Asked 2 months ago by Sara.

• A:Answer Hi Sarah, please know that the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go cannot be used as storage while you're actively recording video. iPhones record directly to their internal storage; the drive is designed for backup, transfer, and freeing up space after recording. If you plan to shoot long videos, you may check out the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD Type-C, compatible with iOS/iPadOS 17+ and Android™ 14+.
