Can iPhone receive and store files as if it were a USB thumbdrive?

I have an external device w/ a USB port. The device periodically writes files to a USB flash drive in the USB port.

I would like to be able to plug an iPhone into the USB port and have the files written and stored on the iPhone instead of a USB flash drive. The intention is to have an iPhone app running when the phone is plugged into the USB port that would detect when files are written and would then process the files.

Is this possible? If so, any thoughts or references on info related to this area.

Thanks, Chris

You can download and use app called FileStore. This app helps to use iPhone or iPad to be used liked a USB drive

No, you can't do what you want without jailbreaking your iPhone.

You can only write files to your Sved Photos folder in the iPhone. If you want to save them in some other place you sould use some specific app to upload files from your computer through the network to your iPhone.

By default you can read/write files to the same directory where the camera stores pictures. If you jailbreak the iphone, you could read/write to any directory.
