hello! I had a question! I can easily back up all my photos and videos but then some show up as .plist and show "unsupported file format" and I have over 4000 photos and videos. There's no way I can search through each individual pic/vid to find out which one it is. Is there any way to fix it? AKA fix the .plist into png/jpeg/vid/mov/etc?

Great video. Very informative. I have one question about the transfer of photos. When I have transferred pics from my iPad to the iXpand the pics aren’t as hi resolution when viewed in the iXpand app. When the pics are transferred back to iPad they are in the correct resolution so the flash drive has the image just not as hi res in its app. Is there a setting to rectify this or is this a flaw of the app? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just started watching your video, are you familiarw/ th VACKIIT iexpand stick? I bought it, because it said compatible with iPad Air 2 add Apple certified but I can't get it to work, there's only about five options, I don't see anywhere to make files or folders or save photos or videos ? It did say when I clicked to access contacts but I wanted photos so the only option was to accept or decline I declined.. now it says I need iflash, if I didn't never had that. Maybe it's not compatible but if you know any info please let me know otherwise if SanDisk iexpand would work with my iPad Air 2 , it is almost 10 years old,15.7.8 ios software version. just need to say my photos and videos and some notes, because my iPad might go out anytime I had dropped it and that's a lot of cracks and there's flashing lines on my iPad that the screen could possibly go out please let me know if you have any information I appreciate it so sorry so long long message thank you
Thank you for the video. I do have a question for you, I hope you can still see this comment. I just bought that flash drive but the “luxe” version. As I was backing up into the drive, it was showing me that it was actually shortening the storage space on my phone! I don’t understand why but I had to stop backing up because my phone completely ran out of space. Why is it taking gigs from my phone while backing up into the flash drive? Thank you in advance.

I'm guilty of saving an outrageous number of photos and videos (not to mention texts and email messages!) on both my iPhone 8 and iPad Mini 4. It's so bad that I'm running out of iCloud storage space, and keep getting alerts to either delete some photos or purchase 1 TB of additional iCloud space for $9.99/month! I've tried making some deletions, but I've done little to add to the storage. I don't want to pay every moth for a TB of space (I'm over 70 and retired), so I was about to purchase a flash drive to free up space. I forgot about a 32 GB iXpand Flash Drive that I bought a while ago, but never used. Would it make sense to transfer as many photos/videos to the flash drive I already have, and purchase another one with greater memory to free up even more space?

I'd just get the 64gb version and see how that goes and if it works, Just pay as little as you want for the cloud storage. I pay $3 for 200GB but I don't take as much photos on my Phone as most would but I also have a Sandisk Connect also that I can use WITH this as well.
