JD Drive 4+

So far it seems to work fine enough except that sometimes the app will just close while I'm looking at my transferred photos. Some photos didn't transfer and was never notified that they weren't. Like i said it works … but the other reviews make me suspicious.

I read the manual, selected “backup” to make a mirror image of my phone.

First, it only created a portion of my named files on my iPhone X. About half were not created/copied.

Then I checked the JD Drive to make sure my content (mov, jpg, png, live, heic) were indeed on the JD drive before deleting them on my phone. Guess what. Maybe 20-30% were viewable… the rest had the generic pic logo, wouldn't open.

I noted a few that were “corrupted” or for whatever reason were not viewable… went back to my phone, clicked about a dozen, manually transferred/overwrote the “bad” ones on the JD drive… still not viewable.

Nothing in the PDF user guide mentions this or offers any solutions.

Really irritating to wait almost 2 hours for stuff to download/babysit the phone to make sure nothing flakey happens, only to find the large majority of your stuff is not viewable.

I read a few reviews saying this thing is malware… can’t say yes or no, but it did seem to require a lot of permissions and since it’s a Chinese company, not sure I’m gonna stick this thing into my PC. Caveat Emptor 👎

Got the usb drive to use with I phone great gift great concept plugged in looked good then got message “error” could not get it to work after that. Too many complaints on this happening. My sense is developer knew problem on production line and put out to market anyway to recover cost of product thinking the cash will out weigh the returns. It’s seems too plausible when you have more than 50% users with similar problem especially when they don’t return email support request. Person who purchased it is returning this one and two others.
