No extra software is needed when plugging this accessory into a Mac or PC, as it performs like any other USB drive, appearing as a removable drive in a computer’s file manager. This app even has a built-in voice recorder, with recordings saved on the removable drive as AAC files. The contacts can be restored with the push of a button. The i-FlashDrive HD app enables users to create folders, as well as delete files.Īs bonus features, this software can make a backup of all the contacts stored on an iOS device and save it as a VCF file. Fortunately, moving the same file the opposite direction goes much more quickly at about 55 seconds. Moving large files around takes patience: Transferring 100 MB file from Local Storage to a microSD card takes about 3 minutes. XLS file that comes in as email could be transferred to a microSD card. DOCX file could be opened in Microsoft Word.Īnd the process works in reverse as well, so files can be transferred to the i-FlashDrive HD software from any app that supports “Open in…”. This software supports “Open in…” so files can be moved to other applications to be edited. It can play music and videos, so these files don’t eat up valuable internal storage.

PerformanceĪs soon as the i-FlashDrive is plugged into an iPad or iPhone, a pop-up windows asks if the user would like to open the i-FlashDrive HD app. Ones with just 2 GB of capacity cost as little as $2, while ones with 32 GB can be found for under $20. We were not able to independently confirm these results.Ī microSD memory card isn’t included, but they are widely available. UPDATE: The retailer for this accessory, Brando, reports success using a 64 GB Toshiba SDXC microSD (30MB/s) card with the i-FlashDrive, as well as a 128 GB Sandisk microSDXC UHS-I (48 MB/s) card, both formatted with FAT32. Our attempts to use 64 GB cards from SanDisk and Kingston were unsuccessful, but the reader handled an array of lower-capacity cards from a variety of vendors. The i-FlashDrive’s card reader supports the SDHD format but not the newer SDXC, so it can access files from cards up to 32 GB in capacity but not larger. Removing them is easy, thanks to an internal spring mechanism. Memory cards fit almost completely inside, so they get good protection.
