512GB iphone ipad flash drive

This shiny silver device worked well once the user become familiar with the software. Photos load fast and transfer quickly to the drive; once transferred to the drive, they can be erased from one’s iPhone to free up space. The device is sleek and manipulates well after use, to protect the ports. The instructions are in English, are fairly understandable unlike others from overseas.

As a photographer, I’m constantly managing large photo and video files—and this double-sided 1TB USB drive has been a game-changer. The lightning and USB-C combo makes it super easy to transfer files directly from my iPhone or iPad and then back them up to my computer or external drive. If you’re someone who takes a lot of photos or videos (especially in RAW or 4K), don’t wait until your iPhone is full. Regularly backing up to a drive like this keeps your phone running smooth and saves you from that dreaded “Storage Full” warning right when you’re about to capture something important. Just make sure to safely eject and organize files as you go so your backups stay clean. Pro tip: Back up once a week, and don’t use your iPhone as long-term storage—it’s a tool, not a vault. Highly recommend for creators and everyday users who want an easy, on-the-go solution to manage their content!

I'm not familiar with thumb drives but I wanted something to transfer my pictures from my phone and free up storage on my phone. I like that this is dual ended but I don't like that the end is unprotected. It stays in a pocket of my purse but it's still venerable to dirt and dust none the less. I found it easy to transfer pictures from my iPad to it and I was able to access all the items on the drive AND my iPad. I read a review on the iDiskk app that said the person's pictures were deleted and it was a mess - I haven't experienced that. My phone case is too thick to use the drive with the case so I have to take the phone out of the case but that's a small inconvenience. I like the ability to have pictures at my fingertips, pop in the drive and show or print them no matter where I am. I'm not limited anymore, I can transfer pictures anywhere. So far, so good!

Works with iPhone SE to MacBook Pro. I had to format the idiskk for it to work. This is easily done in the settings menu. Now I can have more free space on my phone by transferring pictures and videos.

Item works as advertised but didn't realize it's impossible to create a full backup of a phone with any of these drives. Was hoping to be able to backup phones on the fly as i work with many at once.

For the last few years, I have been editing video on my PC from shows I attend. Eventually, I arrived at the iPhone as a necessity as it can handle 'loud' concert audio with minimal to nonexistent clipping or distortion. The 'rub' is getting the files from the iPhone to my PC. More often than not, these files are HUGE as I often let the phone record the whole show. In order to get the video files off my phone, I had to use a cable to attach the phone to my PC USB, which often took a long time, sometimes hours because if the download failed, I would have to reboot both the iPhone and PC and start the download again. For a show, this sometimes took hours of rebooting and restarting the download. So I discovered this, a flash drive w/ an iPhone/USB jacks I bought the 265gb. Initially, out of the box, the instructions seemed pretty straight forward. You have to download an app, a pop up opens to go to the App store the first time you plug the flash to your phone. After download, I tried transferring one 1.3gb file. In the app, you chose the file you want to transfer, then 'copy' it. Moving it to my destination, my PC, I select the PC and paste it. It took a few minutes, but so far so good for the file to download. The issue came when I tried to run the file that I transferred over from the iPhone. Even though it still reads as a .MOV or MP4, it won't play the VIDEO in the microsoft video player or Windows media player, you just hear the audio, but it will play in the VLC player. From what I gathered, Microsoft removed the HEVC video extension from Windows 10. My PC's w/ older operating systems can play this file with the regular windows players but my newer PC w/ Windows 10 will not. Turns out you have to buy the codec from the Microsoft store for $0.99 to play the video on your PC w/ anything other than a VLC player. For video editing, I had to also shell out $5.99 to get the codec in order for my editing software to recognise the file :P. Again, the older version of my video editing software was able to play this file, but my upgraded newer software will not play it at all. So that's the warning. Even though moving the file from my iPhone to the drive was pretty straight forward after you install the app. Somewhere along the lines, the file gets changed to a different file requiring an HVEC video extension to play. My editing software can handle the files I download directly (by cable) from my iPhone to my PC, but the same file that I transferred using this flash drive has been converted and you will need to get the HVEC extension (unless you've downloaded the VLC player, which will play it) *** Extra Extra Warning, there's a limit to the size of file you can upload to the drive. I was able to move a 1.3gb file in my above review, but when I tried to upload larger video files to the flash drive, I got a warning that the file was too large. I haven't found anything to say what the max file you can upload, but it kind of defeats the purpose of getting the 256gb flash drive when you can't move large files (nowadays, files are HUGE) if you are limited by the file size you can upload. The video I was able to upload onto the flash was 23 minutes long. I was unable to upload a 30 minute file video :P Dropped my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars. It still works fairly well as a flash drive to pull smaller files off your iPhone (though the conversion of a video file is annoying), but now I have an over priced iPhone flash drive that won't do what I hoped it would do when I purchased it....back to the hours of trying to download from my iPhone via cable :(

Arrived quickly. Stores a lot of pictures.

Muy fácil de usar!

Great product to backup photos and videos. Quickly downloads and have an option to delete if want to from phone to provide more space. Would buy again if needed.

The storage unit worked first time.

Love these! Easy to use! Packs heaps of storage

What was really great about this product was that I could do multiple data transfers, within a reasonable amount of time, so as long as you group them (file to file format), moving what is stored on your device FILES to this DEVICE/FILE DESTINATION, and read the pamphlet included first which I always do, as I’ve heard people don’t always do this?! , then encounter problems/say it doesn’t work etc. Great engineering and innovative product design, however my only suggestion would be to allow more Gigabytes at a lower market rate, like I wish this had at least 50-100G for the price, (I’m a student so saving a buck or two would’ve been nice!).
