WM5Storage shares the storage card as a USB drive - seems to be commonly used for the purpose you describe. Problem is I don't think you can see the internal phone files using it. Good luck. tmb

As you stated, Windows XP supports USB storage devices natively. That is not the issue. The issue is that the USB storage device inside my phone does not present itself as such to the operating system. There are many USB devices with built in storage that DO present themselves as USB storage devices to the OS. I have a camera, a flash drive, and an MP3 player that do. Imagine having to install full client software (not just a driver) on every computer you wanted to use your USB flash drive on. That would defeat the whole point because you would need to carry an installation CD on you at all times and get permission to install the program on the host computer even though you may only use it one time.

I assumed that something as computer-like and data-centric as a WM6 PDA would present itself as a USB storage device. The solution they provide (ActiveSync) is just as unacceptabe as having to lug around and install a client software CD for your USB flash drive. Actually It's worse because ActiveSync does not truly mount your device as a local drive. You can't even execute programs off of it for example.
How is this thread still going on?

I posted the way to make this work. Do I need to come install it for you, and give a public demonstration? I will only charge you $15.

I will repeat. Install Card Export. There is a CAB file posted someone, if you search. If you keep the CAB on your storage card or even a hyperlink or a ton of other options you can do this all from your phone. After you install Card Export, UNINSTALL it. Now install WM5Storage.

I know you are using WM6. I know you are using a PPC-6800. I am too, trust me it works.

EDIT. Next time search, this was posted in a thread that was closed by a moderator just days ago. He linked to the appropriate thread.
