## What is Azalea?

Azalea Photos lets you view and manage your system photo library and automatically back up the originals to a USB drive, your own cloud storage (COS, OSS, or S3), a Samba NAS, or WebDAV. Nothing is uploaded to us. Another device can claim a library already stored on the same drive or bucket. A paired Apple Watch can browse photos already stored in your cloud or on a NAS. Its settings sync from the iPhone. The watch does not back up photos or read its own library.
