How are you getting data off of an iPad?

[lehmanp00]

I was curious how everyone is getting data (video clips, pics, docs etc..) off of an iPad to share with others? Right now in my school district, we are just plugging them into a PC and copy/pasting to SMB shares or whatnot. Has anyone used a 3rd party tool (like http://www.accellion.com/) as a "Enterprise" cloud solution?

Take a look at http://www.grouplogic.com/enterprise-file-sharing/file-sync/
Think Dropbox, but on your own servers...

We actually did a trial of Mobile Echo. We, in the IT department, thought it was great. However, the users did NOT like having to login. Especially with the younger grades.

activEcho looks pretty interesting. How well does it work in practice? We tried a similar system called Egnyte a while ago which looked great but was very buggy and unstable.

We are testing with MobileEcho 3.5 and there is a way to save password. What version did you try?

The four fields for logging in on the 3.5 version are Server, display name, Username and Save Password.

So it's there.. should work fine for your kids now lehmanp00

lehmanp00 Other than logging in I'm aware of no app that allows people to see their files without logging in.. am I missing something in what you're saying? They want to see their files but not log in?

whoops.. double post correction. ;)

The problem is that we have a bunch of Mobile Labs of iPads. Multiple classes of kids using the Labs every day. Having them login/logout is not ideal. In a one-to-one situation (with our staff) that works fine.

We are still tying to find ways. I thought I would send a broadcast question out to the community to see what people are doing.
