From what i read earlier, the vega is setup (hw) as a slave - essentially it is a usb stick :)

It doesn't read USB sticks it either needs a lot of software tweaking to do that or a Dock. Easiest way to do that is hook it up to the PC with the USB cable or get it over wireless either pushing from the PC if you have a samba server app going on the Vega or pulling from the vega using a network capable file browser like Astro with the SMB module. Or remove or replace the microSD with one that has the content you want put on it from the PC with an appropriate adapter.

Or use Drop Box, which is great :)

can i ask what does this usb camera option in settings do, also in root explorer there is a folder called usbdisk, what is this used for.

[Guest fpvmark]

Just downloaded drop box that does not seem to work at all

You have installed Dropbox on your desktop too and linked the Vega?

Then its just a case of a long press on the file to download it to the Vega.

Doh no i haven lol shame i cant do it through usb on the vega without the use of a pc

Another option I use when I forget the USB cable is File Expert. The major function of the app is a file & app manager. You can make the Vega into a File server over HTTP (access via a browser; the URL to use is provided by the app) or FTP. A quick way to transfer files.

I still think its easier just using samba and windows tools if you have a Vista or Win7 PC on the other end.
