- 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 !

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
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.
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!
Glad I could help ! Enjoy 😊
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.
Whew! I'm glad you finally unplugged that lightening power supply cause I was really needing to know that. Thank you. I just ordered your entire set up on Amazon and Apple. Appreciate your efforts!
Thank you for this clear and easy to follow video.
this was so helpful and informative!
Thank you so much for posting the second video actually showing how to step by step paste and transfer the photos and videos to our Seagate external hard drive . Thanks again and God bless!
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!
Great addition to my set up 😊
Same lmao, same iPhone and everything
Great video, just what I was looking for.
Very helpful and informative! Thank you :D
Dude. You are a legend. Thank you for this !
Liked this persona and nicely competent tech explanation, chime this again next month after I got a powered hub (I got a western digital )
SSD external drive is definitely the way to go - as provides much greater flexibility (and resilience) for travel.
Used the tiny WD ‘My Passport Go’ powered by my lightweight Anker powerbank for years, to edit videos from my iPhone8 when camping or backpacking.
An absolute game changer to not have to rely on electric sockets...👍
In short i can send photos directly from iphone12 with lightning vs usbc cable to SSD incl. All data of the photos ? I do not like to harm my SSD you know 😁
Damn I was losing hope but thank god your video popped up in the recommendation!
It worked 👍🏻
Crazy! I happen to have all 3 items shown. Excited!
My phone holds more Memory than my laptop so I was at a loss of how to backup. Looking forward to this Hack
Thank you!! Extremely helpful tips and suggestion! ☺️
This is so neat! Thanks for sharing.
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.
Thank you so much….you have no idea what your comment did for me. I have been up for hours trying to figure this thing out until I saw your comment. I appreciate you a ton 🙏
My Ex is fat
My ex is super fat
My ex is the ultimate fat
one of the best video i have ever seen on youtube
Thank you so much for this!!! This was super helpful.
Thanks for sharing! You save my day! ,🤩👍👍
Dude! You are the man!! I was pullling my hair out !!! Thx. 😀
THAAAAANK YOU SOOOO MUCHH I really needed this video !!!! so do i still have to buy also the apple camera dapter or with a usb hub i'm good to go ?
I purchased everything exactly what you got and it worked!!👍👍👍 thank you
No prob! Enjoy 😉
Brother How much data did you transfer and how much time did it take ?
Thanks for this vid. It answered two questions I had, and one major one being having to purchase a power supply but I have a USB block as well and if that acts as my power source this will save me some cash. I’m ordering the Camera adapter tonight and just bought the Samsung T7 Touch to TRSF my data,photos,vids etc off my phone. So this video had some info that other video coverages of this process didn’t have. Thanks a bunch ✌🏻
thank you! Worked for me. kind of regretting switching to iphone
Thank you. This was very helpful.
Thanks so much , help me a lot , I bought the same hub and working great .
Thanks for sharing! I have a small SSD (M.2) that I use in a tiny external thunderbolt adapter for my MacBook cuz it's 2TB, so I went to try this tonight when it dawned on me that I have the new USB-C to lightning adapter (technically it's a thunderbolt port on my SSD enclosure), and yanked on the cable too hard and now it's busted. Hopefully it'll work when I pick up another usb-c/thunderbolt to lightning that'll end up working, but I shouldn't get my hopes up, lol.
Either way, good to know! Just what I was looking for!
thanks for the tutorial.
i already had the 2TB WD My Passport SSD and bought the exact same USB hub as you. works perfect. this is the only way to get the drive to show up on an iPhone or iPad. the drive always worked fine on my iMac.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
💕🙏🏻💕
thank you so much! indeed very helpful! :)
Thanks… you saved my time !!!
OMG! Thank you so much for your help.
Thank You. Really great tip 😊
Awesome video! Very informative! Thank you.
This was very informative, thanks a lot
Thank you for that troubleshooting!!!!!
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!
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.
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.
thank you so much bro youre the best!!!
Thank u…buying these now 👍
Great insight. Thanks for sharing😊
That was interesting. So can you transfer content to a big HD? Would it be possible to use the iPhone's camera and have the big HD as the target disc? Live? Only the HD volume will limit the time for the camera to record?
Recording video , editing video on my iPhone, you aren’t lying about storage. I have 200 videos on my 256gb iPhone and I only got 50gb left. I could transfer anything to my ESSD using my laptop , it kept giving me errors. I’m gonna try this out, thanks!!
Hi thank u for your insight. USB powered hub & USB charger are 2 different things!, finally I get it. Please I can not seem to have an option on photo app to download t hard drive, just iCloud Drive. Any more insight?
your test is a prayer to my question lol. all other youtube I found says that only Samsung SSD works, not the Sandisk SSD but I wanted a Sandisk SSD for the look :P
Thanks man I’ve been working on this to move my iMessages to an external hard drive haven’t figured it out yet might switch to Samsung because it’s important for me to keep messages for work stuff
wow, wow and wow you save my life, time and money...Thank you so much
Thanks for the video
This totally worked thank you very much!
Thank YOU 🙏🏾! Enjoy !
Thanks for the video, can you add a link for that USB hub? I can’t find one that has the USB A cord attached.
You can get duel 2 leg usb cables that allow on usb cable to provide the power the other plugs into the hard drive
Hi thanks for the video can i use a older d link hub to get power
yeeeeeeees~ it works. Thank you so much
Cool stuff. Thank you
Hello enjoy your video can you tell me what is the full name of the white device you are using thanks
Excellent... Am trying.....
