
for local storage with iOS. Not sure how much I want to get into new
territory.

What I think you should do is host it on the network then access it from
your iOS device. You could setup a secure VPN solution that would allow
them to connect to the home network remotely. Or you could just have it
sync changes once they get back home. I really think that would be a lot

I understand. The hacker incidents of stolen data makes trusting websites
with precious data harder, so the idea of USB keys for secure data storage
seems like (at least for the common man) a relatively inexpensive, yet
secure approach. It's also (might be) relatively easy to plug in the key
David,
Another question to ask is how much data costs, and is it always available.
As the price drops and tiddlyiki can be hosted over https the cloud option
becomes more compelling. Sometimes when the direct approach is not
available we are forced to find a way around and we can find better

Interesting point.
The other point is sneakernet. That is, providing a communication where
they can communicate changes to the financial data (results of doctor
visits, big banking transactions, etc.) which would be done by TW writing
data to the USB key and then passing that to others as need
I understand and fully appreciate what you're saying. The lock-in factor
with Apple is very big and hard to walk away from.

Mark,
As I understand it it is always photos videos and other media files that tax
storage. The apple environment deals with this data likitation with larger
memory more expencive phones and icloud.
Since iphones means you must use icloud I would trust icloud and look for a
solution there, kee
I'm not a Mac person, but I'm following along.
Do I understand this correctly: You can only access a USB stick via an App
specifically made for that stick? And can only access files that that app
allows? So if a usb manufacturer doesn't provide good codecs, you might not
be able to view videos
David,
With all due respect I think your solution ideas would be much easier on an
Android device. The elephant in the room is Apples propriety approach and
how creative solutions are often restricted unless apple has a product of
their own. It belies their messaging that says they lead, are si
Interesting possibility. My concern was potential size of the financial
records over time chewing up significant space on the iPhones internal
storage (daughter likes to fill storage with her self-produced videos).
Use of a USB key can add to the storage significantly, but I'm not sure yet

One possibility is to think of the iPhone(s) as being the USB keys: iOS gives
each app a sandboxed area of storage that is accessible if you plug the device
into iTunes via USB: you can see the files and drag and drop new files into it.
From the perspective of the PC, the device pretty much is a
The main reason is absolute and easy security. It is really simple to give
my (not too computer savvy) family a USB key to plug into their iPhone when
needed to access things like medical records. It would also be nice if
they could, in a controlled manner, update the information on the USB ke
Aww. That's a real shame. USB keys provide a simple security solution for
families in that their information is not on the Internet where it can be
hacked.

David,
Whilst reasons such as this have moved me away from the Apple eco system I
believe you may be able to achieve the equivalent by other means.
Perhaps you could share the requirements you have that prompted you to
choose a USB drive as the way to deliver a TiddlyWiki to the iPhone.

It is an intentional limit on iOS.
iOS doesn't let developers have real access to the underlying filesystem
without a lot of trouble and the access you have is very aggressively
sandboxed. But you do have access to the built-in media browser which lets
you see any video or images on the device
I use TiddlyWiki in iOS through Quine (iOS app), and the file is, in my
case, stored on iCloud, but is should be possible to do it on a USB key as
well.
It works well also to sync with a Mac.

David,
When you say iOS I presume an iphone or iPad not a laptop or mac mini
I am not longer using an iPhone, so can not give a full outline, But I
