External WI-FI storage help for AUDIO

I'm sorry , i cannot think of anything that actually exists. you will need more people to respond to you here.


if it was music then you could use itunes home sharing to store music on itunes and play it over wifi

or you could store music on itunes match and play it over wifi

maybe you would need iCloud drive or drop box or something like that and put the stuff on iCloud or the cloud

but as far as wav and iff files, sound banks for like editing on an external hard drive, i don't think you can do that, unless maybe the external hard drive solution comes with an app

Thanks for reply,
maybe I didn't explain well...NOT editing on external drive/storage...I want to be able to listen/preview sample(s) and to load them into Audio Share..where I can edit them and send to a sample based app.
I want to use it as a "wireless storage"...

I am new to Apple and I thought (probably naively), that the external wi-fi device would show up on ipad screen, I can open it and see content, since it is audio file, play it in AudioShare (or some wav player) and copy/paste it into Audio share...

Do I make sense?... Basically, preview a sample (on external device) and if I like it "send it" into Audio Share. (Copy/paste)
That's all.

What other ways are possible for external storage? Most of these wifi things come with an ios app to use with...

Thanks;-)

no it doesn't work like that. it won't show up on your home screen. like a computer. what you need to do is look for an app that works with the files you have and then you can either see if their is an app that does what you want that works with icloud drive, or an app that allows you to sync files to it with itunes.

you will most likely need an iPad with greater storage capacity.

there is no way to really directly connect an external hard disk to an iPad

it requires some kind of app

you can't connect a usb hard drive to an iPad or any other usb devices because usb is "Client / Server " and both the iPad and the hard disk are both "clients" and they need a "server" to talk to.

videolan vlc is the greatest app for playing video. because you can use itunes to sync files to it, or you can use wifi to send videos to it, or you can use DLNA and network streaming. and it works with google drive and drop box. but it keeps getting deleted from the itunes store and coming back from different authors.

if they had something like videolan vlc that worked with the stuff you want to use, that is what you would need
