According to a recent consumer survey2 conducted by SanDisk in
the U.S., many iPhone users are looking to free up more space on
their phones. “People are using their mobile phones to capture tons
of photos and videos, and more than 70 percent of users transfer
files off of their iPhones to another storage location,” said
Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing, SanDisk. “Our line
of mobile storage offerings can immediately help them free up
space. With the new iXpand Flash Drive, people can spend more time
using their iPhone to capture what they love, and less time
worrying about how and where to transfer these photos and
videos.”
Designed to be the perfect storage companion for iPhone and
iPad, the reinvented iXpand Flash Drive features a flexible
Lightning connector and now a USB 3.0 connector so users can
quickly and easily move photos and videos between their iPhone and
iPad and Mac or PCs. The iXpand Flash Drive allows users to
automatically back up their camera roll and contacts, and watch
popular video formats3 straight from the drive. The new drive also
includes encryption software that password-protects files, allowing
people to share their content while keeping sensitive files secure
across devices4.
The product features a redesigned app, the iXpand Drive app,
which offers new features and an improved user experience. Giving
users the option to save space instantly, the app now has a camera
function so users can shoot and save photos or videos directly to
the drive instead of on their iPhone or iPad. The app also allows
users to automatically back up content from popular social
networking sites, as well as play back music within the app.
Built for the next-generation iXpand Flash Drive, the iXpand
Drive app is available for download from the App Store for iPhone
and iPad. The app launches when the iXpand Flash Drive is plugged
into an iPhone or iPad – allowing for immediate storage expansion,
access to the user’s content and easy file management.
SanDisk offers a full range of mobile storage solutions, making
it easy for consumers to expand the memory and manage content on
their favorite Apple and Android devices. To see SanDisk’s complete
