Once I checked out the instructions, everything worked very well. Opening up settings allowed me to access help files and “how to” videos. The small gear at the bottom left is the settings icon.
Here’s the home page of the i-FlashDrive HD app. If you click to enlarge the above image, you can see lists of supported file types.

I saw it had some files already on it, so I decided to try just plugging the i-FlashDrive in to my iPhone 6 Plus to see what happened.

In any event, the card showed up as available on my Mac without any problems. Try as I might, I couldn’t seem to time a photo to capture the red and blue lights that sometimes flash on the i-FlashDrive when it’s plugged into the USB extension cord I use with my Mac mini. It’s spring loaded, so it’s easy to insert and remove the card. There’s a slot on one side of the i-FlashDrive for the microSD card. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information anywhere about the maximum storage your microSD card can have. The microSD card in this image was a 4GB card I’ve owned for a while. It weighs 11 grams, just over 1/3 of an ounce, with the microSD card in place. It measures about 2.2″ long X 0.8″ wide X 0.3″ thick with the end caps in place. It comes with clear plastic caps for each end. As mentioned, it has a Lightning connector on one end and a standard USB connector on the other. The i-FlashDrive Brando sent to The Gadgeteer is a small, white plastic device.
Brando’s i-FlashDrive is only $30, plus you’ll need to supply your own microSD card. I’ve seen similar devices that promise these functions, but they are usually very expensive. It promises to let me play music or video files from the external storage, create/edit text files, make voice recordings, support Dropbox, and more. The packaging promises that the i-FlashDrive is “external memory expansion for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch”. You can use it with an iOS device or with a computer to transfer data between them. The i-FlashDrive external storage for iOS devices is basically a flash drive/microSD card reader with a standard USB plug on one end and an Apple Lightning plug on the other. It might also be nice to have some room for a song or two on my iPhone without filling up the tiny amount of storage still available on my 6 Plus after loading up the apps I need to have.īrando has just the device that promises to fulfill my wishes. I don’t want to have to sync one device with my computer and then sync the other to get the files on, nor do I always want to have to email files between devices. It would also be nice if I could exchange files between my iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and my computer without involving iTunes.
That doesn’t seem possible, because Apple doesn’t allow you to use memory cards. My next iPhone will have at least 64GB of storage, but until then it would be nice to find a way to increase the storage on the iPhone I have. This upgrade, I’ve regretted buying the 16GB iPhone 6 Plus, but exchanging it for a larger capacity would have meant another unbearable wait, so I’m stuck with it this time. We typically used our iPads for gaming, creating files, and other activities. That wasn’t a problem before, because we mostly used our iPhones for calling, texting, emailing, and navigation.
