Sanho Corporation, creators of the “Hyper” Line of Apple accessories, portable power and storage products, announced today CloudFTP, a small pocket-sized portable adapter that enables the wireless transfer of movies, music, photos, documents, and other files to the iPad, iPhone, and other WiFi-enabled devices from USB storage devices (cameras, USB hard drives, flash drives, card readers, and other USB mass storage devices, etc.) without using a computer.
Finally there’s a way to share USB files with iPads, iPhones, the Cloud and other devices that don’t have a USB connection without accessing a computer! Small enough to bring anywhere, even in your pocket, CloudFTP is the most useful tool available for iPad and iPhone users to easily access their data on USB devices. CloudFTP creates a WiFi hotspot to stream and transfer data from the most commonly used USB storage devices, turning these devices into a wireless file server. CloudFTP can also automatically connect to the Internet to backup and synchronize USB data with popular online Cloud storage services, like iCloud, Dropbox and box.net, or it can join an existing WiFi network to share files with other devices on the same network.

CloudFTP will be displayed for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at the Sanho Booth #4606, January 10-13, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it will be awarded as an International CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree.
“We are honored to win the CES Innovations Honoree award for CloudFTP,” said Daniel Chin, President of Sanho Corporation and Inventor of CloudFTP. “Almost everyone owns some form of USB storage device, from flash drives to portable hard drives.
