Leef Technology Introduces Bridge, First USB Flash Drive for Android Phones and Tablets, Macs and PCs

Leef Technology has announced Leef Bridge, the first USB flash drive for file sharing between Macs and PCs as well as Android phones and tablets (regrettably, Apple’s iPhones and iPads don’t have standard USB ports). Leef Bridge is a simple, innovative USB flash drive that allows users to easily transfer files to other devices without the need for cables, cloud services, Wi-Fi or any type of data connection.

Leef Bridge represents a major technical achievement
Leef Bridge features a micro USB connector and full-size USB connector that access the same memory so users can share content, photos, videos, music and documents to and from any compatible device. The memory utilized within Leef Bridge has fast read and write speeds to ensure slick video and music playback directly from the USB drive, without the interruptions or delays that accompany low-grade USB flash drive products. Designed in California by the Leef design team, Leef Bridge boasts a unique design featuring an exposed slide-and-lock tray, which enables users to easily switch to the USB connector appropriate for their device connection.

“Leef Bridge represents a major technical achievement,” says Jonny Anderson, partner and director of product design at Leef. “With all products we develop, we want them to represent something people want to own, for their functionality, design and style. Leef Bridge makes managing content on a phone as simple as plugging in a USB flash drive. It is really a life hack product.”

Leef Bridge is currently compatible with mobile devices operating Android Jelly Bean OS 4.1 or higher and a micro USB On-The-Go (OTG) connector. Metago, the company behind ASTRO File Manager the most downloaded content management application in the Android ecosystem has teamed up with Leef to release an updated version of their app that provides users with a seamless experience using Leef Bridge and ASTRO File Manager.

Instructions to download the app from Google Play are included on Leefs product packaging. Although ASTRO File Manager is not required to be able to use Leef Bridge, it is recommended by the Leef design team for its intuitive file management system.

Leef Bridge is the latest addition to the company’s product set, which includes quality USB flash drives that demonstrate a variety of innovative materials and design features. The company’s approach to design was recognized in 2012 by PC Magazine Russian Edition, which awarded Leef Fuse the first patented USB drive with magnetic closure Best of the Year 2012 in the flash drive category.

Leef Bridge is initially available for purchase in the USA at http://www.amazon.com and http://www.2Leef.com for a suggested retail price of $17.99 for the 16GB model and $28.99 for the 32GB model.

In addition, Leef Bridge is available for purchase at leading retailers in several international markets, including Russia, Asia and Central Europe.
