Great, but can be improved. (Please read)
I just bought this and when I plugged it in it immediately redirected me to the App Store. This is a very nice feature that I have never known of. This app is very quick and helps you backup all of your files backed up. I have lost my contacts so many times and then I bought this thing because I had extra money to flex and bought a 32gb iExpand and was very satisfied with the results. Here are a few things that would help. 1. Add waterproof. (I don’t know if it has it and I’m not going to test it.) 2. Backup notes from the notes app. 3. Make a better casing for the usb. (It scratches pretty easily.) 4. Make it so that when your on a third party app you can browse the app from the third party app instead of downloading and then going to library. 5. Add fingerprint passcode to show files. 6. Re-make the browse files. (I don’t know why but it doesn’t show photos in the photo folder. It only shows if you click on photos)

What Went Wrong?
I originally gave it 5 stars. Then good time went bad! I purchased my third unit. I have been having so many problems with it. The image quality when I save in Photoshop Express is HORRIBLE! I had some videos and had to download an app to watch them which really screwed up the unit. Now I can’t open any of my pictures now! I tried to get help on both sides from Photoshop and Sandisk with no success. I tried deleting and reloading the app and still have problems. Anyone else have issues in the last month? Could this be a defective stick?

Super handy, efficient, one major file naming problem
In this little drive is easy to work with and very helpfull to keep my phone free to shoot more photos and video. I shoot a lot. I definitely recommend the drive. One concern has cost me no end of grief and that is edited video that was shot on my iPhone and edited on iMovie for iPhone was exported to the drive on two occasions where it over wrote a previous video. The previous video had been done a day earlier. This happened twice while I was in China and I lost all my edits. This happened twice before I realized what was happening and could stop the bleeding by placing videos into their own separate folders. Very inefficient, and a real pain. Not an elegant workaround but a workaround nonetheless. Hence the four stars which, considering the nature of the problem might actually make it deserve two stars, you decide. I’ve been happy with the Drive in all other respects.
