Q. I have an iPhone running iOS 10. How can I copy my photos to a pocket flash drive before deleting them to free up space on the phone?
A. Although the iPhone does not have a standard USB port to connect a flash drive, you can transfer photos from the iOS 10 Camera Roll with special hardware that plugs into the Lightning port on the bottom of the phone. The portable photo-saving solution is handy, especially if you do not back your photos up to a computer or cloud service.
The Leef iBridge 3 Mobile Memory and the Picture Keeper Connect are two such USB devices designed for direct photo backup from an iPhone. Although their physical design differs, each has a Lightning connector, a standard USB plug and software for transferring photos.
The Leef iBridge 3 and the Picture Keeper Connect come in a range of capacities. Prices for the iBridge 3 start around $50 for 16 gigabytes of storage. A 16-gigabyte Picture Keeper Connect is about $120, but it includes a cable for also using the drive with Android devices that support the USB On-the-Go standard; Leef makes a separate line of drives for Android gadgets. (Most modern Android hardware uses a micro-USB connector instead of Apple’s proprietary Lightning plug, and other portable storage options include the SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive or inexpensive USB OTG cables that connect compatible Android hardware to standard USB drives.)
Cheaper alternatives for off-loading your photos include using one of the many cloud backup services, or transferring the photos to your computer. For the latter approach, plug the iPhone into a Mac or Windows PC with the same USB cable you use for charging. The operating system should give you the option to transfer the pictures to the computer’s photo library, just as you would import pictures from a regular camera. Apple’s site has a guide at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302.
Over time, the photos you take with your iPhone can start to take up a significant amount of space on your device, leaving little room left for apps, music, video and other content. One option is to move your photos from your iPhone to an external storage device, such as a thumb drive. You can copy files from your iPhone to a thumb drive through Windows Explorer; however, to free up the space on your iPhone you still need to delete the photos from your device after you copy them.
Step 1
Turn on your computer, and then connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable that came with the smart phone.
Step 2
Click the 'Start' button and then click 'My Computer.' Your iPhone appears as a camera beneath Scanners and Cameras. The name of your iPhone is the name you assigned to your smart phone in iTunes.
Step 3
Connect the thumb drive to the USB port on the computer. The thumb drive appears in the 'Devices with Removable Storage' section in the 'My Computer' window.
Step 4
Double-click the icon representing your iPhone in the 'My Computer' window. The photos and videos you've captured with your iPhone's camera appear.
Step 5
Hold down the 'Alt' button and then click to select any pictures you want to copy from your iPhone to the thumb drive.
Step 6
