Genuine Apple MFi Certified iPhone USB Flash Drive 128GB - Real Capacity - No Fake Storage, Genuine Lightning, encrypted Auto Backup Photo Stick for iPhone iPad Photos/Videos - Avoid Fake MFi Clones!

I take FAR too many photos with my phone! It’s hard to stop myself until I use up ALL my memory on it! (Which happens quite regularly).I’d purchased a Blanbok memory flash stick a few months ago and was using it to transfer/save my photos from my iPhone (8). It was working great until something happened last week, and now I’ve tried everything the seller recommends to fix the problem & it still won’t copy photos to the device anymore.I just got this JD Drive photo stick a few days ago. It’s not as easy to create folders and they’re more of a learning curve with it, but the seller does have some YouTube tutorials which are helpful.The BEST thing for me so far, in the few days I’ve been using it, is the BACKUP feature!!! It took several days to back up all 37,600 photos & videos on my iPhone, but now they’re all safe! I’m traveling away from home and have a small hard drive I’m putting the backup on as well- just to make sure my photos are safe in 2 places before I start deleting them off my phone.To do the backup, at first I was scared & kept stopping because of the message on the page about how much could be deleted. The wording made me unsure if it was automatically deleting what it was backing up. After watching the tutorial video, I found out it’s just telling you how many photos have been backed up that you COULD delete them IF you want to.The other thing that’s great about this memory stick is that it stays plugged in better. I was able to keep my phone in my pocket while the stick was busy backing up. I was able to back up around 5000-10,000 every full phone charge (depending on how large the photo or video file was and also how completely my phone was charged. It did take several hours each time, and multiple days, to back up all 37,000 photos. (At one time recently, I had 42,000!)Another positive is that I was able to do other things on my phone or even turn the screen off and it would keep backing up in the background. And it knew which photos & how many were left to be backed up each time I restarted the process. It makes a backup of each album you have in your iPhone. You can also back up your contacts. And you can backup your iPad.I haven’t tried this yet for watching movies on my iPad, which I’d like to do. That’s next to try.I’ve only had this less than a week and the Blanbok drive was working great for 5 months. So time will tell if this continues to work. But at least I know I’ve got my precious memories backed up and safe.

This is an easy way to download from iPhone to computer!

The drive itself is made with good quality metal. Its slender design makes it easy to store and quite durable. When it comes to connectivity however it can be finicky. The app associated with the drive crashes A LOT. I can be in the middle of a transfer and it crashes. None of my files seem to be damage, but it’s still really annoying. I use it for strictly removing pictures from my phone and I transfer about 1000 at a time and it does it pretty quickly in my opinion. However, if it crashes in the middle of this transfer… well that’s annoying. It will also crash if I’m going through photos that have already been transferred to the drive making it hard to go back to see what’s on it. Overall, it’s good product. I just wish it wouldn’t crash so much.

Works great, took a little going back and forth with it but once I figured it out I was able to take off my pictures in my iPhone and tranfer them to my iPad. Very happy with this device.

Great product easy to use

Wow, was this truly awful. The Chinese manufacturer couldn't be bothered to hire someone who really understood English, so the instructions are a real hallucinogenic trip. (One of my favorite examples is "Warm Tips", which are things that are important and should be labeled "Hot Tips", but they don't get that. At least that was understandable.) In addition, it doesn't hold much data at all, so if you have a lot to back up, do your research (I didn't, duh!) and get something that actually holds a lot of data. I'm just hoping I can offload what I put on it because (HOT TIP) when I inserted it into my phone, it immediately started copying files (!!!) and said it had permission to delete them as it went (!!!). Which it did (!!!). So fingers crossed that I can get those pictures back. In the meantime, I am laboriously backing up to my computer from iCloud (can't use iPhoto yet because my phone doesn't have enough space to upgrade to an operating system that can hook up to my Mac!).
