This drive needs an associated app which is easily available on the app store, while the data transfer rate is good still there are some restrictions, and restriction is that Apple does not allow any surprise app for users. The app will only allow you to copy videos and images not songs. But it allows you to move the song from one folder to another in the drive itself.
Even with the videos and photos, you can only copy the data between the phone and the drive. You cannot perform cut-paste for these files, once you have copied some photos from iPhone photo gallery to iXpand, you have two copies of the same photos and you have to manually delete the images in the gallery. iXpand doesn’t behave completely like a flash drive, it is an extension of internal storage that you get for your Apple gadget. iXpand drives are password protected and it is a boon for all the Apple users.
