1 in 3 smartphone users (33%!) will lose their photos and videos to water damage alone…Here’s my story
All I heard was sizzling…
…and all I saw was smoke.
And by the time I realized what happened…
…my phone was toast.
Literally…FRIED.
The frayed charging cord I’d put off replacing destroyed my phone.
…And everything on it was gone.
Contacts, emails, texts, photos, videos…EVERYTHING!
GONE..in the blink of an eye…
Thankfully it didn’t catch fire…but the damage to my phone was done.
To be fair…it took a beating in the weeks leading up to this…
Dropped from a scooter driving 40 mph…
…and splashed with water next to the pool.
And when I think about the 1,000 other times I dropped my phone over the years…
…I think it finally just gave up.
Fortunately I had replacement insurance to cover it…
…But we were on vacation in Mexico,
So I’d be without a phone until we got home…
I thought ‘A few days on vacation without a phone may actually be kind of nice’
But then…
…my stomach dropped and panic set in.
‘What about all the photos and videos of our vacation!!!’
You see…
We’d been in Mexico for almost three weeks with less-than-stellar internet service…
…so I wasn’t able to update or back up my phone since we arrived.
So all of the memories from our first family vacation out of the country…
…and thousands of other photos that hadn’t been backed up were gone…
FOREVER!
Or so I thought…
And then, a wave of relief flooded over my body!
Because the night before my phone took its final siesta…
I remembered that I had already backed up all my photos and videos!
Just not to ‘the cloud’…
So, my husband knows I take A LOT of photos and videos…
…especially when we’re on vacation!
And he thought it would be a good idea to have a backup plan to save all our memories…
…just in case we didn’t have internet service or something went wrong with our phones while in Mexico.
He looked everywhere…
…Electronics stores, camera stores, and so many websites.
But everything he found needed an internet connection to work…
Then a few days before our vacation he came home from work with a big smile on his face…
…He was holding this little device that looked like a USB stick and said ‘I think this is exactly what we need’.
But here’s the thing…
…it wasn’t like any USB stick I’d ever seen before.
Because not only did it have a regular USB plug on one end, but it also had a real small plug on the other…
I was a bit confused until he explained how it works…
He said ‘You see this end with the small plug? This plugs into your phone where the charger goes, and when you plug it in, it prompts you to back up all your videos and photos. One click. That’s it. And what’s really cool is that it holds up to 60,000 photos and videos offline for safekeeping…’
‘the only thing you need to do is install the free file backup app first for it to work.’
‘Then, when you’re ready to transfer them to your computer, you simply plug it into a USB port and upload your photos and videos like you normally would…’
I was skeptical that it could be that easy, especially since I’m not terribly tech-savvy…
..So I tried it and you know what?
IT WORKED! And It really was that easy!
Just launch the app, plug it in, and click go.
Thousands of photos and videos saved in one click!
And the best part?
It works on Apple and Android devices (even iPads!), all Mac and Windows PC’s, and it doesn’t need an internet connection to work!
Oftentimes your phone will start running slow and it can become frustrating to use…
…Apps and websites freeze or you get ‘storage full’ messages when you’re trying to take pictures.
This is often due to storage space being taken up by things like photos and videos…
…There’s just not enough space available for the data required for the apps on your phone to run properly.
But this neat little device fixes that!
Not only does it allow you to quickly back up and save up to 60,000 photos and videos, but it’s also an easy way to free up space on your phone and make an old phone run like new again!
Take it from me…
Losing your phone on vacation is annoying for sure…
…but it would’ve been a real disaster to lose all of the precious memories from our trip too.
Especially since this was the first family trip where the kids didn’t argue!
I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to learn how to use it in time for our vacation…
But once I saw how easy it was I knew I’d get plenty of use out of it.
In fact, it’s so easy to use and he got such a great deal, my husband even bought one for my Mom, my sister, and my daughter!
It’s called The Photostick Mobile and if you are looking for a quick, safe, and easy way to back up all your photos and videos…
…and free up a ton of storage space on your phone,
This incredible device is exactly what you’re looking for.
There are a variety of storage sizes available for both Apple and Android users…
…and they have great deals if you decide to get more than one. (They make perfect gifts!)
The fact is 1 in 3 smartphone users (33%!) will lose their phones to water damage alone, so don’t risk it!
