Program for iPhone: USB Drive

One of the main trump critics iPhone It was the inability to use the smartphone as a friendly flash drive, which you can simply plug in the usb-port and include home movies, music or essay, taken from the other. Naturally, the implementation of such a function in Cupertino are not expected in the future, so we can safely to congratulate the owners of a device, do the jailbreak, because they have a freeware utility called USB Drive.

Immediately after the installation of the application repository http://apt.dmytro.me/ (This can be done is through Cydia) and run it, the user will be asked to select a mode work program and create a partition that will be mounted to your computer when you connect usb-cable.

Currently available 3 modes of operation of the program. To switch between them requires iPhone reboot:

• The first of these, Default, the device assumes normal operation. It is possible to continue to use your phone as a modem to recognize it in iPhoto as a camera (PTP, Picture Transfer Protocol) and sync with iTunes.

• The second mode, Drive + iTunes, works only with Mac OS X. In this case, the interface will be replaced by another PTP (Mass Storage), that will allow to use the device as a USB drive. In this case, synchronization with iTunes and XCode debugger will continue to work.
• From the name of the third mode - Drive Only - it becomes clear that the device will be presented in the system only in the usb-drive mode. However, it will be visible even in Mac OS X, at least on Windows, even on Linux. It is also important to note that in order to restore a backup from iTunes will have to change the mode to either of the first two.

Creating a partition takes only a few minutes. To do this, click on the button titled Create Disk, and then enter the name of the section that will be displayed in the operating system, and its size.

Making sure that all the parameters are correct, you can safely press the Create button and wait for the end of the process.

That's all, we can only select the mode USB drive, restart the iPhone and reconnect it to the computer. In this case, the system should see another drive that will be called exactly as you call him at creation.
