Customer Ratings & Reviews

it was only a 32g driver. I buy it for 256g and the package says so, but it only 32g shows in my computer. Bad, don’t buy

I discovered that 256 GB was not enough storage for my iPhone since I have over 25,000 photos, and the phone quit working properly. I was seriously considering whether I would have to replace my new iPhone with an expensive 1TB model. Yes, I also use iCloud and Google Photos to back up all my images. However, I like having them physically stored instead of only relying on the cloud. The Best Buy rep suggested this Sandisk iXpand flash drive since it is specifically made for the purpose of backing up iPhone photos via a fire connector. FYI: It also has a regular USB drive connector on the other end. Sandisk provides an app for your phone to make downloading the images from your phone incredibly easy. Frankly, it is the app that adds the most value to this product. Several great features. When you plug it into your phone, it immediately organizes your photos and asks if you want to copy them. After you copy the pictures, remove the drive, and plug it in the next time, it recognizes and copies any new photos. NOTE: It took several hours since I had so many photos. I like this product so much that I bought another SanDisk drive for a second backup. It will also back up your contacts too.

This purchase was a gift for someone else. They found the drive easy to use and it worked well to offload images from their phone to free up space without being required to connect the phone to their computer. They are happy with the performance and ease of use.

I usually am carrying over one thousand photos on my phone. I never thought about the memory space I was using until I saw this gadget. This holds 256GB of data including photos, videos and contacts. Videos especially eat up a lot of space on your phone. Using this product, I can take all the photos and videos that I want and then easily and quickly back them up on the iXpand Drive app which you can download from the App store. It is very user friendly and works with a long list of models of iPhones and iPads. Just plug the flash drive into your phone and follow the prompts. You can have your photos and videos automatically upload to the iXpand drive or you can manually choose which you want to save on the drive. You can use the USB connector that is on the flip end of the flash drive to move the photos onto a computer if you wish.

This purchase was my second attempt at adding an external storage drive to my iPad. The first drive I got online (not a SanDisk) had one negative review out of dozens with 4 and 5 stars. So I disregarded the negative review and bought it. Bad choice. After about a month of use, the drive failed in exactly the same way as stated in the negative review. Fortunately it was under warranty so I got my money back, but I still needed an external drive. Instead of just ordering another one online, this time I decided to go to my local Best Buy and get some knowledgeable assistance. The clerk in the computer department was excellent. We discussed my problem and he eventually steered me to the SanDisk iXpand flash Drives. There were a number to choose from, with varying storage capacities and computer connections. I finally picked one with 256gb storage and two connectors, Lightning and USB 3. I am very pleased with my purchase. There were a few minor issues transferring data in the beginning until I figured out the correct procedures (totally my fault, I misread the instructions) but then it was smooth sailing. In fact, I think I’m in love with SanDisk. I bought some for my relatives, and am definitely getting more for myself. And one of the best things about is that it’s so small! It really packs a big punch for its size!!

Works great simple to use download the app iPhone finds it right away downloads all pictures with no doubles.only thing it doesn’t do is delete as you go

Flash drive has 256 gb just what I need for storage. Easy to use, stores all my photos from my I Phone 12 Pro Max.it frees space in your I Phone which you may need for other uses. It’s small easy to carry in your pocket and can be used anytime you need it. I started to get a 112 gb but the staff convinced me my 35,000 plus photos may easily fill it up. They were very helpful in my selecting the 256 gb flash drive to make sure I had enough space for all my photos. The price was very affordable for such a large capacity.

A nice way to back up my photos, easy to use and frees up my storage.

Very impressed with this little gem!! I had maxed out my phone's memory over many years of taking pics while traveling, I've tried transferring from the cloud, syncing to external hard drive, you name it... Nothing was as easy as this!! It takes a while to go through your entire photo album selecting pictures organized by day, but once you start the transfer, just watch it go. The only inconvenience I can note is since you're searching pics and then transferring - your screen stays on the whole time, so it does eat up the battery, HOWEVER, if you can utilize a wireless charger, you can transfer for days, lol. Lastly, a huge benefit in my opinion is once you complete transferring whatever you selected, it automatically asks if you want to remove those from your device and the cloud. Streamlined, effortless, easy, & efficient!! I love it and super glad I bought it!!

I when on a trip to Florida to a family birthday, at the party I started taking picture but after two photos my iPhone had run out of space, I should had save my photos to the clouds put I'm not sure how that really works, I so an add about the SanDisk flash drive Go and how easy it is to use and sure enough I was back in action taking photo after I had transfer all the photos from my phone to the Flash Drive Go, now I never leave home with out it.

Very useful. Perfect solution when I’m trying to share files while working in the field without internet or poor cellular service. Plenty of storage for temporary storage and I like how compact it is. The iOS app is pretty user friendly too.

I purchased this drive to easily back up items on my iPhone. I plugged it in my iPhone, downloaded the app, and the drive downloaded the pics and videos onto the drive. When it finished, it said that the pics and videos were safely downloaded onto the drive, It asked if I wanted to delete the pics and videos from my phone. I wanted to be sure that the pics and videos were on the drive, so, I said no. When I checked the drive, and the data was there, I can’t get back to the screen where I can delete them from my phone. I did an online chat with Best Buy and they said that I will have to delete the data manually. I haven’t done that yet. Maybe if I start over……..

I have a work phone that is older iphone. I am not allowed to purchase data because company dont allow and want me to go into “iCloud” online. Problem with that wss i am not allowed password to the account so the IT person logs in and tell you to delete directly from account online. If done on the phone everything will come back because the cloud. I was on the iCloud account for ever goinh through 13k video & photos i had since 2015. I was annoyed like there got to be a better way and i found this device and purchased it and took everthing off the phone picture, and files and my phone memory was free. So easy to do and love it connects directly to the phone port.

This san disk work very well with my new iPad it very small and it held all my pictures and it is easy to use and store

Works great helps me save memories from my phone I am so happy I got it. Now the only this I gotta say is the app is harder too find but that’s cause the changed the look of it

I use this to carry movies when traveling. Since it has two ports I can use it on my iPhone, IPad, and laptop. I’m sure it would work equally well on Android devices. I’ve got a couple of hundred pieces of content with me in a tiny device.

Very fast and works on both my iphone and pc. great amount of storage for my pics.

Works well to add some more storage to your iPhone without having to pay for more iCloud storage

I purchased this usb drive a month ago as my phone storage was full and there was some error coming while transferring pictures to my laptop. This product is amazing very easy to transfer all your pictures and data. I had more than 6000 photos and videos and there was no issues while transferring. Another benefit is there is a option for auto backup so when ever you connect this to your phone it will automatically starts backing up. And most importantly you can Cary it every where. I really recommend this to everyone.

This is very useful for me especially when traveling and attending concerts. I could easily store my precious memories in one go.
