Here is another video I made that will help anyone who has an iPhone 14 or earlier! Let me know if you have any questions! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNKIfcSCnJaapoE.htmlsi=He6DvgB0RoBbC6ar

WOW!!! I tried this several times, without the transfer. This so helpful to see your steps, many thanks

Nice explanation. I have that external ssd and it’s awesome. Very fast and stable. I just love it.

Crazy helpful! Straight forward, concise and easy to follow. All in a short period of time. Making it that much easier! You grab yourself a new subscriber. ✌🏼

Brilliant! This is a clear and straightforward instruction, thanks 🙏

You explained it so well. Thank you.

This was perfect!!! I was just needing to know a method to transfer pix off my daughters iPhone to an external hard drive (SAMSUNG SSD T7) and your tutorial worked perfectly.

The best description.

and you can move "Save to Files' up your export options list (Edit Actions), to reduce the scroll time

Thanks man, it's really helpful

Brilliant 🤩 thank you for the demo and info 👍🏼👊🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Thank you for your videos!

Very helpful! Thanks!

Very helpful. Thx!

This is a helpful video with a warning. Do not use these Sandisk drives. You might be ok if you have an older version 1 drive, but the new version 2 drives have a high failure rate. There are plenty of KZfaq videos to back me up on this. I have experienced the pain of this personally. Luckily, I never back up to just one place.

This was very helpful, thank you! I've been struggling with running out of space on my iCloud and also photos not immediately uploading to iCloud. And I needed to figure out the fastest way to get photos from my iphone and upload to KZfaq

Many thanks friend for good information

God bless you little dumpling i needed this , im slow lol

Thank you bro I have the same ssd I didn’t know I can do that, I just tried it and worked so smooth

Thanks so much you saved my day 😊

Very Helpful Thanks!

Got me the same SSD, but in green color. Looks awesome!

EXCELLENT VIDEO Thank YOU for sharing this video.

Thank you for the info bro , you helped me a lot

Great vid bro

Thank you!!

Tip when using this drive are you must turn your phone or iPad off before disconnecting drive, if ssd drive doesn’t appear in files, you must hook it to a computer open file then shut file, then try with iPhone again should appear in files, these work with iPad iPhones but you have to follow these rules and it probably won’t hunt to wait a minute or two before starting to disconnect

that is very helpful, thank you very much.

Thanks!

So easy. Thanks

I’m an IPhone user and a Windows PC user. Getting files from my IPhone to PC has been a 7 year journey of pain and if this method actually works I will be so hyped

Excellent.

I will try it and if it really works I’ll thank you for ever and ever

Thanks

Amazing ty

You can use an Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader, using the same technique for your photos.

Regarding sandisk drives, I was lead to believe it is the 'Pro' versions. The 4Tb extreme PRO. I use the 1 and 2 TB, so far without issue!!!

Thanks for bringing up such an interesting way of outputting pictures. But can you designate a specific location on the hard drive to store the pictures?

Well, damn! Years of struggle just solved for me with this! Thank you to the moon and back, Dumpling! lol!

Those San Disk Extreme drives are Great in the 1T and 2T sizes. The 4T version has huge unreliability issues.

Thanx

This works great with the original SanDisk SSD, the one with the 4 sided carabineer hole. However, it doesn't work with the new , higher speed model (with the triangular carabineer hole). I suspect that the newer model requires more USB power than the original, and that the iPhone can't provide the the needed power. Regardless, great tip for the video crowd. Jim

GREAT

Hi. Not sure if you’ve already answered this one …. If the full resolution image or video is only in iCloud does the process download from iCloud first before copying to hard drive. Thanks

For some reason I cannot get my Extreme SSD to show up in the files app on my iPhone... but if I can figure that out I'm sure this will be and excellent way to move the photos and videos.

I don’t ever leave comments like this but this is slightly misleading. Your thumbnail pic is an iPhone 13 and the phone you’re using for demo is a 15. The 15 has usb type C, the 13 has lightning, making the transfer process to an external hard drive different in terms of convenience. Unless you’re making this for views instead of being genuinely helpful, overall, this was and is a well-made video.

I'm new here. Great video. I'll use this with all my pics/vids to make room on phone & laptop! This isn't really related but maybe you have a link for how to: on a MacBook, revert to regular speed a video that I somehow switched to slow motion and I want it back to normal speed? I see videos here on how to do it on a iPhone but not laptop.The slo mo was done on my iPhone. TYIA!

Thank you. How do I move stuff from my laptop/iCloud Drive to an external drive?

Thanks for this. Does this method work with older iPhones which has thunderbolt connection - say iPhone 11

Do you know of a way to take photos stored on an external hard drive and then move them into photos on iphone 15? So far I've only been able to move them into "files". then open each photo one by one and have it save to photos. PITA Ultimately, I'd like the photos to end up in icloud and not icloud drive.. thanks... good vid!

Sounds like a good workaround. Perhaps I’ll give this a try. Someone told me that there may be resolution issues. Does moving pictures & videos in this manner impact the quality of the files once it is transferred?

Thank you for the video, very helpful. Quick question, if you’ve only used Apple iCloud and your phone is set to optimize photos , how do you move your entire photo collection to download the high resolution photos vs those stored on the phone?

