Your iOS device IS a USB Stick. Our USB Stick app lets you copy data to/from your desktop computer via iTunes, and lets you download and cache items from your DropBox Account. Now with annotation capability, you can write on or sign your faxes. Add notes, make corrections or complete a contract with your actual signature. For dropbox we can passively cache your files so you can download and view them later without network connectivity! Optional support for local storage Folders to help organize your files. Using Apple's preview technology we can display many document types, or you can expand USB Stick's capabilities by adding extra features via in-app purchases, tap the "In-App Purchase Items" option from the main screen. Most notable is the ability to add accelerated PDF or FAX file pre-rendering so USB Stick can manage both your Fax files and your PDF documents, or add the ability to read and display many different file types, or work with wall size Maps. In-app purchases enable all the functionality you need. Lastly we have the ability to print, email, or create a PDF from most image file types, when you purchase our accelerated readers.

Easily backup files from memory cards to external drive (like USB flash drive) or to internal storage. Combined with a compatible USB hub / card reader, it’s a simple and lightweight photo backup solution for travel / short trips.  Has 4 main features: Check, Backup, Integrity check, History.  "Check" gives a brief overview / size estimate, and also confirms whether basic conditions (e.g. available space) are met.  "Backup" copies files from source to destination. You have 3 options regarding folder structure on destination: • use original (same as source) folder structure • group files into folders by file creation date (YYYY-MM-DD, example: 2026-02-10/DSC_5555.JPG) or • group files by file creation date and type (YYYY-MM-DD/type, example: 2026-02-10/JPG/DSC_5555.JPG) There's also a filter feature - you can exclude files created before certain date (e.g. if you want to skip files created before the trip, but don't want to delete them from source). Incremental backup is supported as well - matching existing files are skipped, if size (and file creation time, depending on selected setting) is the same. Also, if you're using same backup source / destination each time, app will remember and pre-select them on startup, so in ideal scenario, backup can be performed just by clicking couple of buttons. "Integrity check" is optional, compares checksums of corresponding files from source folder to the ones in the destination folder. "History" is optional (can be enabled via settings) - saves (locally) basic statistics (date, number of files, etc.) about performed backups, which you can review later. App doesn't need a network connection and does not support backup to network locations (cloud etc.).
