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.
