Hi. I'm soooo glad I stumbled across your video. I'm soooo glad, I gave a thumbs-up and subscribed!!! Of all the things that gave us a little pleasure, keeping and organising photos is the biggest headache. Thanks for your knowledge and insight and sharing it.
Omg...i need you sitting right here beside me. 😢😂😢...so much to learn. All i wanted was to clean my phone up the quick and easy way...i definitely will take more time getting ready ❤😂😢😮😅😢

Thanks for all your videos. I’m sorting many GBs of photos and videos slowly every few days and your videos keeps me motivated. I go agree an offsite backup is key
Great video, thank you taking the time and efforts to share the information😊 Question, once photos are on the storage device, can yhe be accessed individually to put on fb or used in blogs etc? If so, are all photos reloaded to computer or phone just to access a few at a time? TY
Hi there - The photo sticks usually allow you to access individual files but it can be tricky to find them. And, we've heard instances were people cannot actually open the files on the photo stick. Thanks for watching! Cheers! Mollie
Thank you for you honest review, I feel like this product is really unnecessary, and predatory towards older people who are less tech savvy. You could get a USB thumbdrive for your phone that's smaller, and more stylish, or just hook your phone directly to your computer, then to a either a thumb drive, or a flash card. They charge A LOT for what is essentially: A thumbdrive, an adapter, and a dodgy piece of crapper-ware software.
Hey Omni - thank you so very much for your thoughts!! I do think people spend money they don't need and then don't get the outcome they are looking for! Cheers! Mollie
thats a you thing if you can't find or can't continue with your last backup thats a you thing i know where & when plus i do know about icloud but i'm not paying anything to have more storage space. it all comes down to money.and it seems you have memory issues correct that and you'll be just fine. I do agree about which duplicates that right there makes sense but the other is personal responsibility God Bless You & praying for your Memory to be Better lol
Hi there - Yes, you can copy the photos to your computer from the Photo Stick. Hoping this helps! Where are you copying the photos from? Your phone? If you want, you can try copying directly from your phone to your computer. I have a series of videos on this. . . iPhone to PC (most common) - ruclips.net/video/sFQEsB9UQE4/видео.htmlsi=_6ao5o_3NK3cGItd Hoping this helps! Mollie
I really need your help. I got a usb flash drive and want to use it instead of cloud. Ive never done this before and scared to even try. I need to back up everything. Please can you help me?😢😢
Hi Sharlene - I know it's scary! Are you trying to copy photos from your phone to a computer? or your phone to a USB Drive? If to a PC. . . these might help. Here's a video on how to use Windows File Explorer to organize and save photos. Windows 10 - ruclips.net/video/Zayw5I0MuMo/видео.htmlsi=qXTHLE4BulP0bXfs Windows 11 - ruclips.net/video/Zayw5I0MuMo/видео.htmlsi=6H48FmG2odgS8zTs Let me know a few more details!! Mollie
Photo sticks typically classify photos in chronological order, with the most recent ones appearing first. You can change the order in File Explorer. As for the date format, it depends upon your File Explorer and computer settings. I can't speak to British date formats unfortunately. If you have a Mac, it's easiest to view them in order in the Photos app. Hope this helps!
Hi SandyLee - Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure about the light. Doesn't sound good and this is why we never use these. You can go to your file manager program and click on the drive to see its properties or information and that should tell you how much storage is on it and what is left for space. Hoping that this might help. If you tell me what computer you use, I could tell more. Cheers, Mollie
I bought 2No. Photo sticks then had a hard drive go done bought another computer as apple said they could not help me couple of years later that one went down plugged in my Photosticks then found they had somehow lost their interfas and was then not able to see my files So now I’m stuffed.
I thought Photostick would make my life easier. NO. I miss old school, but DO find USB & C flash drive to be the easiest for my Asperger's brain. Photostick made more work for me, and the duplicates! DESPITE checking off NO duplicates. A pain to say the least. I would have NEVER bought the Omni, but they sold me on "simple." Glad to hear a pro agree.
