Backing up OP1 files on the road - without a computer - 1 way (ravpower file hub + sd card or drive)

OP-1
#1

THis is likely very old hat, but
WOuld be keen to hear how folks if not using computers are backing up their op1 files especially when travelling - and travelling sans computer.

Here’s what i’m doing currently -
main components are a wireless hub (a RAVpower) and a thumbdrive and/or portable harddrive or SD card (sd card reader in hub).

Here’s how it words for me:
– the RAVpower wireless filehub to ipad (RP-WDO3)
(in the UK you can get these on amazon

and in the US you can read about 'em here

Plop the Op-1 into disk mode,
plug into the filehub with USB,
choose the hub wifi on phone or whatever
open up filehub app

choose the filehub icon you’ll see the USBdisk2_volume1 as the op1 folder
tap that
you’ll see the OP1 folders
copy whatever to the phone/tablet device

pull out the op1 put in a harddrive
move files from phone to drive or thumb drives

OR just put in an SD card into the reader and copy the files to the card. whatever works - so many data choices.

Anyone have other approaches?
By the way tried to add images but got “upload failed” dang

is there another alternative how to back up op1 files to ipad air 2019? I cannot find this ravpower hub anywhere.

#3

your ipad isn’t that old u should be able to just do it natively with the files app.
iOS devices have been supporting disk drives via USB for a bit now

#4

it works now, it has something to do with the order how you connect both devices.

I bought a Kingston MobileLite for the same purpose (my phone is old). But yes, newish iOS devices should work with a USB adapter

On a related note, the manager in this Reddit post can work quite nicely

If you have a Raspberry Pi you can use OP1GO to backup without a phone or computer. I recently put together a similar setup for the OP-Z too (OPZGO)
