It's Great, But Not Perfect
***READ THIS FIRST*** Another review said that basic work related files were not supported, I can gladly say that is FALSE. The user guide for the product is a PDF. I have even tried Microsoft Document files and PowerPoint files and they all work well. Okay, now you can read my review. Review: I just received my Sandisk Connect Wireless Stick today in the mail, and so far I love it. This review won't be too long, since I haven't experienced more than 24 hours with this product yet, so I don't have too much to say about it. Build Quality: To start off, the build is quite nice and I like the texture of the flash drive as well. One design flaw to me is that you can only put the cap on one way, so I've mixed it up a few times already, oh well. Functionality: Next, functionality, it works just as you expect it to. I loaded up Iron Man 3 and streamed it to my iPhone, no lag at all, even when I skip throughout the movie. Pictures and music work well also, there is an option to create a slideshow for your photos, which is a nice touch. You are able to download pictures or videos to your device from the flash drive as well. The app has a built in music player, but you cannot skip throughout the song, which seems odd to me. It has worked well for me on all the major platforms, smartphones (through their app), tablets and computers. My biggest complaint is that the connector is USB 2.0, I think Sandisk really could have made this product stellar with a USB 3.0 connector. The App: The app performs okay, it definitely isn't 100% polished, but it works. I have found a few bugs, which aren't huge and I'm sure they will be fixed soon enough. In the app you can upload or download files to the flash drive, I haven't had any problems with this. Another cool feature is AutoBackUp for your devices camera roll. The flash drive can store single photos or an entire album, and even videos. After you're done taking pictures and videos, the next time you connect to the flash drive it will begin backing them up. Battery: Battery life has been phenomenal. I left this thing unplugged and turned off for more than two weeks and it's still got 90% charge (left it at 93%). Really can't complain about that. With moderate use I got a little more than a week. And with heavy use (I'm talking like you're on this thing all day) I got 3-4 days. My final word for the battery life is, wonderful. Well, that's about it for now. Thanks for reading!

Amazing!
This is the first time using a jump drive like this and I must say it is AMAZING! Love it. Charges fast. Transfers fast. Excellent storage space. Great price too. I did get mine on sale with Best Buy. Definitely worth the money.

Cool tool!
This is great storage for situations where you can't connect physically with another device. One tip though, if you have your device set to connect to the most stable/strongest signal, you'll have trouble connecting to your Flash Drive. I ran into that issue with my phone which kept reconnecting to my network Wi-Fi which was a much stronger signal. Once I disabled "Smart Network Switch", the Flash Drive connected right up. 200GB is a lot of room to store movies or whatever you wish to carry with you. I always buy SanDisk and never have problems. A physical connection might be faster but there are times it's not convenient or with some device it's not even an option. This is a wonderful alternative.

Love it
Absolutely love this product. Have already recommended it to other friends. Took it on a cruise and was able to back up all the pictures in my phone and my camera.

Ok flash drive
Was kinda easy to use but is not expandable. Needs a newer app with more features.
