- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025Size: 128GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseWorks perfect
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024Size: 256GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseThis does the job - on long trips, was running out of space on my iPhone. I'm not a fan of buying storage, so was looking for another solution.
This device does the trick - easy to use with the reliability to expect from SanDisk. You plug it in - gives you some instruction where to get the app (i recommend downloading the app before any trip you take) and the app directs with the rest. After some typical set up (like allow all photos, etc) you choose the photos and done - gives you the option to delete the photos off your phone. Easy Peasy.
But the biggest benefit I didn't expect is how much easier it is to transfer photos to my computer. I'm a PC user and it seems to take forever to transfer my photos and videos (especially when there's a lot) i tether my phone to my computer directly. This device saves me on that time - i just transfer the photos over via this dongle, and then i put the dongle into my computer - easy transfer. Other benefit is - it doesn't tie down my iphone any more.
Only con of this flash drive is the rubber cover only "protects" one side of the drive. either the USB end or the lightning end will be covered, so there's risk of damaging it if you just throw it anywhere. I have a small pocket in my carry bag so it's not an issue, but just a warning in case you just want to keychain it or throw it around.
It does the job - and gives a ton of storage - and honestly makes it easier to transfer photos to my computer vs the nightmare of plugging in my phone directly.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2025Size: 256GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseI have the SanDisk wi-Fi which still works kind of but not to well due to no updates. It’s old school. But this item is much better and works great to just plug it in and do what you want, not having to mess with Wi-Fi or battery power!.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025Size: 128GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseEase of use, a good backup tool, can quickly from the iPhone when traveling.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025Size: 128GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseNever disappointed in SanDisk products. Was easily able to transfer a large number of files from my I-phone to PC laptop with no issues. I tried using a cable from my I-phone to PC but transfers were slow, intermittent, and has errors.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Size: 256GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseUsing this flash drive to transfer photos from an iPhone to a laptop. It's very simple to use - download the app, plug it into the phone, backup the photos to the drive, then plug the drive into a laptop, and copy/paste. I love how simple it is - no website to log into, no accounts, just file backups. There's plenty of options in the app to set up scheduled backups, save contacts, etc. But for my needs - this works perfectly. I needed to free up space on the phone, and still save all the photos without paying for "cloud space" every month. Very fast file transfer - over 6,000 photos (all before the movie I had playing in the background finished).
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025Size: 128GBStyle: Flash DriveVerified PurchaseThe app is very slow and takes way too long to load and copy photos. Also, I wanted to use it to MOVE photos from my phone to the flash drive but turns out you can only COPY. Which sucks because I have to go in and delete the photos on my phone myself after it's been backed up on the drive. Since iXpand drive is no longer being supported in April 2025, I used the SanDisk Memory Zone app instead so I'm not sure how different the apps are. However, the SanDisk Memory Zone makes my experience miserable. I don't know if it's due to the high volume of photos on my phone, but backup takes HOURS. Literal hours. I had to backup a few thousand photos and I still haven't backed up all my photos because it would drain my battery, so I can't do it in one go.
Sometimes I have difficulty even connecting the drive to my phone. I'll plug it in and the app doesn't even register it so I have to mess around with taking it out and back in the port. And then I was also having an issue of the drive saying "specified destination is not available" when I was trying to backup photos. Still not sure how I solved that one.
Another thing that I hate about the app is that I can only view the photos in list view and tile view, and tile view is two photos per row. Since I'm backing up thousands of photos, I have to scroll so much as well as wait a few seconds for the thumbnail picture to load, which makes it hard if I want to find a particular image.
Lastly, for some reason the backed up photos won't load unless I change the sort by option. Not sure why that has to happen in order for the photos to show up. Either way, for a flash drive that is supposed to make life easier, it sure does the opposite. I'm sure once I get the hang of it it'll be fine but it is way too difficult for new customers to use.
I only bought SanDisk because I had another flash drive for my Samsung phone which worked fine and I had to option to move photos (not copy them) and the app was pretty straightforward but this one for iPhone is a nightmare.
