I have a product idea that I troll my IT friends with. A set of four thumb drives that sync to each other over their own WiFi network. The ratio of works super duper to terrifies the IT staff is off the charts.

Well that wouldn't work because Wi-Fi is the wrong choice. Buuuuuuuut if you gave them cellular data plans? Now you're onto something. The Boron by particle comes to mind as a low cost dev option. The USB should let you talk to a computer as a flash drive, you can throw an SD card on/external to it for storage, and use the modem to sync to the others. As long as they're all on battery, should be fine.

  Why? Generate some sort of peer to peer wlan, join up and sync away.

    Because if you're within Wi-Fi range of each other, just use Wi-Fi to sync. The product would fail to sell
