Yes, you can plug in an external drive using the USB port on Amber X to expand storage capacity.   We support most of the major brands in the market.  For most compatible USB drive format for Amber X OS, MAC OS, and Windows OS, we recommend exFAT.

Here is External USB Drive Format Compatibility Matrix: 

Drive Format	Amber X OS	Mac OS	Windows OS
NTFS	read/write	read-only	read/write
exFAT	read/write	read/write	read/write
FAT16	read/write	read/write	read/write
FAT32	read/write	read/write	read/write
HFS+	read-only	read/write	Not supported
APFS*	Not supported	read/write	Not supported

 

*APFS: Apple File System replaces HFS+ as the default file system for iOS 10.3 and later, and :

Apple File System replaces HFS+ as the default file system for iOS 10.3 and later, and for macOS High Sierra and later. It is currently not supported by Amber X OS.

Note: "Open To All Amber Users" and "Auto-Export" options must be enabled for other users to be able to access USB drive and from Amber iX Mobile/Desktop.

If you like to connect multiple USB drives, please use an external power source USB hub to connect. You may need to use an external power source for your external drive/hub.

Encrypted external drives are not supported.

  Hi Mike, you can designate the backup directly to the external storage in Settings > Backup Settings > Destination Folder.

  How do I have my iPhone App backup its photos/videos or iCloud directly to external drive connected to AmberX?  I'm having an issue where the backup goes to AmberX internal, then runs out of space hence a full backup to AmberX cannot be done.

  The backup destination can be changed to an external drive in Settings > Backup & Upload > Camera Roll Backup > Backup Settings > Destination Folder.
