READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! Changes Image Names To Meaningless 43-Character String!
I bought this device because all my other Sandisk devices strike me as 'Best Of Class'. Not this one, though.
First: For some strange reason, Sandisk decided that the image naming convention iCloud and your iPhone uses had to be changed to something completely different and random and long so that there is no way to tell which picture is which and no way to look in iCloud Photos or your iPhone to find out. AND...
Second: If you use a case on your iPhone, you will probably have to remove it to plug in the Sandisk iXpand. The Sandisk flash drive is too wide to fit into the opening in most cases for the power/USB cable. Not much mind you- just enough so it won't connect. I had to remove my case (an OtterBox) and carefully file the hole a little bigger.
It amazes me how a company like Sandisk, whose products are normally stellar, would destroy their image with a serious mistake like this device. Great idea, very poorly executed.
BACK IT GOES!!!
