Только для небольшого объема

Работает с флешкой, но каждый раз по новой начинается копирование. Что сводит на копирование нескольких гигабайтов на несколько часов

Response from developer

Спасибо за ваш отзыв! AmberTime поддерживает очень быстрое инкрементное копирование (копируются только новые фото). Приложение использует собственную историю синхронизации, поэтому ему не нужно долго сканировать флешку. Если копирование начинается заново, скорее всего, вы каждый раз создаете новую задачу для резервного копирования. Чтобы быстро скопировать только новые файлы, не создавайте новую задачу. Просто нажмите на уже существующую задачу, которую вы создали в первый раз. Если у вас остались вопросы, пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной через email, указанный в приложении, и я с радостью помогу!

An absolute lifesaver for phone storage!

Backing up photos and files to a USB drive is incredibly simple and fast. Highly recommend!
