hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the ravpower file hub this is a
wireless router that's also a 6700 milliamp hour power bank and has some
other features as well it's pretty interesting and I've been using their
products for a very long time I've used their power banks I've showed you on
this channel and I actually used their wireless charger most of the time as
well so I use this one all the time and have for quite some time and they've
partnered with me to sponsor this video to show you this power hub slash
Wireless travel router that also does file backups and could extend your
wireless network as well it's a really interesting product so you can see we
have some lights on the front here this light here shows you that you're
connected to your own internet so you can extend the internet here you've also
got a connection here for Wi-Fi it does two point four or five gigahertz
it's got SD card slot as well as a battery indicator so on the outside
you'll see that we have the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi button we also have an
SD card in here so if I pop this one out this is a 128 gigabyte Sony SD card that
I've got in here it works just fine and then you see there's a button here that
says SD and USB and then on this side we've got a power button and here we
have USB a for charging your phone or whatever you'd like
also connectivity then micro USB and that's the other thing it includes in
the Box is micro USB to USB a and then it has Ethernet so you charge through
the micro USB but the Ethernet jack allows you to extend your Wi-Fi network
maybe you're in a hotel you want to plug that in you can do that and let me show
you more about this and how it works it's really neat you can backup your
phone on the fly if you don't want to use iCloud or if you want to transfer
files you can do that as well so let me bring in my iPhone and the first thing
we need to do is make sure we're connected through our Wi-Fi network to
the file hub so let's go into our settings and you'll see here on their
Wi-Fi I'm connected to it so we're good to go so if I go over here to Rav file
hub there's two apps you can use either the older or the newer if we go into the
older app right away it tells us our storage of the SD card so 101
gigabytes is what it says it's really a 128 but 30 gigabytes available give or
take and then we also have camera back up contacts photo backup we can just
back up with one touch if I want to back these up give access and then select
which ones we want to back up and we can just use this if we want but I like the
newer app which is the file hub plus it seems a little bit nicer and it's more
fluid so the first thing we want to check is our system and like I said you
can extend your Wi-Fi network using this so you'll see I'm connected to my home
network we'll go back here and of course you can change the password change what
type of network you're using that sort of thing it's got all the typical
security that you would want but then you've got documents file folder and
system so let me move over to an iPad to show you this on a little bit bigger
screen now on the iPad we'll go into the same app here we'll just move this aside
and that will work fine and like I said you can charge from the file hub as well
so if you want to you can just plug in a cable will plug in one end here to the
end of the file hub with USB a then we'll grab the other end of our
lightning cable just plug in our iPhone and immediately we're charging so you
can leave that charging if you'd like it will stay charging or you can use it as
file transfer and I'll show you that in a moment
so on the iPad set this over here on the iPad we can do all the same system
things but if we go into documents for example you'll see it says file hub plus
or iPad so I don't really have any documents let's go back and in the upper
right it gives you your status as well so this means you're connected through
your network and then also you've got your battery level of your file hub and
then maybe music I don't really have any music on here but I do have documents or
file folders so now we're looking directly at the memory card so if I want
to go into the memory card and take a look directly at whatever we're looking
at here see what we've got under Panasonic you'll see here's a photo I
took when I was doing a different video it takes a moment to load and transfer
I'm looking at this directly from the SD card on the file hub now we can share
we'll hit this button here wait for it to pop up and now we can share it to our
images save it to our images right on our iPad so we'll hit save images it
saves it to the iPad we'll go back and then we can do the same thing in Reverse
so maybe we're on the iPad and we want to back up a photo so we can go to our
iPad photos go to maybe the camera roll here so here's the latest wallpaper and
all we need to do is hit select select the latest wallpaper copy - and then we
can save it - let's save it to my files and we'll hit paste we'll hit OK I must
have transferred it earlier but now it's transferred to the SD card on this
device so really really helpful now the other thing you can do with this is
really impressive as well what we can do is unplug this cable and instead we'll
plug in USB C from a hard drive so this is a USB C hard drive to USB a will plug
it into the end of the file hub here you'll see it has enough power to
actually turn it on and spin the hard drive so because it's got that battery
in there we can actually use it as a hard drive so we'll go to the file hub
again we'll go back and it will take just a moment and then we can go to file
folders it loads and now you'll see we have more volumes so we have SD card USB
disk 1 & 2 so we've got USB here and there's windows on this particular one
will go to volume 1 and in this folder I actually have an iPad review that was
from Final Cut Pro we've got different media here so maybe we want the original
media and you see a bunch of other things that I've recorded in the past
and maybe you can record you want to transfer something that's 10 gigabytes
you could do that but we'll go to this one this was iOS 11 beta 1 what's new it
plays directly from here this is really old but it will play directly from the
app or we can select it tap on this here and then go to copy to iPad photos
camera roll and paste it and it will transfer to this device and then we
could edit it may be in luma fusion or something like
now this is gonna take a little bit but if you're on a 5g Network it can
transfer up to 300 megabytes so you shouldn't have any issues there so it's
done transferring and it should be in our photos on the iPad so let's go into
photos you'll see here's the video I just transferred over we'll hit the
button here and this is a really old one but it's from iOS 11 so it's on the iPad
so I transferred it from this hard drive through the file hub over to the iPad
and we could do that with a Mac or anything else we can transfer even
through a web page if you want to set that up there's a lot of different
options for the file hub so I'll definitely be carrying this device when
I travel or maybe I'll just use it at home to transfer files from that SD card
or a hard drive directly to my iPad that's a really easy way to transfer
files from your your camera and things sometimes it doesn't work well and you
can't kind of deep dive into the file structure maybe that will come later on
with iPad but it also works with Android as well so if you have an Android phone
use the same app go into the app you can see our file folders here go into the SD
card and you can look at it just like you can on the iPhone and transfer
device files back and forth through pretty much anything you can also use a
web browser as well if you want to get into the advanced files in transfer
between the Mac or anything else it's very simple and straightforward let me
know what you think about it in the comments below and of course like I said
I'll be using this more and more in the future if you haven't subscribed already