Hi, excellent video! Thanks One q : to avoid i am running out of battery on my iphone 15 Pro while (or after) transferring the photo to the hard drive or to my window pc, is there a way that i can charge my phone battery at the same time? (If there is a way, it would save my time of charging my iPhone after the battery has been drained out for the transfer of photos, esp during traveling when we could only be back to hotel late at night)

One note on this, Iphone 15 pro and pro max with the A17 chip has usb 3 speed while iphone 15 and 15 plus with A16 chip only have usb 2 speed.

Can you get a Raw Photo file from your iPhone 15 or only a JPG to your SSD?

I don't know how effective this transfer would be from HDD(NOT SSD) to iPad 10th gen as it's nothing short of a mockery to a USB, whatsoever the version may be. This transfer speed takes us back some decades.

Is there a way to select “all photos” to back up?

Hi, thank you! I have an iPad Pro with USB-C. Will it be possible to transfer all Photos to this external Drive?

It work with any drive !

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Perhaps a naive question, but wouldn’t it be easier with AirDrop?

Good; my phone's a plain "15" too .. I can do that (& more i think. I havva Hyper++ USB media hub that has lotsa connectivity/functionality🤔)

Do you have to do one photo at a time or can you just transfer everything in one swoop?

How to transfer back to the iphone ? Thx

Is there an option to select all at the photos app, instead of selecting one by one?

when you did this is the sound still in the video ??? what about in pro res i heard when you do this same process we lose the audio after the transfer??

Have a i phone promax and tried to transfer the photos and videos the way you have explained but it does not get transferred what could be the problem , have even formatted the sandisk to xfat kindly advice

Can I do this via my lightning port?

I would iamgine the process is the same with an older iPhone or an Android. Just need the right cable, correct? Thank you for your help.

excellent

Do you need to format first ?

So what steps did you side step? Phone to computer for phone to ssd to computer?

Does it keep track (information ) of date of production? Does it keep it in order of recording date, as in the Apple gallery?

will it work vice versa? if I want to save photos from hard drive to iPhone. is that possible with this hard drive? thx

But i have USB Type A to Type C cable in that case what is the alternative i can use to transfer directly?

Amazing video! But do you know the best way to transfer pic from SSD to Iphone instead? Im currently using the same method but in reverse - which isnt the best as i have thousands of videos and pictures from the ssd and it takes quite a while to transfer and more often than not the transfer failed halfway, corrupting all the transferred files so eventually ill have to start again but in way way smaller batches (100pic each) which takes up too much time. Would appreciate if there is any better way at all! Thank you!

Isn’t saving to files going to the files folder? Then do you have to movie it from files to the extreme drive?

Does work with the sandisk 4 Tera

Are the files copied to the sad exactly the same? Same size also?

Would this method work with an older iPhone with a lightening connector?

Can you just copy rather move the photo to the hard drive? Thank u.

What operating speed does it have? To have a higher speed is it better to use the adapter that powers the SSD?

Does this transfer include dates and location data of the photo?

Can you format the drive from the phone or do you need to do it on your Mac first? Or is it not even necessary?

Hi would there be any reduce on quality by transferring? video or photo?

Can you do this with text messages too ??

Can you do the opposite, saves videos from your hard drive to your iPhone this way ?

Can this be done over Andriod phone and over to the older type disc style (non SSD) disk?

How do you do the opposite? (From the hard drive to IPhone)

I use the PhotoSync app on my iPhone and the PhotoSync companion app on my mac. Transfer photos wirelessly, in either direction, without the disk.

Dude!! I work in the bush and have constantly had a downloading issue with sat internet causing me to buy iPhones with large storage to down load audiobooks, podcasts, & movies. Is it possible to use scan disk the other way around? To free up phone, give me more options, and not forced to buy the more expensive phones?😊

Can I store all my picture on the external ssd?

HOW WHERE YOU ABLE TO SHOW YOUR IPHONE EXAMPLE ON RIGHT BOTTOM CORNER AT 2MIN 4 SECONDS INTO THIS VIDEO ? SO COOL PLEASE LET ME KNOW

The C connector is needed.

Does this work for tens of thousands of photos do you know?

my external HDD is seagate and it does not have a type-C port or cable. do yuo have any solutions for that?

Hey great info , would this work with a usb stick and plug it in to the phone with the right cable ?

I have a Iphone 14 Pro Max. Wanting to free up space for an upcoming trip to Kenya. Do the photos get transferred across and then go off the phone? As in - not just copied across?

This only works for iPhone 15 or higher. It does not work for previous versions (because of lighthing por)

Nice video! Thanks! Can I do the same thing with iTunes music? I have a new iPhone 15 plus and all the music from my iPhone 7 plus which I purchased from iTunes transferred to the new iPhone except the ones I downloaded from my CD’s collection didn’t transfer. Can you help me with this? Thanks!

So would this work in reverse? After I’m able to upload videos to the device, would someone else with a different phone, say android, and be able to grab those videos for upload to their phone? I’m trying to find a way to easily share videos between different phones when out in the field and away from computers.
