At this point in time, the only drive I know that has the open in option, is
the Leef Ibridge. If anyone knows of any other drive that has the open in
option, I would like to know about it. I'm waiting for them to make this
app accessible with voiceover. Perhaps if several of us write tech support,
this will happen real soon!

Hi all,
I am very eager to try one of these drives. However, I was first under the
impression that most of them allowed the "Send to" option so that material
on the drive could be sent to another app. I learned (fortunately before I
made a purchase) that this is not the case. We need to wait till the
software for the drive that allows Send To is accessible or until other
drives offer the Send to option with accessible software if we want to, as I
do, grab books from my computer and put them in Voice Dream Reader.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. For those of us who want to use the drive to
play material in its proprietary app, some of these drives are good
solutions now.

Yes, I agree Rus, I think these drives, if they are accessible and will
handle all file types, are far superior. The increased cost is rather small
(I mean, suppose they are $40 instead of $20 for a standard drive of some
given size, $20 isn't so much that it makes it impossible).

From what I understand, with using dropbox, you first have to upload the
file to the cloud. Then you would use your Ios device to download the file
from the cloud. I have a number of zip files that are 600mb in size. This
would take a while to upload to dropbox. Using a flash drive, the transfer
would be a lot faster in my case.

I have no idea which dual USB-Lightning flash drives have accessible apps
since I have no plans or interest in buying one. Most of them are very
expensive compared to just an equivalent USB drive of the same size and the
limitation of only using the app doesn't get me very excited. Anyhow, as far
as I can tell I can do anything these flash drives can do with Dropbox or
OneDrive both of which I already have installed and use.

Sieghard

Do you happen to know which ones are the most accessible with voiceover?
The one I've been looking at is the Ibridge by Leef. The app for this flash
drive has a open in option. I've been exchanging email with there tech
support. They tell me that they hope to have this app accessible with
voiceover very soon. When this happens, I'll be buying one. Then I can say
vood buy to itunes file sharing!

You can access whatever information is on the USB drive, but only via
whatever app goes with the drive. You cannot, for example, put music on the
drive and then get this music to show up in the music app or, for that
matter, even copy it to the internal storage of your iPhone. Ringtones is
another example where you either have to buy them from iTunes so they are
available on the iPhone or you have to use iTunes to sync them to your
phone.
The thumb drives are really no different than Dropbox or OneDrive in that
they are a way to access files stored on them by the app just as you can
access information stored in Dropbox or OneDrive with the Dropbox or
OneDrive app. Only difference is that with Dropbox or OneDrive the files are
in the cloud and with the USB drives they are physically on the drive which
you then have to plug into your Lightning port.

Sieghard

What about those new thumb drives which are supposed to work on both I
devices and Windows devices? Can be sure of any of their names (one may
have been Istick), but I thought I read they were supposed to do exactly
this (with the help of an app which came supplied on the thumb drive).
Anyone know anything about these as an Itunes sync replacement?
Thanks,
Chip

I just wished there was a good third party program to make it easy to
transfer content to your ios device. Itunes 12 is much harder to use than
itunes 11 was.

Accessible and easy to use aren't necessarily the same thing.
iTunes is accessible, but it can be clunky to get around in. Even sighted
folks like to complain about iTunes. I'm a Jaws uer and the times i have to
interact with iTunes, I can, but my preference is to do as much as I can on
the phone.
I will say, it is a good app for organizing your media library at the very
least.

I have never used iTunes for windows, because I have a Mac. However, if
friend of mine was just told by an Apple accessibility senior representative
that window eyes works with iTunes for windows and is the only screen reader
which Apple says does that. I know that a few years ago, and it literally
has been years, GW micro had been touting this fact. But I know a lot of
changes have happened with both window eyes and iTunes since then I suspect
that this is the case of apple not keeping their propaganda, I mean their
publication, up-to-date. So for you who use Windows version of iTunes and
screen readers two questions. One, Is it true, WE users, that iTunes works
perfectly well with the latest version of window eyes? And two, what about
other screen readers? Do any work well?