what can you do with the pics after you load them to the stick? can you load them to another computer to edit and print? doesnt sound like they work that way. But I have an old computer that turns on but doesnt go anywhere and theres 5 yrs of pics on it that I would love to see again so Im considering it but probly not.
Hi there… you can copy the photos on the stick to another computer. Not sure what order or folders they will be in and the process may vary from the different devices. You could also just copy your photos from the old computer to a regular USB drive and then copy them to your computer. Photos are usually found in the Pictures Folder, Desktop Folders, and sometimes in your Documents, Downloads and OneDrive (if turned on) folders… Hope this helps! Cheers! Mollie
Wow. First thing I don’t like in “advice” videos is presuming that people are stupid and they will lose their equipment or not do back ups. She gave 4-5 reasons why a photo stick is bad and two of them are that you won’t be responsible. The second piece of advice was to go through your photos (all 16000 of them? Really?) and organize them and get rid of duplicates. No way! That’s exactly the time consuming process I want to avoid. No mention of the possibility of your computer crashing, as well as your back-up drive, and losing your files (happened to me years ago) or the iCloud going south for some reason. That’s why I want to get a photo stick! They’re not that expensive and it will be just another back up. I thought she would be doing a review of the Omni Photostick so the title is misleading. I’m thinking she has a different plan/product to advertise here?
Hi emb74 - Thank you for commenting here and I'm sorry you were looking for a review of the Omni Photo Stick - I did refer to one in the video: ruclips.net/video/vxWe_zKgzSQ/видео.html and I am betting you found more reviews out there. We teach a method of saving photos for people who do want to get their photos organized and deduplicated but it is time consuming. And, we sell photo organizing services. Wishing you a speedy backup! Cheers! Mollie
I thought the same shit. I bought the photo stick because #1. I'm not a techie at all, and #2. I wanted to save my pics, docs, etc., without all the shit hassle. What she did was place more doubt/confusion. This was not about the photo stick.
So sorry Sedrouls - We've had many people lose photos on the sticks so I do caution people to save to their computers. I'm going to think about a video for people who aren't techie - and don't want the hassle. I very much appreciate your comments and for some reason this didn't appear in my notifications and I'm sorry for not replying sooner.
Hi Tajina - Then, you may need to use a photostick to copy photos from your phone to the photostick. Not everyone uses a computer anymore. . . so I get it. Alternatively, you could put a cloud storage app on your phone (We prefer Forever.com) - and get a copy in the cloud storage. If you can tell me more about your situation, I can try to help. (Android/iPhone, other cloud services you use.) Cheers! Mollie
Made no sense to me at all as you begin by saying don't backup to a photo stick and don't rely on having them on your computer and the video ends by telling us to back up on a USB stick and keeping them in a folder on the computer.
Hi there - I definitely don't recommend backing photos up on a USB stick. I recommend saving your photos on your computer in a folder and then backing that folder up to an external hard drive. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
@@Pixologie Nice plant...if you can't put a thumb drive in a place where you can find it later when you need or want it maybe you shouldn't be trusted to even have a computer.....
Sometimes it seems like they are taking advantage of consumers… who have good intentions but don’t have good tech skills or follow-through. Thanks for watching!

It’s a SCAM and the company is corrupt. No option for return and they do not reply to email.

In regard to the duplicate photo fixer pro. What if I've renamed the second photo from the first phot? Will this device know they are the same photo?
Hi there, yep Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro does catch them if the names have been changed in nearly all cases! Thanks for watching!

But nowhere can I find how photo sticks classify the photos. Are they in date order? And if so is it American date order or British?

how do i know when phot stick is full? I am getting message to plug in Omni and it is plugged in and lite is red

I’m so sorry to hear this… is there any chance the files could still be in there and accessible just not with their software.
