    Will not work on iPhone 5

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 8, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s could not work on iPhone 5 so please be aware of that. On the other hand you need to you the scan disk software app with is sorta clunky and takes longer then expected to do a full back up on the iPhone 13 Pro and a full restore to an iPhone 14 pro max so add about 20 minutes to the estimate time please. I like to have my pictures backed up to a physical drive as well. I have used Sandisk throughout the years only had one drive flash drive failed. Yes you have also can use USB as well so having that extra is a major bonus. The software is a major draw back in my opinion.

    Big Bang for the Buck!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - October 4, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The IExpand works good. It can work with any USB insert. It is Easy to carry and maintain. It Has a lot of features. The only reason I did not give it an Excellent is because of its speed. Now, I m no Technically savvy computer Wizard, still It did seem somewhat slow compared to other drives I have and have used. To be Fair the other drives CAN NOT do what the IExpand does. The other Flash Drives Can Not Upload or Download into and from an IPhone or Any phone for that matter. Those drives that can do this and are somewhat faster than the IExpand COST Way, Way more Money! It’s a convenient, small well made, versatile device that you could carry on a key chain that can transfer large amounts of data to and from your IPHONE with relative ease for a decent price.

    Great for the money

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 17, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great for the money! iPhone only has internal memory so this is great for a backup on the go storage. It’s also great to drop files such as videos for editing if I’m away from my computer to edit

    My travels in Italy

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 30, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wonderful device did exactly what I needed it to do. While on a recent trip to Europe, my iPhone ran out of cloud space. I did not lose a single video or picture by backing up daily.
