Wireless USB storage?

RDCorporation · 20 Feb 2023 at 09:19

Hi all,

We have a machine in a workshop that we use a USB stick for to transfer files from PC to the machine.
While it's not much trouble, we do it a lot throughout the day.
Which left me wondering if there are any wireless storage solutions? For example, I plug a USB stick into the machine but I can access it wirelessly from my PC within the same workshop?

I've seen Sandisk Connect on eBay but apparently it's been discountinued so not sure it would work as intended for my use?

Anyone has a solution to this?

Thanks!

If they are both Windows OS, you could always use Remote Desktop, it's pretty simple to use all you need are the IP, Username and password.

Not sure to be honest, it's a big industrial laser machine, it just loads it's own software on the attached screen so I don't really want to start messing about with it

Thank you for your suggestion though!

Which laser/controller is it? Most allow connection by LAN. Depends on which software you use too e.g. Lightburn, RDWorks, LaserCut etc

If they're connected, just set up a shared folder so you can access it from the other PC. No need to ferry USB sticks back and forth.
