Reviews
Airplay support
Blackstaff
Love the app, but I can only give it four stars. I'd give five stars if this app had airplay support.
No scalability
Rsdonovan
The app requires you to select each file individually and transfer. I tried several time to transfer ~1000 photos all at once an again in smaller batches but the app crashed each time. I've been unable to use it as a media back up since purchasing it two weeks ago.
How do I use Ios VLC with media drive?

How do I use real player cloud or vlc to connect from my ios device to media drove to play mkv files? I upgraded firmware and no joy.
Bad

This app is bad. It lags for a minute between screens and loses connection with wifi. A web interface would have been much easier to use
Slow Video
parkand
Had Sandisk Media for about 2 months. Opening files work fine but he streaming video with an iOS is slow, it continues to stop and buffers and it is frustrating, I not sure how they can claim it works fine with 3 devices when one device is a struggle.
Awfully!!?
palermo!!!
Had high hope but the app and the hardrive is a waste of money,hardly works and when it does it lags like crazy. Don't bother. This app and the drive deserve negative stars⭐️.
Great idea, poor execution

I made the “mistake” of getting a 16GB phone which I routinely fill up with either photos or music. So I initially bought a mophie Space Pack 32 GB so I could have extra storage physically attached to my phone at all times. The mophie app is well-designed and easy to use, but has no support for playlists, which frustrates me, as I often want to put my large, organized music collection elsewhere. So I thought the SanDisk Media Drive would be a great solution…except you can’t transfer existing music files or playlists from an iOS Device to the unit. Okay, that’s somewhat understandable due to licensing and services like iTunes Match. But even when I put the music on via USB, it doesn’t recognize m3u files at all! It doesn’t even treat folders as playlists, so organizing my music in any way on the Media Drive means nothing, because the app doesn’t care; it can’t see them at all. Though you can create playlists on the via the Media Drive app, I have no idea what file type the playlists are, or where they’re stored (not actually on the drive, it seems, but perhaps within the app data on the iOS device?), so they can’t be edited. You can’t even change the name. You can’t add additional tracks to an existing playlist later, which means if you accidentally forgot one, or added more tracks to your WMD later, you’re stuck. There’s no way to see what tracks you’ve already added to another playlist, either (though of course you SHOULD be able to add a track to multiple playlists). In sum: if you are working with ANYTHING OTHER THAN MUSIC, your experience with the WMD should be easy. But trying to work with music playlists makes it a pain. I’m wishing for a more iOS 7-styled app, along with playlist management. A more sensible way for the WMD to be connected to Wi-Fi while your iOS device is connected to the WMD would also be welcomed, since it didn’t like me trying to connect to my default Wi-Fi network at home via the app. It restarted the WMD, even crashed the app, but no matter how many times I checked the WPA2 password for my Wi-Fi, it wouldn’t connect. But, it will connect to open Wi-Fi and be connected to your iOS device simultaneously, so you don’t HAVE to use your cellular data if you don’t want to.
Product has potential; file transfer flawed

I have worked with SanDisk support, exchanged the drive, and purchased a new one but every time in transfer photos or movies from my iphone to the drive, I receive a "files not transferred" after only a few files. If you read the sandisk forums you will see others experiencing this. It seems to be an app related problem. I would think if it were coded correctly that it could recover from errors and reupload files as necessary and then verify that all files were transferred. Without this, there is no way to easily transfer all of your photos and videos off of your phone. I mainly wanted to do this for vacation so I switched to OneDrive which is currently offering 30gb free. They have a camera roll back up that has been working fantastically! I hope sandisk can perfect their product...
Does not work anymore
