Aura ONE Sending epub's to Aura One via wifi (iPhone)

Gibbo · 03-20-2022, 04:29 AM

Morning All, For a few years I've been sending epub's to my Aura One via android using the app "Share via HTTP".

The method I've been doing is: Connect both devices onto the same network, open app pick file, on the Aura open browser type IP download, simple.

I've moved to the iPhone and downloaded a few transfer apps but doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have a better method?.

What is the error you are seeing? If the iPhone can run an app that acts as a web server, then the device should be able to connect to it. And have you tested downloading from a computer or something else to see if it works at all?

My first thought is firewalls which is why to test from elsewhere. The other problem is that the browser on the devices does not support all functions that modern browsers do. If the app does it in a way the browser does not support, then the browser cannot download the file. I know nothing about the iOS or Android apps to be able to suggest ones that might work.

Hi David, thanks for responding, actually the only error msg I get "Connection Lost" and I tried a few!!. Last night looking through the forum I found fsantini's post about the Kobocloud hack and remembered I already had it installed

installed the update and updated Dropbox share link and it's working great

.

Thanks again.
