WM5torage
WM5torage is a Windows phone freeware program that will export the flash memory card inside the smartphone as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary “usb disk”) – effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. Take note that speed will be dependent on your PDA/smartphone hardware – it will be high-speed USB only if your device actually high-speed capable (most are not), and also most devices have quite slow flash writers. Some devices with proper hardware support perform in spectacular speed though (for example HTC Athena works in high USB 2 speed if you export a microdrive). However, please keep in mind that WM5torage needs a fully. should work on Windows Mobile 5 and above.
Change Log
- “Two-way” – ability to simultaneously access the card both from Windows Mobile and from USB, so when you connect USB the card will not disappear on the phone! This however has one limitation – one of them always must be read only access, to prevent corruption.
So two scenarios are possible:
1. Enable “Read-Only”. The card will be read-only from USB. However, Windows Mobile will still have full access to the card.
2. Disable “Read-Only”. The card will be writeable from USB. Windows Mobile will still see the card, but will be unable to write to it.
Two-way is not a replacement for ActiveSync, this is primarily to allow people to still use some semi-static data (ringtones/etc) from storage card while using it in mass drive mode. Files written by USB will not immediately visible by Windows Mobile, and vice versa.
- Proper support for device icon and description in the File Explorer. So device will not be just generic “Removable Drive (F:)”. It will have proper description and even big Vista icon (if your device is modern enough to expose custom sync icon artwork).
