Has anyone tried the product called PhotoStickMini? If you have . . . what is your opinion about that?

I won't bother with them.
I can easily copy photos to a blank USB fob, and I know where all my photos reside.

Might be fine for people who have no idea where they put their photos or don't know how to move files on a computer.

You’re better off knowing how your computer's file system works. Envision the file system as a filing cabinet with drawers, folders in the drawers, and dividers between the contents in the folders.

This topic has come up before. You're better off with a less expensive flash drive. I think someone here said he liked it, though. You can simply do a search for jpg, etc. and see which ones you want to save.

The issues are: 1) way overpriced for the amount of storage involved (2) it may not find all your images (3) there are a LOT of JPEGs on your computer that have nothing to do with images you took.

Just buy a USB drive (for 1/3 - 1/4 the price) and copy the images you want form the locations that YOU know the location of.

Yup, probably a bunch system and application images one would not want/need on the fob.

If you have a Windows PC, just copy your “Pictures” folder to a flash drive. Done.
