I think anyone who has a phone needs this gadget! There is no better way to have a backup of all your favorite pictures! its so easy to transfer the images to your laptop, desktop, watch on your TV or take to make pictures. I know we all have online storage (e.g. icloud) but i like having my images in multiple places, just in case. Easy to use, I already one one that is full and this flashdrive memory bank is twice as large. I have never had an issue with this brand. Worth every penny.

I had over 1,900 pictures and videos and was able to save them all in this drive. Very user friendly and quickly saved my pictures and videos. It´s so good I´m going to buy one for my wife. As grandparents you can imagine how many videos & pictures we take.

Love it. I read other reviews - some said it did not work. I can understand because it drains the battery from a 100% charge down to 80% in 10 seconds but held at that until building up the criteria to download 20,232 photIs and videos. It worked, but the phone battery was completely drained. I plugged the flash drive into my laptop and all images were there! Way to go Sandisk! When you plug the drive in, select automatic download of photos and it will automatically download by year and months. Perfect!

I've only had it for a little bit so I've not used it to it's full potential. It was soooo easy to use. Just download the app and plugged it in and it worked down loading. I had 7000 pictures and videos clips all went without a problem. It's a little has a bit of flex to allow for phone cases. I was able to delete all the photos on my phone with this as a back up. I took it on my vacation and left the iXpand in the hotel room just in case I lost my phone, I'd have all my contacts and pictures!

Great flash drive. Does what its designed to do. Used it to back up my daughters phone before upgrading to new phone. I know you can use the cloud back up and restore, but having this information backed up to more than one place for pictures and contacts gives you piece of mind. Very easy to transfer pictures and other files off the phone storage to free up space.

I absolutely love this flash drive. It attaches easily to my iphone or ipad and is very quick and easy to use. I can back up my devices or download info from my computer and play it back or read it on my phone of ipad. It's small, fits in my pocket and does everything I expected it to do. Highly recommend.

I’ve been looking for an item like this for some time. I tend to take a lot of pics with my iPhone. This is an easy way to get those photos off my phone and still have them handy when I need to get to them.

I plug this into my windows 10 laptop to copy music, photos and video over to the drive and then attach it to my Ipad. I still need to work on playing the media on my Ipad, but I have managed to play short videos via the VLC app. I still need to study up on perfecting it, but it works as advertised. I can also use it as a windows 10 Flash Drive so it's a multitasker. I would purchase it again.

I purchased this drive for a long trip that I was going on. I uploaded about 30 movies on it which I was able to watch from any device including my iPhone. The best part about it was that as I took photos on my iPhone during my trip I was able to upload them right away to the drive straight from my phone which helped to free up a lot of storage. Copying files from my phone took minimal time. The app was really easy to use. I am so so pleased with this purchase!

This worked flawlessly. Plugged it into the iPhone 12max after I downloaded the app from apple and all the files and pictures loaded on the unit. Plugged it into my window =s computer and was able to download the photos. Worked very well. Would highly recommend this product if your looking to transfer photos to a windows based computer. Loved it.

Best iPhone backup & additional storage - IT WORKS

Without this product, moving photos and other files from the iPhone using lightning cables, software, apps, and so on often doesn't work. WiFi is slow, or software locks up after 1/2 the photos are done, and/or you don't have enough choices on which files to save where. With the iXpand flash drive, you get total reliability and control on what you save and where, with INSTANT access from a PC laptop, desktop, Mac, or smartTV -- WITHOUT needing internet or WiFi connectivity. This is the BEST!

This has saved me a lot of space on my iPhone. I love that it’s so easy to use — download the app & with just a few clicks, your photos are transferred seamlessly. With not being able to have interchangeable storage options with an iPhone, this product has changed the game for me personally because I love to take lots of photos and videos.

We got this for my son's iPhone as he loves taking pictures. Now we don't have to worry about using up the family's iCloud storage, as my son can store all of his high res photos in one place, and access them easily. Very clever and handy product. Recommended for anyone who takes lots of photos, and doesn't necessarily want them all on the cloud.

Transfer speeds had me impressed at how fast I can get videos and photos out of my phone.
Perfect for the person that likes to shoot 4K on their iPhone but gets worried about abusing their storage.
The UI is a little tricky which is the main reason why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5! Someone who isn’t as tech savvy would have a hard time trying to transfer individual items.
Main reason why I absolutely LOVE this thing is because of how fast you can transfer your files to windows OR Mac, doesn’t matter at all it’ll do both. I’ve rendered anniversary footage on adobe premiere pro and exported to one of these drives as a gift for my girlfriend and she was able to watch it straight from her phone ZERO latency. When I say this thing is a BEAST there’s no over exaggeration here, buy this if you’re considering it I promise you won’t be dissapointed!

Best Thumb Drive with a Lightning plug

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The thumb drive works outstanding with the iPhone, just keep in mind you need to download the app before plugging it in, once the app is installed, every time you plug in the drive it copies or moves your choice of pictures/movies/music and frees up internal memory, it's almost plug and play, just don't forget to download the app.
