DataCase
Turn your iPhone and iPod touch into a wireless drive and file viewer with DataCase!
Drag and Drop:
DataCase works directly with Finder and Bonjour to make saving files to your iPhone easy. Start DataCase and your Mac already knows that it's there. Drag and drop files just like it was another hard drive.
Mac or PC:
DataCase works with any computer that has wireless capabilities or is connected to a wireless network. Browse, view, upload, and download your files from finder on a Mac using AFP or from windows explorer on a PC. You can even save files to your iPhone or iPod Touch using industry standard FTP. No external applications necessary.
Security:
DataCase allows you to create multiple volumes to separate your data any way you like. Each volume is independent and allows you to define how it can be accessed. You can set read, write, and browse permissions for each, or even make it invisible to anyone but you. Volumes can also be set up to alert you before allowing a connection over the network.
View your files:
No computer available? Why not view your files on your iPhone! DataCase makes it easy to view your Documents. Page up and down, or jump to the top or bottom. DataCase even remembers where you last left off in a document so you don't have to scroll back to where you were to continue reading.
Supported file types include:
- Microsoft Office
- PDF
- Text
- Images
- Html
- Audio
- Video
Please note that Audio and Video playback is limited to formats that are supported by the iPhone OS.
Internationalized:
DataCase is localized for English, French, German, and Chinese, with more on the way!

I've heard from two beta testers that when Avatron Software's new Air Sharing app appears on the App Store, it's going to walk all over this. I hope that's true, because DataCase, Files, and MobileFinder crash all the time. Before I tried DataCase, I was excited because it used AFP just like a file server. But there's a reason iDisk uses WebDAV (like Files and Air Sharing) instead of AFP... if you lose a connection in DataCase for just a second (like when you answer the phone), you lose the connection and the file unmounts! With WebDAV servers like Files and Air Sharing, you have like two minutes before Finder or Windows Explorer asks you if you want to disconnect.
And DataCase crashes on me when I drag WebArch or HTML files onto it. And it's got a big inexplicable donut on its main page.
Air Sharing's going to have syntax-colored formatting of source code files. I'd buy it just for that.
Sorry, do I sound like somebody who recently blew around $25 in the App Store on file-sharing apps that just don't live up to their potential?
This is pretty handy, though I've found it sometimes won't work in public WiFI areas (like a hotel room) because of Firewalls. When it does work, it's fast and pretty simple.
