I love how easy this USB flash drive can connect to your iPhone and back it up immediately. I have the older generation of this product and it was hard to connect when you have a case on your iPhone. This newer design is great. I highly recommend this flash drive for backing up your iPhone data.

I freed up so much memory in my phone thanks to this easy to use device, I'm glad I bought this memory drive. I actually downloaded music and a movie into this drive before a long flight and I was able to stay entertained throughout the flight without affecting the performance of my phone.

What I expected:
To plug the device into my phone and seamlessly back up all my photos and files—enabling a smooth phone upgrade process.
What actually happened:
After plugging in the device, I was prompted to install a firmware update via the associated file transfer app. I followed the instructions and attempted a backup. However, the app only copied 2.4GB out of 223.3GB of data, despite multiple attempts.
Since the device didn’t perform as advertised using the app, I reformatted it and completed the backup manually—without the app—which worked as expected.
Conclusion:
The product has potential, but the app experience was unreliable and hindered the process. A more stable and fully functioning app would make this a much more effective tool.

Quick and easy to use. Love knowing all my photos are backed up. ScanDisk's app is user friendly. Get the 256GB so you have plenty of storage.

It works like it’s supposed to. Also easy to figure out. I love that I can move my photos directly from my iPhone to a drive and then reopen it on my iPhone while it is saved on the drive

This product does exactly what it says and if you don't want to factory reset an older iPhone, it's the perfect solution for moving your photos off of it. As long as you have an iPhone that takes the traditional style iPhone charger, (the 8 pin, NOT the universal C) you are good to roll. You just plug it in and follow the prompts. I would recommend keeping usage to one per phone for simplicity but obviously, you don't have to do that.

This was probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. We were having trouble downloading photos from our iPhones to the computer. The process kept crashing and sometimes it did not copy all photos. Using this device made all the difference and we were able to copy everything from the iPhone direct to this storage device. It’s then simple to connect a device to the computer and upload all pictures as needed. The only thing I would say is strange is that when moving pictures from the device to the computer, you lose the data such as when the picture was taken.

If you don’t use a MAC then you know how long it takes to transfer pictures from phone to PC. I do a lot of photography and editing from my GoPros to phone including drone then posting to social media and when the dreaded time to unload everything to PC it a pain. Using this has cut that time drastically and transfer to PC is so much easier. No longer having to deal with the phone locking and stop the download. Have bought two of these and what a difference. Highly recommend this product. Hassle free.

Awesome tool that frees up a ton of space on phone. Took 13000 photos and moved them to a hard drive. Easy to use but took about 2 days to move all photos so a little slow but I’d buy it again.

The SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go is a total lifesaver! Transferring photos, videos, and files from my iPhone to free up space is now a breeze. Just plug it in and the app walks you through everything—super easy and fast. The 256GB gives me tons of room, and I love that I can plug it straight into my computer with the USB-A side too. It’s compact, stylish in black and silver, and perfect for travel or everyday backups. If you’re always running out of storage or want peace of mind, this little device is a must!
