Western Digital resolves the hassle of moving files between
devices with different connectors with the new SanDisk iXpand Flash
Drive Luxe. This new flash drive comes with two connectors, which
enables a quick move of files, eliminating the need to email
content from one device to another in order to upload or save.1
Once files are on the drive, they can be transferred using the
high-speed USB 3.0 connector to a USB Type-C-compatible computer.
Consumers who want a heightened sense of privacy can
password-protect their files and photos3 with the iXpand® Drive
app. The app can also be used to free up space on an iPhone or to
automatically back up photos, videos, documents and contacts
without the hassle of a slow internet connection.2 The drive is
available in 64GB*, 128GB* and 256GB*, allowing more space for
photos, videos and games.2

their creative abilities through content creation on vlogs and
social media on the go, which can be a burden without the proper

Western Digital. “The need to have several different digital
storage solutions to accommodate multiple devices can be
