Avoid this app like the plague. – SanDisk iXpand™ Drive Review

If you read my review of an earlier version of this program, you can stop here and understand that this version is worse. BACKUP DELETES FILES FROM ALBUMS RANDOMLY! Even after you press “DO NOT DELETE”. You can’t turn it off and I can’t figure out why those particular photos were selected. One backup, 20 images apart generated a backup of over 9,000 images. WHY? There were only 20 that needed backing up! Worse, I had to babysit the backup because it froze what felt like every 10 seconds. Restore still restores the whole library, without restoring your albums. Go figure out which copy to delete from your library. Better yet, try recreating albums of 500+ images. (Hint: IMHO, IMHO, IMHO this program is #2 on the list of don’t touch.) But what do I know? I only brought a company from the age of VAX to PCs, *nix, and server farms. ALL needing reliable backup and restore not of just libraries, but individual files in specific sub-sub-directories. OTS software handled this with proper aplomb, why not from this manufacturer? BTW - my PHOTOs library currently contains almost 24,000 images. Copy ONLY copies in DATE ORDER.
