The Photo Stick Reviews
About The Photo Stick
The Photo Stick has arrived to keep your pictures and videos, up to 60,000 of them, secure and safe in its memory. Having a backup is essential in case anything occurs to your main modem or hard drive, such as a commonly used laptop. You will need the mobile version of the PhotoStick if you wish to use it directly on your smartphones.
The Photostick comes with a built-in app that allows you to easily transfer all your media files in one simple step so you can rest assured that you have every memory safely guarded.
Products
Photostick only comes in three types of capacity: 8, 64, and 128 GB. The higher the number, the more pictures it can save. 8GB can keep up to 3,500 videos and pictures; the 64GB PhotoStick can reach 30,000 pictures and video, while the 128GB can archive a maximum of 60,000 pictures and videos. They all come with a standard USB entry.
How Does It Work?
It only takes two steps to function. First, you plug it into an empty USB port on your computer. Then you simply hit “Go” once the built-in application automatically launches and you are done. Disconnect the PhotoStick and keep it somewhere safe.
The PhotoStick works for iPhone, Mac, iPad, Android, Windows, and more, as long as it has an available USB entry port and if you buy the mobile version. A Photo Stick backup is not necessary. You don’t have to download any extra software or applications.
Cost and Price Plans
Price depends on the capacity you are buying. The 8GB option will cost you around $30; the 64GB costs about $51; and, the 124GB version is approximately $82. You can buy one at full price and receive a second pair for half off (of the same capacity as the one you purchase).

Refunds are allowed for up to 30 days but are not guaranteed. All shipping and handling must be paid for by the customer if you are returning the Photo Stick, or it shall be deducted from your refund total.

Online Reviews/Complaints
There are no problems worthy of mentioning, but you will find yourself with a lot of positive reviews regarding the PhotoStick mobile version.

The mobile version was a great hit for travel and quick backup of pictures and videos on the go.
Competitors and Alternatives
PhotoStick vs. Picture Keeper: Picture Keeper works basically the same way but costs a few dollars more. It will also require you to purchase one that will specifically work for your smartphone; with an iPhone or Android entry. Various capacities are available, such as 16GB.
ExpanDrive: Unlike the above, this tool allows for your cloud (or other online storage) to expand in storage size. This way you can back up all files and save even more securely. It keeps away the necessity of a physical element, such as a USB.
SmugMug: This site is more for creative photographers who wish to display their photographs online. Save hundreds of pictures and design a template the embodies what you wish to show. You control access to each picture as you see fit.
Where to Buy?
The PhotoStick should be purchased on their main website for best results. This is also the only way to keep the 30-day refund valid. You can purchase a PhotoStick at the following website: https://www.thephotostick.com/
Conclusion
You should always first decide what it is you are looking for and what it is that you require before making a purchase. Buying smartly requires planning and understanding what it is you need in a device.
The PhotoStick is good and it works but it should be compared to other devices to determine its overall usefulness to you. If you are not a big picture taker, a simple USB device that is way cheaper may just do the trick.
However, if you take tons of photos, then the PhotoStick may be the perfect tool that you need to back up your precious moments.

Bought two of them for over $80.00 and got scammed big time. Neither one works and it is impossible to get ahold of customer support. This company should be investigated for fraud.
Scam or rip off. Does not work. Cannot contact support, no phone # When emailing support get an automated reply telling you to use online. Online gives the message "something went wrong..." DON'T waste your money. Does not work. Cannot contact support, no phone # When emailing support get an automated reply telling you to use online. Online gives the message "something went wrong..."

This company is nothing but a scam. Bought two and both do not work as advertised. There is no way to call them, and email, well what email. These people should be put in prison.
I have to agree! I used it once, and it was taking so long that I had to cancel, hoping to return and try again later but next time I plugged it in (tried several times!), my computer refused to read the stick and I can't find any of my photos! I bought it months ago so have no hope of returning it.
I agree. My photostick does not allow me to view the photos I inputted. I threatened the company with a law suite but have not heard back,
over priced flash drives that are nothing more than what you can buy in Walmart for half the price. I called to return it and they told me I had to go to the home site and request a return label and have you to receive a response. An gong to try again and see if they respond or will surely make more negative DO NOT BUY reviews unless you want to pay two or three times as much for a flash drive you can get in local stores.
0 stars from me! I just got it and I can't even open it!!! I was skeptical, but after all of the wonderful things I've read or seen on youTube from other users, I finally relented and ordered it! Now I am extremely disappointed and really angry with myself for falling for this! I emailed support and hope to hear something very soon!
I just got one
Mine doesn't work either!
This product does not work and the return policy is ridiculous. Don’t wast your money like I did!
This product is a scam
All it is is a usb thumbdrive like anything else. It will grab and store your photos but you have no control so it takes all kinds of files (not things you think of as photos or even you remember) and then when the limit is reached, you don't know what to go back and delete from your drive. So what good is that? You still have your problem of no storage capacity and manually having to go through your drive storage and delete. No shortcut out of digital hell.
This product is garbage. Crashed the first time I loaded, and cannot reboot. Multiple messages sent to support, with a reply that a ticket had been placed. No reply 4 months.
This product and the company selling/pedaling it are junk. DO NOT BUY1
I had my credit card compromised and indicated to their customer service I did not purchase their product. In a dispute with my credit card company, they provided website information about "my order." My credit card, Citibank, denied my dispute and said I needed to resolve the issue with the company.
Photostick has no customer service. They are the worst of the worst in terms of consumer fraud. I hope people start to write complaints to the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs Offices in their state. This company should be shut down.
