iDiskk 256GB iPhone Photo Storage Stick MFi Certified Flash Drive Photo Stick for iPhone (14/13/12/12 pro/12 pro max/11/11 Pro/XR/X) Flashdrive for iPhone iPad MacBook/Laptops/PC for Photos Videos

This shiny silver device worked well once the user become familiar with the software. Photos load fast and transfer quickly to the drive; once transferred to the drive, they can be erased from one’s iPhone to free up space. The device is sleek and manipulates well after use, to protect the ports. The instructions are in English, are fairly understandable unlike others from overseas.

Easy to use and worked on this older iphone 11. Probably should have gotten 512GB vs. 256GB.

I was surprised to see the ratings weren't so great. I am not editing videos, etc. just using it for storage and retrieval of pictures, clipart and a few videos. It works great for me. The only problem like all these drives is it has its own software why can't these drives be plug and play no middle man like in the ole days

This USB drive is easy to use to backup my iPhone 13 Pro. Just plug in and click backup. It will do the rest. The interface is very user friendly which is the big difference compared to other projects!

Only works with iPhones prior to the latest iPhones (connection for charging cords, NOT to new European Union standard C size USB)

For the last few years, I have been editing video on my PC from shows I attend. Eventually, I arrived at the iPhone as a necessity as it can handle 'loud' concert audio with minimal to nonexistent clipping or distortion. The 'rub' is getting the files from the iPhone to my PC. More often than not, these files are HUGE as I often let the phone record the whole show.In order to get the video files off my phone, I had to use a cable to attach the phone to my PC USB, which often took a long time, sometimes hours because if the download failed, I would have to reboot both the iPhone and PC and start the download again. For a show, this sometimes took hours of rebooting and restarting the download.So I discovered this, a flash drive w/ an iPhone/USB jacks I bought the 265gb.Initially, out of the box, the instructions seemed pretty straight forward. You have to download an app, a pop up opens to go to the App store the first time you plug the flash to your phone. After download, I tried transferring one 1.3gb file. In the app, you chose the file you want to transfer, then 'copy' it. Moving it to my destination, my PC, I select the PC and paste it. It took a few minutes, but so far so good for the file to download.The issue came when I tried to run the file that I transferred over from the iPhone. Even though it still reads as a .MOV or MP4, it won't play the VIDEO in the microsoft video player or Windows media player, you just hear the audio, but it will play in the VLC player. From what I gathered, Microsoft removed the HEVC video extension from Windows 10. My PC's w/ older operating systems can play this file with the regular windows players but my newer PC w/ Windows 10 will not. Turns out you have to buy the codec from the Microsoft store for $0.99 to play the video on your PC w/ anything other than a VLC player.For video editing, I had to also shell out $5.99 to get the codec in order for my editing software to recognise the file :P. Again, the older version of my video editing software was able to play this file, but my upgraded newer software will not play it at all.So that's the warning. Even though moving the file from my iPhone to the drive was pretty straight forward after you install the app. Somewhere along the lines, the file gets changed to a different file requiring an HVEC video extension to play. My editing software can handle the files I download directly (by cable) from my iPhone to my PC, but the same file that I transferred using this flash drive has been converted and you will need to get the HVEC extension (unless you've downloaded the VLC player, which will play it)*** Extra Extra Warning, there's a limit to the size of file you can upload to the drive. I was able to move a 1.3gb file in my above review, but when I tried to upload larger video files to the flash drive, I got a warning that the file was too large. I haven't found anything to say what the max file you can upload, but it kind of defeats the purpose of getting the 256gb flash drive when you can't move large files (nowadays, files are HUGE) if you are limited by the file size you can upload. The video I was able to upload onto the flash was 23 minutes long. I was unable to upload a 30 minute file video :PDropped my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars. It still works fairly well as a flash drive to pull smaller files off your iPhone (though the conversion of a video file is annoying), but now I have an over priced iPhone flash drive that won't do what I hoped it would do when I purchased it....back to the hours of trying to download from my iPhone via cable :(

This device did nothing it said it would do as it said it would do it! It is a piece of crap! I did however get a good email response from the company to respond to my request for help. I am disabled & the co. Tried to accommodate that at least. They. Even had someone call me to try and walk me through the set up or copying of my files. I had to wait awhile to use it because I was waiting on my new iPad to arrive. Apple technicians attempted to help me back up my material as well & couldn’t!!! If an apple technician can’t figure it out then I don’t know who can!. It does not read the same amount of photos that are on my iPad. It made duplicate copies randomly. It will not copy my contacts at all. This product is not as described & is extremely difficult to use! It is not iPad friendly and I wouldn’t recommend it with any apple product. The young lady who called me late at night when I was awake on my schedule was very kind and attempted to be helpful. I think she is going to have to contact China to get a technician to actually help me that knows what they’re doing. She was just following along on her iPad doing the same thing I was doing. I can’t say enough negative things about this product it has taken up hours of my life that I will never get back over three days and I’m still not finished. I hope I’m able to return it in the end , if it cannot be corrected. I am terrified it’s going to wipe the data off of my iPad because I can’t tell when it’s working from the Flash drive and when it’s on my tablet. Extremely difficult device to work with. Don’t waste your money! if I could give it a zero I would!

This is an amazing little piece of technology! Easily copy your pics from your phone to your computer. WOW!
