SanDisk 256GB iXpand USB Flash Drive Go for your iPhone and iPad with Type C Adapter

I originally bought the wireless 32gb Sandisk for like aed40 . It was cheaper but was a disaster wireless kept on dropping, transfers was super slow etc I paid 3 times the amount for iexpand but it was worth it. It’s got an in built s/w for transferring files and it’s really fast . Saved me loads of time , definitely worth it

Excellent product and a must gadget for iPhone users. Easy backup of important docs photos, videos & contacts. Saves my PC storage space & no need to buy iCloud storage.

I bought 2 of this product so I can easily copy photo albums from my phone.One word perfectly fine and in fact was fast to copy files, the other while used on a newer phone and with a third of the files to copy was extremely slow and would take hours to copy a small number of files. I wish it could be replaced.

When it works it’s good but keeps disconnecting and you have to keep unplugging and plugging the device to complete the data transfer

The worst buy ever, i have been repeatedly having issues with this flashdrive i cant even transfer one file and it shows operation failed try again is this a joke. It is so frustrating. I wish i can attach a screenshot to show you the image of the error that keeps showing

1- Work fine with iphone 11 pro & ipad2-Easy software to manager backup , photo and contact.3- can be use to move original copy of photoes as HEIC format.

Very uncomfortable to move photos using iPhone.. pictures show on app at times and then disappear

Gave it as a gift to a good friend of mine. He's pleased with it

Ich habe direkt zwei von den 64GB Flash-Laufwerken gekauft, weil sie gerade hier im Angebot waren.Meine Frau hat ein 6s und ich ein 8plus.Beide haben wir den Cloud-Speicher ausgereizt und mögen kein Modell bei dem wir monatlich bezahlen müssen, um mehr Speicher zu bekommen. Außerdem haben wir schon lange nach einer Möglichkeit gesucht, schnell und einfach Fotos vom iPhone sichern zu können und dann eben auch auf anderen Geräten zu speichern, zu bearbeiten, usw.Ich war allerdings sehr skeptisch, weil ich hier einige sehr negative Rezensionen gelesen habe. Vorweg: nichts davon kann ich nun bestätigen, im Gegenteil.Das alles funktioniert mit dem Flash-Laufwerk sehr gut.Die App ist schnell installiert und erklärt sich selbst. Es gibt immer wieder Hilfen, wie man welches Feature bedient und nutzt. Beim ersten Sichern aller Fotos hat es natürlich etwas länger gedauert. Jetzt aber geht es sehr schnell, weil immer nur die neuen Fotos auf dem Laufwerk hinzugefügt werden. Man man möchte werden die gesicherten Bilder auch direkt vom iPhone gelöscht um sofort wieder mehr Speicher zur Verfügung zu haben.Bei uns beiden funktioniert alles wie beschrieben. Sichern, kopieren, alle Funktionen der App und auch das hin und her mit anderen Geräten (z. B. iPad, Mac oder PC).Das Laufwerk ist schön klein, verschwindet in der Hosentasche. Unterwegs kann man auch direkt darauf aufnehmen, also Fotos und Filme sofort auf den Flash-Speicher laden. So bleibt der iPhone interne Speicher leer.Insgesamt macht das Gerät einen stabilen Eindruck. Die Stecker an beiden Enden passen gut und stramm auf das entsprechende Gegenstück, nichts wackelt.Diesen Speicher würden wir sofort wieder kaufen und können ihn sehr gut empfehlen.Danke für das Lesen! Wenn der kleine Bericht hilfreich ist, freue ich mich über einen positiven Klick hier unten.

Quite a neat looking device that once plugged in requests that you download an app in order to proceed. This worked as expected with an automatic update to the software. It looked straightforward by giving you two options. I chose photos, selected the ones i wanted and it soon started to download them. Unfortunately it did not download them all and i had to subsequently and individually select the folders and the photos that had been missed the first time round (Sandisk call them 'Albums' - the other option).I started with 100% charge on the phone but this soon ran out and i needed to re-charge, a difficulty as it does not liked being removed from the phone before it's finished (why?). It does not appear to automatically download any videos either.It does not visually indicate the deletion process from the phone so should you remove it before complete(no indication?) in order to recharge - that is a problem!. Nor does it indicate the status of storage of the phone or the flash drive whilst doing its work; all the things i would have expected for the price paid.

It took a little while and some experimentation, but having worked out how best to use the ixpand flash drive I am really pleased with how well it works. It was a present for my non technically minded friend, who, once I had set up everything, sent me an email saying - The flash disk gadget is amazing, I am absolutely delighted with it.The 64GB flash drive has solved all her storage and back up problems and provided me with an easy way to let her have copies of photographs taken during our outings together. We both find the flash drive very easy to use. It plugs in securely and neatly into the ipad and just three basic commands appear on the Home Page when using the APP. These are 'Copy Files', 'View Files' and 'Back up and restore'. There is also a little cog symbol in the top right hand side of the App's Home Page page that if clicked leads you to online help and support.Here are some things I discovered that others might find useful. When the flash drive is first plugged into your Apple ipad or iPhone you are given the option to use automatic backup to back up your photo library, music and contacts list. This seemed to us a good idea and, as my friend didn't have many photos and only seven videos everything was backed up very speedily, the end result though disappointed us. In hind sight it wasn't a good choice, choosing to manually copy the photos and videos we wanted to back up was, I discovered, a much better option.Automatically backing up our music files and contact list worked well. There were however two problems with using automatic back up for photos and videos. The first problem was that automatic backup doesn't copy your albums it copies your camera roll so when you come to look at your photos you will find they are split up into lots of different dated folders with names that mean very little. Strangely too, we found the photos themselves weren't visible until I had used the flash drive on my computer and chosen to view them as large icons. The other downside to automatic backup was that, so the backup process doesn't take too long, all the backed up photos were compressed slightly. This doesn't really matter when you view them on your ipad or iPhone as they will still look ok on those but it is not ideal if, for example, you decided to use them to create an A4 sized print.The best way to back up videos and photos is, I think, to use the Copy Files option. Doing this allows you to copy files from your ipad/iphone to the flash drive or from the flash drive to your ipad/iphone.If you choose to copy photos from your ipad/iphone, you can either click on 'photos' and tick the photos you want to copy or click on 'albums' and click 'select all' to copy all the photos in an album. It is then possible to create a folder on the flash drive, click 'copy here' and all the selected photos go in the created folder. They are not compressed and appear at full size. For this reason it is probably best not to try to copy too many photos at once and best to copy videos seperately from photos. The end result - Being able to view your files as albums in folders is, I believe, much better than viewing them in lots and lots of seperate folders, arranged according to the date when a photo was taken.Using the ixpand flash drive on a computer is very easy as, when plugged into a USB socket, the flash drive functions just like a normal USB memory stick. I chose to copy and paste albums of photos from my computer into the Photos folder of the flash drive and copy and paste videos into the videos folder of the flash drive. It was then just a matter of plugging the drive into the ipad and choosing View files to see them on that.The flash drive was purchased at a very good price as I was able to buy it via one of Amazon's special lightning deals.

Strongly dislike.You not only pay a premium for this external hard drive but also allow thieves, robbers and crooks into your iphone as noticed by the attached software agreement for the app to allow using this. It will upload certain unspecified data to the company and also let ads into your phone ad nauseum. Avoid like a plague.
