Toshiba Areocast apps

Like the Seagate Wireless, when connecting the Aerocast to a PC your only option is to use it as a drag and drop storage device. The Aerocast does have apps for Android and iOS, plus Chromecast compatibility, which enables you to interact with the drive from a number of devices. Using this one is trickier than the Seagate, as there aren’t any obvious instructions on how to connect the hard drive to your smartphone or media player. But after a bit of fi ddling you’ll eventually get there. The Wireless HDD app for mobiles has a slightly nicer layout than the Seagate offering, but one surprising feature is that there is no equivalent app for Windows or Mac, so you have to either access the Aerocast through your smartphone or directly via USB. It unfortunately doesn’t have the Seagate’s robust functionality, either.
