## What is FotoArca Camera Companion?

Backup photos and videos from your camera, card reader, drone, or Apple Photos straight to your iPhone or iPad. Files stay on the device — not in iCloud.

Connect a DSLR, mirrorless camera, action cam, thumb drive, or card reader over USB. Camera Companion copies the files locally, then renames and sorts them by capture date. Apple Photos is left alone unless you choose otherwise. No Wi-Fi or cellular required.

What it does:
- Import from cameras, card readers, Files, USB drives, and Apple Photos
- Organize into date folders on your device’s own storage
- Work offline on trips, ships, and show floors
- Export back to a USB drive when you get home
