        Android--Master, 12 Nov 2020Based on what you said it seems that you are that guy who n... moreI will add additional information so that no one will believe the nonsense you say.

        SSE Encryptor provide AES ecnryption even NSA approved the use of AES to protect TOP Secret information and it also used worldwide.

        At present, there is no known practical attack that would allow someone without knowledge of the key to read data encrypted by AES when correctly implemented.

        Even if you use the world’s most powerful computer it would take more than quadrillion years to brute force a 128-bit AES key let alone 256-bit.

        In 2017 Dutch researchers manage to get the encryption key using a side-channel attack with improved antenna and signal processing but you’ll need to be less than a yard away from the device you’re targeting.
        So basically if you don't know the key doesn't matter how good you are as a hacker or your computer you'll never be able to crack it open.

        But if still think some low tier hacker can crack it open i'm willing to test it out maybe you can do better job than those reasearchers.

        It will be better for you if you can stopped being igno®ant and educate yourself instead spreading false information.

          WOW what a disappointment Google has become.
          Once the company that did really cool stuff like give unlimited storage of our photos, and despite the price of storage going down, and Google's profits from our Corona Lockdowns soaring, they want to now charge us for storing our photos... Shame on Google!

                Lol sd card is one of the worst storage for long term backup, i know it's hard for you to understand if you never experience sd card failure or something like that but as for someone who own a photo studio i know for a fact the combination of physical storage and cloud is better than just physical storage.

                If you smart enough you'll realize that iphone user can do the same thing that you said just som regular flash drive and cheap lightning cable from chinese brands.
                I tell you about about OTG flash drive because it's easier to cary around than a cable and flash drive or card reader, it also more durable because the case is made of metal usually stainless steel.

                  I tell him/her about iXpand (Lightning OTG flash drive) because it's better solution than carying around a OTG cable but if you prefer using a cable you can use any cheap lightning to USB A for file transfer.

                  Even though i'm android user (you can check my profile) i'm not so closed minded like you.
                  Did you realize that the USB connector on most android phones the we use imitating the lightning connector that Apple already used when Android phones were still using Micro USB?

                      NSA and even low tier hackers can easily break through the encryption these days.
                      Best way to keep your files safe and out of reach of these institutions is to not give access to them at all.

                      Clous storage will never match up to the ease of accessing files via SD card.
                      No download/upload needed.
                      No need to rely on Internet connection.
                      I am not downgrading myself to cloud storage ever!

                      Keep your iExpand to yourself.
                      I can connect anything I Want to my phone using OTG.
                      No need to buy a particular flash drive just so that one could connect it to their handicapped iOS based device.

                          I'm an android user forever but I have to say that we (android users) are so cheap, no wonder the play store is crouded with crappy apps, not mentioning that finding a good game is a huge struggle. 15Go for free with budget phones starting from 32Go storage is very sufficient (unless someone stores memes and random pictures on their cloud account). I'm defending google on this one especially since I've bought many apps from the play store and contacted google customer support 3 times and they were much better than Netflix crappy customer service.
