About
Card Sync copies the files on your SD card, microSD card or USB drive to your iPhone or iPad. Copies to a folder are checked against the original before the job is done.
Plug the card into a USB-C or Lightning card reader, pick the card in the Files picker once, and save it as a preset. Next time it's one tap.
WHAT YOU NEED
An SD or microSD card reader that plugs into your iPhone or iPad (USB-C or Lightning), or a USB drive. Any reader that shows the card in the Files app works.
COPIES ONLY WHAT'S NEW
Card Sync looks at what's already in the destination and copies only new or changed files. A card with 2,000 photos and 12 new ones copies 12.
EVERY FOLDER COPY VERIFIED
When you copy to a folder, each copy is compared byte for byte with the original before it's kept. If anything doesn't match, the copy is thrown away and the file you already had is left alone. Verify is on unless you turn it off. Photos imports go to Apple's Photos library, which can't be read back byte for byte.
NEVER OVERWRITES A DIFFERENT FILE
Cameras restart their numbering, so this week's IMG_0001 isn't last month's. In Keep Both mode Card Sync saves both instead of replacing one with the other.
YOUR DESTINATION, YOUR CHOICE
Copy to iCloud Drive, to On My iPhone, or to any folder you pick in Files.
Or import straight into your Photos library.
MADE FOR THE CARDS YOU ACTUALLY USE
When you make a preset, pick what's on the card and Card Sync sets sensible defaults for it:
• Photos and video from cameras, action cams and drones
• Trail cameras
• Flight logs from avionics and engine monitors
• Any other files
Built-in device presets work with files from cameras, GoPro, Insta360 and DJI devices, trail cameras, and Garmin, Dynon and JPI avionics.
TIDY BY DATE
Optionally sort copies into folders by date, and filter by file type so you only copy the files you want.
CLEAR THE CARD WHEN YOU'RE DONE
Optionally delete files from the card after they've been copied and verified. It's off unless you turn it on.
SHORTCUTS AND SIRI
Run a preset from Shortcuts or Siri, for example "Run Camera Photos".
SYNC HISTORY
See what was copied, when, and from which card.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your files go only where you send them.