After watching ur video I got a 2tb ssd for my Samsung Note 10 plus it work great now I have alot of memory
After endlessly googling on why I could'nt save anything onto the hard drive. Make sure the hard drive is formatted to "exFAT" you can go onto "File Explorer" on your desktop, right click the hard drive and click Format. If its set to NTFS, turns out it will be in "read only" mode. Hence why I couldnt save anything. Everything is working now thank god thank you so much for this video
I don’t have a computer How can I fix read only in my iPad?
Thank you, sir, and God bless you!
Thank you!
I have iPhone 14. Would you please provide me with the 2 items I should purchase to accomplish the same results.
Can you use the powered hub without the extra lightening power - and plug a flash drive directly into the usb hub?
I have the port usb 3.0 high speed Hub . This is not working at all so do I really need to get the one you use ??
Great! Thank you.
OMGosh! I've been frustrated for sometime on this. I need to clean my phone, with pictures & video's going to icloud, it's been difficult to figure out how to back up photo's. Thank you for explaining and thank you to your follow-ers for the comments.
Good video. Thank you.
Would’ve been nice to see you backing up data from phone to HD
Ok, thanks for sharing this video,
Hey T.I.O., question? U wanted to see if the drive stays on the phone, by unplugging it from the dongle? How is that possible? That would mean, it's not connected to the phone, Right? I don't understand? Thanks, appreciate a better understanding.
Great video: I've been looking quite a while for this solution. However, now that I have a Mac, I find it easier to transfer from iPhone to USB 3.0 external hard drive by plugging both to the Mac and using Image Capture (this app comes default with the Mac).
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 🙏
Thank you so much you answered my questions that I’ve been asking everyone for years thank you so much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
how to unmount? thank you for the video. have the same device
I cannot thank you enough for creating this video; you are a Godsend!
I'm heading deep into the wilderness for 50+ days to hike & take videos with just my iphone, an external hard drive, a power bank & my atolla 4 port usb hub, and was wondering how to get videos off my camera onto my hard drive without cellular data, wifi, or a computer and without having to return back to civilization.
How this works without electrical power: hook the atolla to a powerbank with USB adapter; plug the atolla USB into the passport, and plug the external hardrive into the atolla. Voila!
God bless you & thank you for this video!! Will be giving you a huge shout out of gratitude on my channel in an upcoming video I create talking about my gear for my upcoming hike.
Appreciate it man , enjoy your time in nature ! Wish I was there with ya ! Glad I could help !
Take some solar with you , maybe 🤔.
Hope next December can enjoy a hike
Just curious. Could you try plugging to lightning cable, to a Samsung power brick or xiaomi or something. They have like 55W, 90W
NAH HOMIE HOOOOOKED IT THE F UPPPPP 🙏🙏🙏 you deserve an award or something
I’ve been trying to download to my computer but the reason I bought the passport was to free up my laptop cause it’s very very slow. Any advice
hi there, i was wondering if you used the mac or windows version of the Western Digital External Hard Drive? i was going to purchase one on amazon, but i wasn't sure which one was needed. thank you so much! I'm so excited to get these 4k videos off my iPhone and free up some storage!
It’s for both ! And even if you get the windows one it might work if not format it to exFat and that should do the trick
What formatting does the external HD need to be in?
Thank you so much!!!!
does it transfer voice memo files as well?
Would you be able to link each of the items you purchased exactly? Either in the description or the comments? I’m not that tech savvy and I’d like to have it exact one to one!
great video
What external drive you would recommend for reasonable price ?
Why u not try with otg (on the go) plug? It more simple and smaller
Is there any way to preserve exif data when transferring photos from iPhone to hard drive using this setup? When I transferred photos in this way, all photo info seemed to be lost including the photo shoot date.
😎 info dude 👍
can i use the atolla 3.0 (7usb slots) ‘cause the 4usb like yours isnt available to our country. thx you!
Thank you 🙏
The Lightning to USB3 adapter works kind of like a switch for the USB port, so always connect the Lightning port at last.
USB drives that only blink when connected will sometimes come to life when you reset the whole contraption by pulling the lighting and reconnect it to the device…
I have a WD Elements 2TB hard drive running on an iPad Pro 2nd gen from 2017. Keep in mind that those drives need a little time to provide their TOC to the OS (up to 30 seconds) until they appear in the list of devices in the Files app…
Hi I have an iPhone 13 Pro and a Samsung SSD, will mine work only with the lighting to camera adapter? If I switch my hard drive into the port, give it power then switch it into my phone?
Anyone else here cause they’re realizing they don’t need a laptop?
🤣🤣🤣 greatest comment ever! That’s exactly why I’m here
Yup
...
F laptops and desktops they are for work not home. Lol. All about cell phones and tablets for home.
Amen!!!!👏🏾😂
Yep, trying to do youtube vids on the go without carrying a laptop
I have a question. I have a WD passport that already has pictures and videos from transferring on my Old PC laptop. My PC doesn’t work anymore. I read your description. If I connect my passport to the iPhone do I have to format it? And if I format it will I lose everything on my passport that I previously had?
Hi can you please help me or suggest I got the atolla and apple lighting thr wd is lighting up steady. But nothing pops up on my file from my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
Liked and subscribed too fellow vloggers. Nice content
Can you put a usb stick in the usb hub charger to transfer to usb stick?
♥️🙏🏻🥳😘😎👍
Thank youuuuuu Mate
Cheers 👌
Awesome!
Hello Brother..
What should be external hard drive format so that data can be transferred from iPhone to Hard Disk??
I want to use my iPhone to power my monitor & external drive together, is it possible? What kind of dongle will I need to buy for that?
