ThePhotoStick for Computers: Coupon Codes & Discounts

There is no coupon code for the official ThePhotoStick offer we link to: the page has no code field. The current official price is $34.99, and it is charged on the maker's own page. The brand's own store may run codes at times, and this page does not list codes it cannot verify.

What the $34.99 covers and what the page leaves out

The price is already applied when you land on the maker's page, so there is nothing to paste in at checkout. The page text we read does not show a price table, a multi-buy tier or a bundle, so we have nothing to explain on that front.

It does say the device comes in multiple sizes, with the roomiest one topping out at a library of 60,000 photos and videos combined. How $34.99 maps onto those sizes is not stated in the page text (more on that below).

Guarantee and shipping, as the maker describes them

The maker offers a 30-day money back guarantee. According to the page, if you are not 100% satisfied you can return the device. It also says that if you do not love it, the company will fix it. The page does not list the steps for a return or who pays for return postage.

• Guarantee: 30 days, return the device if you are not satisfied.
• Shipping: the maker describes it as fast and available anywhere in the world.
• Shipping cost and delivery times: the page does not spell either out before checkout.
• Support: the page says real people answer around the clock, every day.
• Company base: the page says it is owned and run from Haxtun, Colorado.

What the stick does once it is plugged into a computer

This is a small device that you connect to a Windows or Mac computer. The backup program lives on the device itself, so the page says there is nothing to download or install. You plug it in and the program starts running.

The page lays the process out in 3 steps: plug it in, press Go, and wait for the backup to finish. In that time the device searches every file and folder on the computer for photos and videos, copies what it finds, and sorts it. It also drops duplicate copies, so each file is kept only once and space is saved.

The copies are stored inside the stick, not in an online account. The maker presents that as a way to avoid cloud passwords and to keep files away from computer crashes. If you leave the stick connected, the page says it keeps backing up on an ongoing basis.

Who this suits

It fits someone with years of pictures and videos scattered across an old laptop or desktop, who has never sorted them and does not want to learn new software. The pitch is a single button and no setup, which is a real advantage if you are helping a relative who dreads technical chores.

It also suits people who prefer to hold their files on a physical object rather than pay attention to an online account. The page says it works on both Windows and Mac, so a household with mixed computers is covered.

The 30-day return window gives you a stretch to plug it in, run it on your own library and see whether the sorting and duplicate removal match what you expected.

Who can probably skip it

The page only talks about Windows and Mac computers. It says nothing about phones or tablets, so if most of your pictures live on a phone and never touch a computer, this page does not show how they would get onto the stick.

If you already have a tidy, sorted library and a backup routine you trust, the main selling points here, automatic finding and sorting, add little. And if you want your files reachable from anywhere over the internet, note that the page describes storage inside the device, not online access.

The caveat: the page never says which size $34.99 buys

The page mentions several sizes and a ceiling of 60,000 files counting both photos and videos, but it does not list the sizes or tie them to a price. The $34.99 figure comes from the seller's offer record, not from a price shown in the page text.

So before you order, check which capacity the checkout screen shows next to $34.99. If you have a very large library, make sure that capacity is enough, since the 60,000 figure is only the top of the range.

This is also a device that stores your only backup in one physical place, so it is worth knowing where you keep it. It is a practical point, and the page does not claim otherwise.
