This thing gets quite warm when transferring lots of files. I use it as a backup of the phone or when transfering from an old device to a new one. There is also a metal one for a few dollars more.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 23 ultra. I have a Sandisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C 128 GB. When I plug it into my smartphone NOTHING happens!!! No menu, no prompts NOTHING pops up! Do I need to download something first? There are NO INSTRUCTIONS on this thing, it just tells me to go to the website, but when I type it in a bunch of jibberish comes up. Please help! Thanks
You didn't explain anything about how to make it work. When I plugged it into my Samsung cell phone nothing happened. That is the reason I came to youtube to try and figure it out. The samsung site I was on was worthless also. It didn't say a thing about how to make it actually work. Thanks anyhow
I didn't realize when I made this video that I'm using the FileManager+ app. It will automatically open when I plug in a drive. The standard "My Files" app will show it under the Storage section labeled "USB Storage 1" however it won't automatically open the app when you plug the drive into your phone. Hope this helps
Thanks for Your reply! Your the first to ever answer me. Thanks again I am terrible at these things that should work easly.

Thanks Grant, you are a big help. Still, please get to the subject, which is, in my mind "how to use it" Believe it or not, all these superfluous details you give us (thanks again!) are not nearly as riveting to us as you think, any more than if I gave you a bunch of superfluous details about me. Let me show you by example. I am trying to get my pictures off my Galaxy 22 Ultra to my new phone, and have been trying for days to get this done. I have spent hours (really) deleting photos to get rid of things I don't need in the new phone. I do have several phones, that I no longer use. In fact, I will take my Galaxy 22 Ultra back to Costco today and trade it in, they are giving me 800 dollars for it at T Mobile. Otherwise, I could not afford it. It's really cold here today and I need to warm up the car. I do have problems with my thyroid, which makes me insufferably (to me and everyone else) impatient. Im getting medical help for that but it takes months to get to see a specialist. Thanks Grant
I could have skipped the first 2:45 which is all about complaining that his different flash drive device has a broken lever... Anyway, when I plugged the SanDisk into my Android phone it did NOT immediately give me that popup message "Open File Manager to handle SanDisk"....

It's hot because of the compact size. Any other flashdrive gets hot too, but they typically have a lot more bulk and plastic to insulate it so you can't feel it. Nothing to worry about.
