Works fine but crashes

This app works fine on my iPhone SE 2, but when I use it on my iPad and when I start to transfer files across, it just crashes.

Backup from iOS/iPadOS to SSD

This application worked very well for backing up the pictures/videos that were on my iOS devices to an SSD. I am still using iCloud but you can’t have too many backups incase something happens to your iCloud backup.

Help

Trying to download a updated file to my sandisk usb but won’t work plz help

Worthless app

This app is absolutely worthless, cannot copy to a flash drive, even though it says in the write up you can copy to any flash drive or external hard drive, that’s a lot of bunk, I tried two or three different things, and it would not work on any of them, says there is not enough power, so I am deleting the app

Response from developer

I'm sorry you had a poor experience--unfortunately, we are limited by the power supply of the hardware. Some flash drives, unfortunately, require more power than the Lightning port can provide. For these drives, an external (powered) dock may be required.

Did Steve Jobs create this? It just works.

While Apple’s “Image Capture”continually crashes while transferring large photo libraries, Copy That just chugs along and gets the job done. 45,000 pics and videos transferred to Samsung T5 external. Get the apple Lightning to USB 3 camera connector adapter off eBay cheap then power the device through the lightning pass - through. Delete from device works - my main reason for this purchase - reclaiming space - just click and allow after copying is complete. A+++

What am I missing? You can choose or not photos or videos

What am I missing? You can choose ALL or NOTHING photos or videos, a date range and that’s about! No way of choosing individual photos, no clue to size or even type of photos you want to copy. How is this any different than highlighting photos in the photo app and taping the share menu. It seemed so basic and incomplete that I paid for the upgrade

A Godsend

We can’t get broadband and work off our cellphones for internet. That means backing up to the cloud is difficult for us. Our photos are our most valuable files, and this allows us to safely archive them to a hard drive. Works without a hitch. Thanks for this OWC!

Misleading and doesn’t do what it says

It only gives option to select types of media to copy, so you can’t select ‘the photo or video you want to copy’ - you choose a category like ‘selfies’ or ‘videos’. Edit: it did offer it once after I clicked ‘copy now’ but now it does not go to that option (which should be prior to hitting the ‘Copy Now’ button anyway!)
It won’t even detect my Mac when plugged in via USB and only gives me the option to copy to ‘iCloud Drive’ or ‘On My iPhone’ (the latter of which completely misses the point of copying things OFF my phone).
Finally, in the ‘Copy Where?’ panel it shows the storage space on my phone and not the selected target.
I expected better from OWC.

Does the job

Copied 2GB photos very quickly to iCloud. Useful as one of my backups.
