Review: Absolutely a great little device! A must have - I absolutely love this little thing. I can’t even begin to tell you how useful it is.. I have a dash cam in my car that uses a microSD card and I have the newer iPhone so it uses a type sheet adapter if I’m ever in an accident all I gotta do is take the car out of the dash cam and boom I have the video on my phone, but I’m a videographer. I use my drones for doing videos. I’m gonna begin my trek all around the world here pretty soon, but this little device even sitting in the middle of nowhere I can put the card and transfer the videos to my phone. Do whatever editing I’m gonna do it. It’s absolutely fantastic.! works every single time do not hesitate. To use it on your iPhone, you simply go to the Files tab on your phone that’s where it likes to store files when you plug it in it’ll show up as another folder on your tab and then you just go through each folder and there’s your photos in your videos it’s great
Review: Less is more - Works easily. Gonna need it for my new Google Pixel phone, since there's no sd card slot. I tested it on my current phone, and its just a simple plug and use. Donnot forget to EJECT your Drive before unplugging completely. Worth the money for this little thing. It can be used as a usb drive. Install whatever size memory card.
