My Favorite New Gadget!
If you’re anything like me, you’re a picture taking machine.
I love my Canon camera but I’m not a fan of lugging it and all the lenses around with me everywhere I go so I usually rely on my cell phone camera to capture all those special memories.
The problem …
Being a picture taking machine means running out of storage space on my iPhone which means I have to search through my camera roll and find pics to delete so I can free up space to take more pictures (it’s a vicious cycle)!
Drum roll please …
I’ve discovered the SanDisk iXpand – it’s a handy dandy portable flash drive that lets you easily backup files or move photos and videos between iPhone, iPad, PC and Mac computers. I have the 128GB drive which has a ton of space (also comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions – stay tuned below for a great deal).
This thing has saved my life. It’s always in my purse so I know I’ll never run out of storage space on my iPhone again. I brought it with me to Hawaii and knew I could take tons and tons of pictures without having to worry about using up all of my storage space.
You just need two things when out and about: your iPhone and this iXpand drive. That’s it – no cords to lug around, no WiFi necessary, no computer needed.
Even if storage isn’t an issue, you can use this to back up those priceless photos just in case something horrible happens (like your phone breaks or is stolen or the hard drive crashes).
Favorite Ways to Use My SanDisk iXpand
Of course, backing up my iPhone and computer photos is my number one reason but here are more reasons I love the iXpand …
iPhone:
Travelers – transfer important files from your computer onto the drive and have access to them right from you iPhone without having to lug your computer along with you (perfect for getting a little work done while on vacation)
Music Buffs – play your huge music collection right from the drive (no internet connection needed)
Movie Lovers – transfer videos and watch right from the drive (perfect for long drives or flights)
iPad, PC or Mac:
Easily move documents, videos or photos from computer to computer or iPad (perfect for sharing with friends and family)
Extra bonus – no need for cords or WiFi.
Along with my other necessities like lip gloss, sunglasses and water bottle, my iXpand is now a staple in my purse.
Off to take more photos – say cheese.

What a great device!!! and I agree with you on lugging around the heavy camera!
Perfect for a fellow picture taking machine like you Shirley!
This is great and would be a perfect gift for my college-age daughter. I think this just might be the first Christmas present I’ll purchase this year.
Great idea Kari – the perfect gift And congrats on getting your Christmas shopping done super early!!
To clarify, coupon only good on 64GB. $109.99 which is why it’s half off.
yes for the 64GB Nancy
This is FABULOUS! Just ordered mine and cannot wait to take more pics! Thanks so much for sharing!
Great Emily – enjoy taking tons of pics!
The site keeps saying that my billing address has not been specified. Does it not ship to missouri?
Did you mistakenly click the box that says your mailing address is different than billing? Usually it says the opposite.
I was going to say what Nancy said – make sure you didn’t check the box asking if mailing different from billing address – hope that works!
For people with really snazzy cameras looks/sounds like this is a life saving/room on your phone device. We don’t have Iphones as we hardly use our minutes on our Consumer Cellular phones. Our phones cost us $23 a month each with 750 minutes each. I phones for folks like us aren’t really a necessity but can sure imagine they’d be totally needed for bloggers. We have to pay extra if we use our cameras on our phones and we don’t have texting either. Our daughter complains about that but so far just hasn’t been a necessity. Her whole family (which includes her/hubs/2 teenage daughters have the fancy phones. Daughter says when she gets stuck on knowing what to do on some functions she has to ask her daughters.
Don’t see us getting IPhones ever as I can hardly figure out how to use my computer. So glad you found a great device to help you in your blogging and family picture taking. It sounds like a great device for folks like yourself. Hope you’re having fun summer.
Cool! My favorite new gadget is our Amazon Echo!
I’ll have to check that out Vel!
Ordered one immediately! Looks like just what I have been looking for. Thanks so much for sharing.
So glad you like it Stefanni!
As I go crazy with the “other” stuff on my phone, this will work wonders for my huge photo and music libraries. Thanks! And I covet your purse, it looks so rich and leathery!
Oh, the one that takes the coupon is out of stock now, too bad!
This is such a cool gadget! What an awesome find!
