Review on Apple MFi Certified Qubii Duo USB-A Photo Storage Drive - Auto Backup for iPhone & Android Type-C Phone | White by Mark Hayes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A very nifty fallback solution, but you need a few elements before you can use it.

WHAT YOU NEED THAT IS NOT INCLUDED:------------------------------------- -------------- ------- ---------- ----- -------one. Your own micro SD card up to 2 TB.2. Power adapter with USB-C connector. Qubii connects to this adapter.3. USB-C to USB-C cable. Here's how to connect Qubii to your Android phone's USB-C port.4. USB-c to Apple Lightning if using an iPhone. SOME USEFUL INFO: ---------------- ---* This is a good idea as Google Photos is now not unlimited.* This is basically a backup of every folder that there is an image. There doesn't seem to be a way to choose which folders you want to back up. I only need the camera's main folder for backup, but well, backing up too many files is better than too few.* After unplugging the power supply, you can use Qubii as OTG storage. You need to enable OTG storage in your system settings. If you have a case on your phone, you will probably never use it as OTG since you will have to remove the case. * Every time you want to transfer files to your PC, NAS, etc., you need to remove the micro SD card if your computer doesn't have a USB-C port. My computer doesn't support that, so I use a USB to USB-C adapter. This eliminates the hassle of ejecting micro SD cards, working with card readers, etc.* After you've securely transferred everything to your computer and deleted files on the micro SD card to free up space, Qubii still saves your account. . Even if those files are still on your phone, they won't be downloaded again this way. In conclusion, it remains to be seen how accurate and accurate this system is. For now it has secured everything I need. I know people complain about missing files, not all having backups, etc. Most of these complaints are related to people using iPhone. But we'll see, time will tell. It's 5 stars at the moment!

Pros

To use on a laptop (disable lock features to use): Plug the Qubii Duo into your computer/laptop's USB port as an external drive/photo stick for viewing, editing, and transferring. Can be used as an external drive, photo stick and flash drive. Smart and easy!
Cons
