This is a must have if you are out and about and want to save some pictures on the go. The only setback is the battery power it uses from the phone and it might go quickly, however you can plug it to a USB as it charges and downloads your pictures.

I like the disk for transferring photos , videos not so much once you download the app you can easily transfer photos, back up contacts, some videos others not and what’s odd all the videos are recorded from the same source so still trying to figure that out

Bought this for my dad since he loves to take pictures and he always put all those pictures on his ipad so he can show them around to friends. This is super easy to use. Just load the pictures on it and plug into iPad. He now has more storage for his pictures. A satisfied user. :-)

The flash drive works great, and just as designed. I had read other reviews prior to purchase and knew what to expect. Very easy to use and has plenty of storage. Can plug right into computer for easy transfer.
Does not store apps to use from drive, which I knew already.

This is an absolutely outstanding flash drive. I have been looking for something like this for a while and it works extremely well. I have the 7Plus with an Otterbox Defender case and the drive clips on just fine. I am also glad that I went with the 128Gb.

I bought this before I went on a trip, because I knew I'd be taking photos and needed to free up some photo space on my phone. It works very easily, but prefers you to have the app open while it is backing up. Since I had over 10,000 photos on my phone, it actually took several sessions (over several days) to back up all the photos. And it requires you to keep the app open while it is doing it, which uses the iPhone battery. What I did was open the app, start the backup, then dim my screen so that the battery wouldn't be used as much. It's pretty fast, just with my 10,000 photos, it took some time, but if you are regular about backing up, it will probably be a pretty quick backup. I like it... my only concern is losing it since it's so small. I probably also should have sprung for the 256GB version since this one is probably 3/4 full now. Overall, I would recommend as another option to cloud storage, which I have, but don't completely trust!

Purchased this to free up some space on iPhone - too many videos & photos taking up most of it; this connects easily and Downloaded the app. Can copy and paste or move items off then delete them from phone, freeing up tons more space. Get it on sale, great value for the money.

You'll have to download the iXpand App to save your pictures from your phone to your flash drive. It works perfectly. You'll save money buying a 64 GB iphone and then buying a 128 GB flash drive than getting a 258 GB iphone. 10/10 would buy again

This is my fourth iXpand for all iOS devices. Plenty of space and I carry it where ever I go and access any files when I do not have a good connection via WIFI or telephone service. Plus, I can share the files to any computers via their USB slots.

Works as advertised. Saves money from not having to buy a phone with more storage. Also saves you the stress of having to decode to delete pictures or videos in order to be able to take more pics. You can easily get pictures off of your phone onto the drive and save it to a computer. You can also take pictures and videos directly onto the drive and not even use the iPhone storage at all. You can save movies to it and plug it into another iPad, iPhone Amazon or Android device and view them directly from the drive. Great product!

Great memory storage and easy way to transfer files. However, the application crashes when trying to transfer large number of files, photos, and/or videos. Have to transfer files few at a time. Best alternative out there, and would recommend.

I have seen ads for these iPhone flash drives but don't really like to buy from unknown vendors. I was in Best Buy one day looking for something else when I happened upon a display of flash drives for sale and this caught my eye. Another shopper was looking also and a salesman came to speak to us. The salesman actually had purchased one for his own use and had it in his pocket with his iPhone and demonstrated it for us, while answering questions we had. Both the other shopper and I left with one and I am so happy I did. It works perfectly and is so much easier to use than finding the cable to hook the phone up to the computer to transfer the pictures. PS: the pricing of it was slightly less than the unknown on line vendor.
