Sandisk Connect Wireless is a product line of flash drives with Wi-Fi capability, enabling them to be controlled & accessed over network aside from USB. | |||
'''SanDisk Wireless Drive''' and '''SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick''' are devices of these series, and they are produced by Wearable, Inc., which acquired by [[Western Digital]] in June 2018. Both of products were derived from Wearable Inc.’s AirStash wireless server platform. | |||
These devices broadcast an Wi-Fi access point, allowing connected devices to manage contents of the disk from Sandisk's mobile apps or alternatively, visiting the web server locally hosted by the device. {{ProductLineCargo | |||

Sandisk announced that they do no longer support their Connect Wireless Flash Drive app to "migrate users to newer products, services, and apps"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wireless Flash Drive End of Support |url=https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/48977 |url-status=live}}</ref>. | |||
Even though these devices are still usable to this day since they expose a local web server to manage the device over network and manage the files stored on the disk, the full functionality was only available in their now delisted mobile apps. | |||
