![]() Since starting a 365-day project for B&W images, I have been putting each image in a folder on my MyPassport drive, but since I didn’t have it with me on this trip, I decided to store the images in their own folder on my memory stick. When I tap on the folder icon, I then see icons for all the folders and files on the memory stick. Since I have a USB memory stick inserted into my TripMate, I can see a folder representing that device on the TripMate’s home screen. Just as with the WD MyPassport Wi-Fi drive, this not only gives you access to the TripMate (and any device attached to it), but also out to the Internet using the wi-fi network to which you have connected it. In Settings you can rename your TripMate - I chose “Booz-TripMateNano” - choose security options, and connect the HooToo TripMate to your home or any public wi-fi network. You should see the TripMate listed as a wi-fi hot spot. Once you have downloaded and installed the app and plugged in the HooToo TripMate, you go to your device’s wi-fi settings. To access the TripMate Nano from your mobile device (IOS or Android), you need to download the free app called HooToo TripMate. For my testing of the TripMate Nano, I used a 16GB memory stick. If you want to plug it into a wall socket, as I do, you must have a USB power plug such as used with mobile phones and tablets, Kindles, etc. As mentioned, it also has a power port and comes with a short USB cable so you can attach it to a computer to power it. The HooToo TripMate Nano really is tiny, measuring only 2” X 2.25” (approximately 5X5.7cm)! It has one USB port, through which you can attach a simple, little memory stick as illustrated in the accompanying pictures or a USB hard drive. Let me first discuss how I see myself using this tiny little giant of a device and then I will address its second and very practical use as a wi-fi network access point. It has two main purposes: (1) to act as an wi-fi accessible host device to which a storage unit is attached and (2) as a wi-fi hot spot when connected to a local network. And, like the WD MyPassport Wi-Fi drive, you can plug any USB device, such as a USB flash drive, into it and access content on that device. It also has no storage space, but does, as the WD MyPassport Wi-Fi drive, broadcast a wi-fi hotspot to which you can connect your mobile device. The HooToo TripMate Nano must be plugged into a power source to work. I took it, its USB cable and power plug, and a USB flash drive out of my bag and plugged it all in. Last week, when we went to Kiawah Island, SC, I forgot to take my WD MyPassport Wi-Fi drive so I had the perfect opportunity to try out the HooToo TripMate Nano, which was packed in my camera bag. ▲Note: No need to change any parameters once it becomes an Access Point.I have been wanting to give my HooToo TripMate Nano a test and do a write up on it, but have kept putting it off.
