My mother-in-law has an ipad and no laptop or desktop computer. It's the 16gb model and she's running out of room. She's wanting to keep the 2400 pictures she has on there in case she ever wants to look through them or have prints made in the future.
I can back up her ipad on my desk top and put them on flash drives or SD cards and she can take them to the store to have prints made but this won't allow her to view them remotely in case she ever decides to look at them on her ipad. She has the camera adapter that she can put an SD card in but the ipad will only allow her to import and not view.
I found this Seagate Goflex Satellite drive and think it might be the ticket.
Seagate Satellite Wireless | Seagate
From my understanding, this will automatically back up her ipad and then she will be able to delete the pictures on her ipad and then use the Seagate app to view the pictures now stored on the drive. Is there something I'm missing here? Amazon has 500gb ones for around $120 and I know that's more than she'll want to spend but it's far cheaper in the long run of buying multiple flash drives and this will give her much more utility in being able to view pictures from her ipad.
I know she can use icloud but at 5gb, that's only a short term solution.
