Was running very low on storage space but I didn’t have hundreds of dollars to put out on a new iPhone yet so I seen this and bought it and boy am I happy because I really didn’t want or need another new iPhone all I needed was more storage space and I couldn’t be any happier with my purchase. Thank You Best Buy You Rock!

Highly recommend this device for transferring photos and files from iPhone 14 and iPhone 16 Pro. It’s great for those with low memory or storage on their iPhones or Android phones. Give it a 20 out of 10 rating.

Good Drive—slow iPhone to drive transfer

The drive is sleek and cool looking. The cover slides easily. It does seem to take a long time to transfer photos from my iPhone to the drive. So I don’t use that feature; but since having that feature didn’t cost any more than other drives with the same 2 connectors—lightning and USB-C—I’m not too disappointed at the slow iPhone to drive transfer speed. It is great as a portable backup drive.

SanDisk memory stick made transferring my photos off the iPhone an easy project. I needed to free up some space and the SanDisk copied Live Photos as well as regular photos and contacts easily. I recommend SanDisk to anyone trying to free up some space or backup their files from an IOS device.

This is sturdy for sure, but it gets overwhelmed with uploading things. It has stop uploading things now, and it won’t tell you it can’t until you’ve chosen what you want, highlighted it in the app and then started the process. I don’t know what got saved on it and what has not, because it craps out halfway through, which makes me feel I wasted time trying. I bought a real external hard drive. This was a bandaid fix anyway.
For small jobs, it will do. The ease of having lightning to usbc is awesome. My need was more than this can handle, but it got me past the point of stuck-I was 7nable o take photos on my iPhone. It allowed me to create room without losing pictures.

purchased this drive to get the pictures off my iphone. Now that apple has ruined the interface with itunes and back up to your own computer. Rather than push all your stuff to their icloud. Nice size to keep all your needed memory's safe so you can transfer to your computer and or to print them out as needed. This is/was way overpriced to begin with so I waited until Bestbuy had them on sale during their best deals of the day promotion. and free 2 day shipping. Thanks Bestbuy

App is buggy on iphone 13 app and very tricky to figure out. App does not work on ipad pro but works through files ios app BUT you cannot see private storage. Drive works perfect on pc but on mac it barely works. I mostly use it for fule transfer throughout my devices or for schooland works andpersonal foles.
