Dual USB Type A & Lightning Connector

The PIODATA iXflash is a 256 GB flash drive with both USB Type A and Lightning plugs, letting iPhone, iPad and computer users move files without cables or cloud services. Apple MFi certification guarantees full compatibility with iOS devices.

Buyers who need cross-device photo backup

It suits anyone who wants to offload photos, videos and music from an iPhone or iPad directly to the drive, then plug the same stick into a PC or Mac for editing or archiving. Users without Lightning-port devices, or who require more than 256 GB of capacity, should consider other options.

Plug-in storage that frees iPhone space

The drive draws power from the host port, so no external supply is needed. Its extended Lightning tip fits most iPhone cases, allowing instant backup or direct 4K video recording to the stick. AES 256 encryption and read-only mode protect sensitive files while the companion app handles password-protected ZIP archives.

Questions about this item

Do I need the free iXflash app on my iPhone or iPad before I can move files to the 256 GB drive?

Yes — the drive works with the iXflash app, which handles backup, restore and direct capture of photos and videos to the 256 GB storage.

Will the Lightning connector still fit if I keep my current iPhone case on?

The extended Lightning connector is designed to fit most iPhone cases, so you can plug it in without removing the cover.

How can I confirm the AES 256 encryption is actually protecting my files after I set a password?

When Trust Circle Key-Lock is enabled, the app shows a lock icon next to encrypted folders and requires the password every time the drive is inserted.
