Whit this set up, your files are on the hard disk and you access them with the iPad, via wi-fi. They dont have to get through the Photo App, but can be used directly through Snapseed (or else),then, when modified, saved in Photo App.
On the « cloud » WD software you can see the jpeg and Raw files and choose which to bring on the iPad to edit.
You can also use Affinity Photo or other softwares, without getting in the paying « Clouds » of Lightroom or even Apple.
You keep the usual file size you’ve set your camera to.

I like the « mobility » of the process, while ensuring your files are backed up (the hard disk has an SD slot and copy the files automatically)...  8)

Does this work fine with RAW files, seems to be a nice solution for light traveling?
I will have to use a QXD card reader in the USB port.

It works with raw files (the Passport combo). But a Df raw files takes a minute to load on the iPad, a full sized file from a D 850 might take some time (it’s more an iPad problem then the WD Cloud one). The USB port of the hard disk is a bit slower then the dedicated SD port (USB 2.0).

Still, I feel the whole process is manageable, but for quick use, I resort to NEF + JPEG, using the JPEGs to show a quick diaporama to family  :o
The real advantage is the hard disk to saveguard the files, it’s batteries allow for 10 hours of continuous use, but this week I only had to top it a bit after six days of files saving and working on a few selected files...

The unusually hot and dry summer has precipitated early and out-of-season changes in a number of species. Recently the rosebay willowherb (fireweed) Chamaenerion angustifolium  started its massive dispersal of feather light seed parachutes. These are delicate and fragile creations up close, here floating on a blue water surface.

Thanks for the information, I may have buy to one for our trip to Krüger Park, mostly to make back-up, but also to save weight.
