![]() ![]() This single aspect makes these things absolutely HORRIBLE to use. This is the biggie! This is the thing that makes me want to take a hammer to the thing and wonder why I bought them! I define reliability separately from performance because a car can perform very well but keep breaking down. I wonder if it’s due to the Lightning connecter or the iXpand software but I don’t know. It’s been like this since my phone was new so I don’t think it’s phone processing power either. Sometimes it’s quite fast and other times I just feel I can go & make a cuppa and something to eat while it transfers not that many files! As I mentioned above, I’ve gone through a few iOS updates so don’t think it’s that. I haven’t done any measurements so I don’t say this objectively & I can be transferring a couple of files or hundreds in one go. What can I say? It can be very slow to seemingly frozen (often has) during file transfers. Took me a while to realise I could use it on the phone but security is top notch. Password protected vault works on the PC and on the phone and also utilises touch ID. I consider this as a subset of functions & features. list or tiles) and photos have preview thumbnails. File navigation views can be changed too (e.g. The software recognises copies and allows for overwrite, skip or duplicating file names just like Windows. Also, recognises the folder structure on the phone so you can save photos into ‘real’ folders rather than the ‘albums’ on the phone. ![]() There is an option to delete or retain the copies on the phone. Can create folders on the device or a PC & keeps file structure on both.Īnother useful feature, when using on the phone: if there is a crash (this happens with an unbelievably high frequency) during a file transfer process they are not corrupted and the system recognises what’s already been copied so you only copy the remainder when you redo.Same file and folder structure remains between the device and Windows.Easily copy, between the phone and laptop via the drive using drag and drop.The file management is really well thought out and flows seamlessly with Windows and offers lots of functionality such as: In terms of use the concept is executed very well however, do note performance & reliability below! The software interface is easy to navigate and intuitive with a decent amount of options in settings. It’s also good that most file types, including non-photos work and integrate with Windows & Apple systems. The concept is outstanding and when I discovered them they were a real game changer as I have thousands of photos. I think the best way to review then, to avoid too much waffle (I’ll probably end up waffling anyway) would be to address these then highlight the pros & cons then where I think they can be improved and finally suggest improvements so, here goes: I consider the best way to rate something (not in any order) is as follows: I honestly don’t know if I can recommend them or not in some ways absolutely and in other ways I think they’re a load of unmitigated sh….ame could be better!!!īrief overview: I use them with an iPhone 8 with iOS updates since 2018 and my experience has remained the same from the beginning. Well, where to start? I honestly think they deserve 0 AND 5 stars!! I’ve given 3 but that’s because I can’t use half stars otherwise I’d sit right in the middle with 2.5.
