How To Use Your iPhone As a USB Drive

     You know, iOS is a system that has a lot of advantages but the fact that it is a closed operating system blocks some interesting features. RoqyUSB7 is a new tweak available in Cydia that will allow you to use your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as a USB drive so you can store all the files you want without having to go through iTunes.

     Once the tweak installed on your device, go into the settings of your device then RoqyUSB7.  Enable USB Mass Storage, and then press No Disk and create disk space in which you drop your various documents.

     The free version allows you to create a space of 128 MB of storage, and you have to pay $6,8 (once) if you want to remove this limit. Once the disk image is created, your iDevice turns into a real USB key!

RoqyUSB7 works fine with all OS, but on Windows you must follow these steps :

1. Plug your iDevice with mass storage activated.
2. On Windows, open Device Manager, go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, find Apple USB Mobile Device Driver.
3. Right click on it and choose « update driver ». Choose « manually install driver », « select from list » and you’ll see 2 drivers, the Apple one and the USB Mass storage one.
4. Choose the USB Mass storage one and continue.
5. If the installation of the driver takes too long, disconnect your iDevice. The driver will be installed. Connect it again and you are done.

RoqyUSB7 is available on Cydia from the ModMyi repo. However, be sure to keep a few hundred MB free for new applications!
