The document discusses using an iPod as a USB drive. The author's hypothesis was that since iPods can store music and video files, they may be able to store other file types. Research showed that non-iOS iPods can store files when using a hidden iTunes option, while iOS iPods require apps like Files and iCloud Drive. The conclusion is that iPods can function as USB drives with certain modifications for the iPod model.

2. My question was: Could I use the iPOD to store information as if it were an USB drive? 3. My first hypothesis is: If the iPOD can store music and movies to be played, and they are files, then it is possible that it can store other types of files that are not exactly music or videos. 4. I found interesting information in these sources: 1) appletoolbox.com (that is a website about apple devices) 2) apple.com (that is the official apple website with plenty of information about its devices). 5. In these two sources I found these two very important pieces of information about my question: 1) According to this website, the iPod can be used to store information as if it were an USB drive; however, that is only possible with non-iOS iPods like iPod nano, Shuffle and Classic and by using a hidden option in iTunes. 2) iPod touch devices that can work with the latest versions of iOS can be used to store information as if it were an USB only by using an app that is called Files app and another app called iCloud Drive. 6. This is my final conclusion: My final conclusion is that YES, it is possible to use the ipod as if it were an USB drive but for non-IOS versions, you need to turn on a hidden option in iTUNES and for IOS devices, like the ipod touch, you need to install and use in your computer an application called iCLOUD DRIVE. The ipod wasn’t made to be used as if it were an USB drive but you can still use it that way doing some modifications, the ones I just mentioned.
