Filenames changed when copying?

Legacy SanDisk Products iXpand™ USB 2.0

Hi all,

just tried my first copy of 2857 photos and movies. All went well but opening the folder on my PC I see that all filenames have been changed?

I see a couple of issues like this when googling but I thought this was supposed to be fixed by now?

I am using the “Copy files” option.

From:

iXpand Drive SDK version v115_v236
Drive firmware version 2.60.133.80
File System: FAT32

Please help.

I can’t stand the automatic renaming feature of photographs and videos while using iXpand. In searching online and in this forum, I see it’s an issue that has persisted since 2016 or 2018, it’s now 2024. I need this device to download pictures from my iPhone for court purposes, and the automatic alteration of the file name is a huge problem. Can I turn feature off? If not, this will be my first and last iXpand drive.
