Sandisk Connect Wireless is a product line of flash drives with Wi-Fi capability, enabling them to be controlled & accessed over a network instead of relying on 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 products were derived from Wearable Inc.’s AirStash wireless server platform.
These devices broadcast a 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.

Consumer-impact summary
Sandisk announced that they will no longer support their Connect Wireless Flash Drive app in order to "migrate users to newer products, services, and apps"[1].
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 de-listed mobile apps.
Incidents
On March 18, 2021, Sandisk removed the SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive app from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and you will no longer be able to download the app[citation needed].
