  • Use at your own risk

    I’m MY experience over three versions: IMHO Backup ROTS. Once backed up, Photos can no longer detect NEW, unbacked up images. The Backup function has deleted images even AFTER clicking on the DO NOT DELETE button. Forget your album hierarchy as it is NEITHER PRESERVED NOR RESTORED. I know they are aware of these problems, apparently they feel they don’t need to correct anything. Every other backup/restore software I’ve used allowed partial backup/restore, even back in the 90’s on a PC. More problematically, the user ends up with multiple copies of files backed up, regardless of whether they have been edited or not. On restore, these multiple copies are then placed on your device, iPhone and iPad in my case. I have moved to copying files in the directory structure manually. That way I save space on the iXpand drive and restoring directory structure and partial backup/restores can be more readily accomplished.

    Lastly, you are required to allow them access to update their software as they wish. For the years I have used their device and required software, one update was required. AND it had to be downloaded and installed manually. Worse, last update was a year ago.

    IMHO, they dropped the ball on this one.

    Developer Response

    Hi SoBeenThere , Thank you so much for taking the time out to share your experience with us. We regret to learn about your experience. Regarding iXpand Drive app crashing on iOS 13, please make sure that you have updated your iPhone to the latest iOS release 13.2. Also, please make sure that the iXpand Drive app is updated to the latest version 5.2 which resolved the iOS 13 compatibility issues. If you have already updated the app then please uninstall and reinstall it to see if that would resolve the issue.

  • Very Glitchy Recently

    This app used to be amazing.... until it wasn't anymore. On the newer IOS versions, it has become so glitchy, constantly saying that the USB drive is not found and that I need to reconnect... sometimes I just close and reopen the app and it is fine, sometimes I have to restart my phone entirely. I used to be able to go to the photos app, and click on pictures and videos, click on share and then upload to my USB drive that way, but now it just says "drive not found, reattach" when I try to do that, even when I can open the app separately just fine. On another note, this has always been the case... when I want to upload media through the app, there is nothing indicating whether a media file is a video or a photo... which is really frustrating when I am trying to back up only videos, or specific videos; normally I'd use the length of the video to find specific ones, but I can't do that here either. I'm very disappointed, because I love SanDisk. But I guess they stopped caring about this set of products, and providing routine support and updates. And besides the note in the second paragraph, the app used to work very well. And the drive itself was and still is very amazing... but considering it needs the app to work, the app is kind of ruining it.
  • Works well, but…

    This app works pretty well, but the build in option to record from your device directly to your usb stick is designed very badly. At first glance, it has no controls, not even tap to focus, but it’s just hidden. If you’re in a dark room and tap somewhere and then slide your finger up, it will brighten the video just like the normal camera app would. Please put more effort into it, i think it’s really cool.

    Besides that, there’s another issue.

    First one (minor) being that after backing up the photos automatically, my main phone’s app prompts me to delete, selectively delete, or just not at all. I always click delete all of course, but that popup prompt never shows on my other devices, such as my iPhone 7 or SE 1st generation, but it does on my iPhone 11.

    Another pretty big issue is that on the iPhone 7, it completely fails to back up any more photos on the phone. It has already backed up close to ~1500, but it refuses to back up any more. (and choosing the build in record to usb camera icon will crash the app after selecting video)

    Not a dealbreaker, still very cool, but i wish some of these issues were fixed or the app was more polished.
