Sandisk iXpand V2 Review

[@kylehazachode]

I just bought this drive this morning at Best Buy and I love it. You can charge your iPad if you use an USB extension cable. I have it plugged into my 2.5a charger and the drive works fine (scared me at first because no one has tried it). I exclusively use this drive with Infuse app. I upload my movies to the drive and Infuse plays them perfectly. Infuse also has the option of copying movie files directly to the iPad's internal storage. I have only used the iXpand app once with my iPhone. The current version has a bunch of one star reviews.

[@takeme2urmac]

Does the iXpand show up under the Files app? Thanks. I would like to use it as a regular external drive for my iPad.

[@giannakos3]

Does the quality and sizes get effected while transferring from iphone to usb?

[@BerryStraw15]

Hi! Which one is better, the wireless drive (the little square with wifi), or this one?? I read this only support format Fat-32 which only allows it to support 4GB files max. Is it true? Does the wireless drive have the same problem?

[@pandoraunboxed9566]

Hi Gleek Glee, the iXpand comes pre formatted in exFAT, meaning one, it is both for Windows and Mac, which is another version of FAT32 which does allow single files over 4GB to be transferable, this is the same as the Wireless Stick. Happy transferring!

Can i play music using i expand in my ipad?

[@santiagomoreno696]

What about music, would it be reliable to store a bunch of songs and play them directly from the flash drive? I only complain because of the fact that I can not store all the music I want in my iPhone, so that would be the only reason for me to purchase this

[@donpeters2716]

I like to used my iPad Pro to show PowerPoint slides. I need to find a way to download my PowerPoint slides from my Sandisk iXpand disk to my iPad. Can Sandisk iXpand work for this job?

[@lemgirl329]

I'm not computer savvy, so please don't judge me. I have a lot of movies on mp4 files, can I add these to the disk. Can I put movies from my iTunes on the disk as well.?

[@SirCactusPlayz]

I recently bought this for my mom. She had over 1000 photos on her phone. Wasn't able to back up on iCloud cause you know too much storage. When we plugged this in and use the app to back up every thing 600+ photos got deleted please help.

[@DinodogJr]

Hi, I have this question bout the backup features. Will it create a New Folder for each Backup routine or it will auto-replaced whatever we backup from previously? Thanks.

[@Dannyk3979]

Hi, can I plug the flash drive in the iPhone and take pictures or video saved directly to it instead of using it to free up space?

[@alonsomondal8836]

Yes I believe there is a feature through the app to record directly to the drive

[@Scott-tn5vn]

Will it work with an otter box phone cover. Is the curved part bendable. I have a dash cam and need it in case I have an accident. Could movies on a dash cam be transferred to the phone from the dash cam?

[@stephyzzz]

Hi, I am actually concerned whether if Apple upgrade their iso , would this device unable to be use use on the upgraded iso iphone ?

[@edades648]

Hi I've had the Sandisk iXpand for just a day and as i plug it into my iPad and iPhone both on iOS 10, both don't recognize the iXpand. Already checked reviews on Sandisk and other forums. Will my iXpand ever be compatible?

[@jackrodgersjr]

Stephanie Gualberto Download the app.

[@chenie23]

Can i upload the video to KZbin straight from the ixapand? Or i need to put it on laptop to upload? When i save videos from an app will that store it? Thank you very much

[@ea4135]

When you select auto backup (on insertion), does it give you options of selecting only pics and videos (not contacts) or if you select auto backup, it will backup all -- even though I may not want contacts auto backup-ed.

[@pandoraunboxed9566]

Hi ea4135, turning the auto backup feature on insertion will only automatically backup your photo library, to start to automatically backup your contacts, or even a once off backup you can do that in the "Back up and Restore" setting, and turn the feature on, or off

[@rushdilatiff8384]

Why nobody talks about the ixpand mini which is inexpensive than the ixpand and does the same job?

[@robertjosan]

I understand that I can download pictures, film, or files from the iphone 6 S Plus to upload to my Mac or PC but can I download Film, pictures or files from my Mac or Pc to either view on my Iphone or upload to my iphone ? ~Thank you , Robert

[@nasserhussain1337]

Does anyone know how long you can store photos on the device EG if I wanted to save some photos on it but didn’t have a device to upload them onto would the data stay saved on the device

[@jasonpatello2183]

I also noticed they have the wireless connect drive. I would be getting this to free up space from my cloud drive as i feel like just to add an annual cost of 24 bucks a year on two phones that's like 48 right there, i just want to start hosting the photos on my own drive vs keeping them in the cloud. what would be the best option?

[@beinstine]

Curious, can I download a movie onto this straight from chrome or safari on the iphone?

[@Ravi-464]

Is it support for music

[@neilorr9685]

How do you zoom movies it just seems to play them in letter box size

[@Burps___]

Does the app connect in some way to Sandisk? That is to say, does it force a user to open a Sandisk account with their personal information? Thx

[@TheDuffaloUK]

If I was using Amazon / Netflix would this increase the storage space i could use to download more shows?

[@techtony-jm7jw]

Yes

[@cloudyasmr5211]

Why isn't mine working I plug it in and nothing happens. Pls help.

[@jobrangel8769]

Hi, deos it work with pages, Keynote & Numbers?

[@ahmadfaiz1991]

Does it backup live photo

[@monique.110]

Why is it taking so long just to upload/backup 200 photos to the flash drive? I have around 800 photos total on re iPhone 5c

[@cphmark]

Is it possible to transfer "backwards" from Ixpand to Iphone?

[@sebastianlucas7449]

So can it store music

[@HenryTTo]

how about backup games on iphone to the flash drive and vice versa? can it do that? Thanks.

[@mattzillagamer1696]

Would I buy this if I need more room for my apps I download on the App Store

[@pandoraunboxed9566]

Unfortunately the device doesn't allow you to store Apps, only Photos/Videos, Contacts and the ability to transfer music to the iPhone, being able to play the music from the iXpand app itself.

[@joejoejoejoejoejoej]

[@fabianusjuwanaganis5898]

[@blakec3424]

[@blakec3424]

*subs

[@pandoraunboxed9566]

Thank you Apple Tech Pro! Appreciate the comment

[@jeremytaylor5230]

Can you add music to it

[@pandoraunboxed9566]

Hi Jeremy, you can actually transfer Music from the iXpand drive itself onto the phone. Although one thing to note, it won't copy over to your Itunes media, you will still have to play it through the iXpand app. You cannot transfer music from your phone to the device itself though.

[@angrut]

Google photos, no device or app needed

[@paulwilliams2024]

Angrut still takes up some hard drive space

[@gagiva7]

Damn expensive

[@colebiggs7296]

Is that all it does, pathetic!
