Introduction
iXpand™ Mini Flash Drive Overview
The perfect companion for your iPhone or iPad, the iXpand Mini Flash Drive lets you free
up space on your iPhone or iPad, back up your camera roll, and even watch videos
straight from the drive1. The flexible Lightning connector works with most cases and the
USB 3.0 connector plugs into your Mac computer or PC, making file transfers quick and
easy. The drive also includes password‐protection software to keep your sensitive files
secure across your devices2. Take all the photos and videos you want—with the iXpand
Mini Flash Drive you’re always ready to take more.
Free up Space Fast!
Free up space on your iPhone or iPad quickly and easily with the iXpand Mini Flash
Drive1. Simply plug in the Lightning connector and you can easily move photos,
videos and other files off your device and onto the drive. From there, you can
transfer the files onto a Mac computer or PC or store them on the drive.
Automatic Photo Backup
Set the iXpand mobile app to automatically back up your iPhone or iPad camera roll
anytime the drive is connected. No need to manually select which photos to back up.
Every time you plug it in, it does the work for you.

this by going into the iPhone settings screen and enabling the iXpand Mini Flash Drive
to access the iPhone photos.

option. This will copy the photos from the Destination/Source Folder selected to the
camera roll on the iPhone or iPad. The default folder is Camera Backup.

Securing Files/ SanDisk SecureAccess Software
SanDisk SecureAccess™ Software
The SanDisk SecureAccess software is designed to protect sensitive data on your
drive2. When security is enabled in the app, a special “SanDiskSecureAccess Vault”
folder is created in your drive. Any locked files are moved into the
SanDiskSecureAccess Vault and can be accessed only with a password.
Enable Security on iPhone or iPad
1 Connect the iXpand Mini Flash Drive to your iPhone or iPad.
2 Go to Menu Settings Security.
3 Enable the security by swiping the dot to the right.
4 Enter a password when prompted to set password. Then select OK.
5 Here there is another option of TOUCH ID authentication.
IMPORTANT: If this password is forgotten, locked files will not be recoverable.
6 Once the security is enabled, a folder called “SanDiskSecureAccess Vault” (along
with a SanDisk SecureAccess Vault Settings folder) would be created in the drive.
Do not delete SanDiskSecureAccess Vault Settings folder, if you want to use security
feature.
Secure Files on iPhone or iPad
1 To secure files, enable security first as explained above.
2 Select the files you’d like to secure.
