Question regarding wireless hard-drives

[u_wot_m8]

Is this the right place to post this? Who knows.

My question is, if you have a hard-drive such as the Seagate Wireless Plus where you connect via wi-fi to access the files on a smartphone, what happens when you can't use the HDD as a passthrough for wi-fi? What if you're relying on 3g for data yet the wi-fi for the hard drive contents? Will the smart phone realise that the wi-fi has no internet? Or will it try and draw the internet from the drive and get confused and then you'd have to disconnect the drive to use 3g?

 

If anybody knows, thank you very much.

Yes. It is the right place. It may default to the 3G connection.
