Leef Bridge USB Flash Drive transfers files directly to Android devices



Leef Technology released a USB flash drive with enhanced functionality that can share and copy files to Android phones and tablets, PCs and Macs. 

The Leef Bridge Flash Drive can transfer files between devices without cables, batteries, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cloud services.It can let copy files from Android 4.0 or higher device with micro-USB connector, then transfer them to a Mac or PC by popping out the larger end. But in order for this to work, the Android device must have OTG (On The Go) capability.

It can also play music and video directly from the flash memory that makes transfer of files not essential. The speeds were less remarkable though. Transfers to and from devices were very easy and playback from flash memory is seamless. Unlike most slidable USB drives, the Leef Bridge is a little larger. Its main body has a lockable sliding cover that exposes one connection or the other, or protects them both.

Leef Bridge requires Android Jelly Bean OS 4.1 or later for smartphones and Android tablets, it also works on Win 8 tablet and of course on Mac and PC that are compatible as a standard USB flash drive. It currently comes in 16GB and 32GB and in the near future 64GB.

This Leef Bridge USB Flash Drive is perfect for techies with Android devices and persons who are always on the go.
