File names after transfer

Hi Fernando and Bart,

I’m Fred from SanDisk Customer Care. Thank you for posting in our forums. 

In iPhones and iPads, iOS assigns a random file name for photos and videos in the camera roll and sometimes these file names are not unique (when users delete some photos, add photos sent by someone else etc.). Therefore in the iXpand Sync app - file name change occurs during the camera roll sync process as a method to identify previously synced files in order to prevent them from being duplicated during future sync operations.

File names will remain the same if copied to the iXpand using the standard copy operation.

With either method of file copy (camera sync or standard file copy) file dates are preserved when copied to the iXpand. You can sort the picture and video files by “date modifed” in windows folders. This will allow you to view the pictures and videos in chronological order.
