In This Video I Show You How To Use an External Hard Drive With Your iPhone 12, Im Sure The X & Maybe Even From The IPhone 7 & On You Can Use This Method.
I Use a WD My Passport 2TB & Atolla 3.0 USB Hub & Apples USB A 3.0 With Lighting Dongle.
Now if your plugging in a hard drive and nothings popping up you have to make sure it’s compatible , my wd passport had to be formatted to exFAT , you right click on it on a computer then click format , if it’s on NTFS apple will not be able to read it so change it to exFATT and click format , it takes seconds !

Amazing! after viewing a few videos of super annoying people trying to explain the process of direct transfer to a hardddrive I found your post. Your advice and instructions are perfectly clear and to the point. I got the exact hub you said and it works perfectly!!!! THANKS!

@TechinItOut100 Год назад

Glad I could help ! Enjoy 😊

Now that I have all the equipment needed to transfer my pics & videos from my iPhone, I’d love to see a video from you walking us through the process. I’m not tech savvy and could use the help!

@bdmenne Год назад

agreed. I have an iPhone 7, not a 12 like he does. I have all the other products, its hooked up, but I don't see what if anything is different with my phone.

@beckymankins3259 Год назад

Agreed….I have an XSMax and I’ve got al the equipment also and not getting it to work through my phone either. Frustrating & ready to empty these pics out of my phone!

I’m at the same dilemma. I’ve got an iPhone XR; I e purchased all the correct items shown, reformatted my WD Easystore with no luck. To reformat the Easystore required me dumping all of my stuff already stored on it to a computer. Help by finishing or adding another video.

You just made my day brother. This was the question I had but thank GOD I came across your video , now my questions have been answered

@allangrajek6688 2 года назад

Super big thanks. I so needed this for my yoga recordings. It was not doable to upload hours worth of content through the cloud and this made it possible for me to store the content and then get it off my phone to make space. Also helpful to then use the content in I movie for editing. I am grateful, thanks for sharing.

I think I finally got this to work thanks to your help! Transfer speed is pretty slow, but this is a good test. I only wish that there was some sort of progress bar to indicate how long a transfer will take.

@alaskawashington 2 года назад

this is exactly, brand for brand, what I’m trying to do haha. thank you SO MUCH. I’ve been doing research all morning and figured this out but finally a video just literally showing me it will work is so validating I now know the conclusion I came to is correct and I can actually pull the trigger and buy this stuff!

Hi, great video thank you. I do property inspections and have upwards of 50 gigs of photo & video on my phone. I'm required to keep all of it for a number of years. I’m paying for tons of iCloud storage that’s going up each month. I have the same WD 2tb storage that you do but am not skilled enough to make the transfer. I feel like this could be my best long term solution and have ordered the two hubs to make it work. If you could do a short video on how to safely move all of the pictures and videos to the hard drive, then delete completely from the iphone and cloud, you would solve one of my biggest headaches. I appreciate it, thanks for doing this one.

@TechinItOut100 2 года назад

Get all the stuff , once you have it plugged in and working it should be simple , which ever photos or videos you want to save just click the share button and click save to files and choose where you want it to save ! Hope that helps ya

@avitmc1357 Год назад

It also helps if the external hard drive is formatted in "exFAT". If the external hard drive is set to NTFS, or some other format, the iPhone will recognize it, but it will only be in "Read-Only" mode. You can access files, but you can't transfer or copy from the iPhone.

How do you eject the external hard drive on iPhone because I see nothing that says eject before unplugging?

@jozsiolah1435 Год назад

If your USB device is overheating, Samsung OTG connection can fix it, and won’t overheat anymore. Just connect to the OTG cable, then wait till the phone recognize it or not. Then, power the phone to standby. May need 5-10 retries, depending on your USB device. Overheating consumes more batt power, and the device may malfunction.

Idk why but I doesn’t work too well for me. I Can only save using flash drives. When I connect a hard drive and go to Files it doesn’t give me a SAVE option (in fact the “save” letters are shown grey color not blue ) so I can’t execute that option. What can I do. Please help 😊

You may need to format the hard-drive to exfat or some other apple compatible format, using an apple computer beforehand you can use it with your iPhone or Ipad.

@atom069 2 года назад

It's absolutely ridiculous that Apple lightning ports can't even power a simple HDD/SSD. USB-C can do it all without the need for external hubs doing all the work. Man what a bummer for a vastly over priced apple device.

@haon2205 2 года назад

Most cheap android phones are capable of powering hdd without using external power through usb c alone!

@junito1008 2 года назад

Don't be that ignorant !! The fact that the HDD or SSD is not powered by the lighting, have nothing to do with the cable or the device...the issue is the power that the HDD needs to work and the battery size of the device that you're using. For instance, if you plug the SSD in an ipad the SSD will work without any power supply.

@RiktorSkale Год назад

Hello question: I got the same Atolla USB hub as you, but instead, I tried connecting a lightning-to-USB cable(Amazon Basics) directly from my iPhone to one of the ports on that hub and it’s not working? Is the trick using that official Apple Lightning/USB adapter? (BTW I also have mine plugged into the wall and have a working exFAT thumb drive but it’s not recognizing it.) Would appreciate if you could test/confirm if the Apple dongle is what’s also necessary. I’ve wasted so much money and time trying to figure this 🤬 out. Thank you 🙏

@TechinItOut100 2 года назад

Hey Cody , I’m assuming your hard drive is for Pc not apple so in other words , you probably have to format the hard drive so the iPhone can read and write on it ! You can do this through a computer , so when you go to format it it’s probably on NTFS, change it to exFAT and click format ! That should solve your problem . :)
