Wireless access to files| RavPower FileHub: On sale, anyone still using it?
https://www.ravpower.com/products/rp-wd009-filehub
On Amazon, it's $36 with code KJFILEHU down from $50.
I've seen in the past that some people have used it. Is it still useful? Not only for files, but for creating an ad-hoc network for multiple devices. Is that a viable option? Just curious. If anyone wants to buy one and test it out, maybe now is the time.

Since iOS 13 lets you connect a USB drive, I stopped using my wireless connector.
Same here!
Can this read NTFS drives?
I am pretty sure. It depends on the format of your drive. Now, can iOS read NTFS? Maybe via SMB?
Hmm, i'm not sure I thought iOS can only do FAT or HFS formats.
iOS can't do NTFS for directly attached drives. Over the air it makes no difference what format the drive is in as long as the device hosting it can read it since the device acts as a file server. The file hub can read NTFS drives.
I doubt I'll be using my HooToo router (similar technology to the RavPower) for file transfers any more. These kind of devices can still be really handy for setting up a private wireless network, or a network where there isn't any WiFi around.
I have two HooToo devices, one has a battery bank and USB ports that you can plug even hard disks into. Then I also have this little-bitty travel router that is about 1.5 inches square, and weighs nothing. It is always in my bag. If I want to set up a wireless network anywhere I can. It's also helpful in hotels where the wifi makes you sign in every single time your device goes to sleep. The router signs in and stays that way, and the rest of the devices connect to that.
Sorry for the ramble. tldr; a FileHub can be useful for drives that won't work directly attached to iOS, but at the cost of wifi transfer speeds vs. direct attach. The router part can be helpful, and can a battery bank built-in, but comes at the cost of weight of the battery.
I’ve got one of these, I used it a lot last summer for backing up SD cards from my video camera in the field (attached to a USB drive). It worked really well for that job, though not surprisingly you can’t play back 4K video to an iPhone over wireless with it.
This week I’ve been trying to get it to work in bridge mode to extend my wireless network. This worked, though I didn’t test the range. What I really wanted was it to then bridge over Ethernet to my iMac as the internal WiFi card is apparently dead. This didn’t work, but it never claimed it would, just I read somewhere that some travel routers could. I think it does adhoc network for multiple devices, but can’t face the manual again right now.
Anyway, enough of my failures. It works really well for what I bought it for (SD backup) at a fraction of the cost of other solutions. Nice having an emergency battery on hand too (I was filming in the middle of nowhere). Recommended.
I got a Raspberry Pi, which allows me to accomplish the same thing. (I hope).
@Alexandernaut gave me the great idea of using these as an ad hoc network for Ableton link sync.
Yup, I still intend to keep using mine, as it doubles as a charger and can also function as a regular USB drive
