Works ok

Backs up great but seems to dump all photos into one folder. If I have two or more folders they all go into the same one

Very unstable

When it works it’s very fast. However rarely did a few hundred photos get transferred before it gets stuck or throw an error of some type. I have cable Ethernet to PC and a wifi6 router i don’t think I have a WiFi problem.

Errors during transfer

Used to be good, but now I get an error mid transfer every time. It’ll do like 50 then give me an error (while it sometimes continues). Not sure what to do, website support isn’t helpful.

FAQ

What does PhotoSync do?

PhotoSync is a cross-platform application designed for transferring and backing up an unlimited number of photos and videos. It supports direct transfers between mobile devices, computers, NAS devices, and various cloud storage services, all while preserving full resolution and metadata.

What are the key features of PhotoSync?

Key features include cross-platform compatibility, unlimited full-resolution transfers with HEIC and RAW support, automatic file organization into folders, direct Wi-Fi transfers without internet, and backup options to NAS, cloud services, and local storage. Premium features offer autotransfer, client-side encryption, and advanced Siri support.

How much does PhotoSync cost?

The app offers a free version that allows you to test its transfer functionality, though transfers are in low quality and RAW/HEIC files are converted to JPEG. You can remove these limitations by purchasing PhotoSync Pro as a one-time in-app purchase.

What devices is PhotoSync compatible with?

PhotoSync has native apps for mobile devices (iOS and Android), as well as support for Windows and Mac computers. It also mentions compatibility with Linux and various NAS devices, cloud services, and photo platforms.

What are common use cases for PhotoSync?

Common use cases include backing up your entire photo and video library from your phone to your computer or NAS, transferring media between different mobile devices, and moving photos from cloud services to local storage or vice versa. It's ideal for users who want to manage their media library independently of cloud services like iCloud or iTunes.
