Kingston has unveiled a new addition to their range of external hard drives this week with the launch of their new wireless drive called the Wi-Drive, which has been designed to provide iOS and Android mobile users with a convenient way to access more storage wirelessly.
The Kingston Wi-Drive offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of extra storage in a small form factor device measuring just 121.5mm x 61.8mm x 9.8mm. This compact size makes it highly portable, fitting easily into a pocket or bag, making it an ideal solution for users who need additional storage on the go.

Features and Functionality
Kingston has made their Wi-Drive accessible via any Internet browser or via one of the free Wi-Drive Apps designed specifically to provide access and easily share the content on your Wi-Drive with your devices. The Wi-Drive can be shared by up to three people simultaneously, making it a versatile tool for collaborative work or sharing media with friends and family. Kingston explains:
“Access Wi-Drive through any Internet browser or download one of the free Wi-Drive Apps to access and easily share the content on your Wi-Drive.”
The Wi-Drive supports a variety of file formats, including documents, photos, videos, and music, making it a comprehensive solution for all your storage needs. The device also features a rechargeable battery that provides up to four hours of continuous use, ensuring that you have ample time to access and share your files without needing to recharge frequently.
Practical Applications and Use Cases
The Kingston Wi-Drive is particularly useful for users who have devices with limited internal storage. For example, many iOS devices do not support expandable storage, making the Wi-Drive an excellent option for users who need more space for their apps, photos, and videos. Similarly, Android users can benefit from the additional storage without the need to swap out microSD cards.
In educational settings, the Wi-Drive can be used by students and teachers to share educational materials, presentations, and multimedia content seamlessly. Business professionals can use the Wi-Drive to carry important documents and presentations, ensuring they have access to their files during meetings and business trips.
Amazon is now selling the Wi-Drive for around $176 for the 128GB version and $110 for the smaller 64GB version. These prices make the Wi-Drive a cost-effective solution for expanding your device’s storage capacity without breaking the bank.
The Kingston Wi-Drive is a versatile and practical solution for anyone in need of additional storage for their mobile devices. Its compact size, ease of use, and ability to share content with multiple users make it an excellent choice for both personal and professional use. Whether you’re a student, a business professional, or simply someone who needs more space for your media files, the Wi-Drive offers a convenient and reliable way to expand your storage capacity.
