What's New in VaultDrive

7.0

October 12, 2026

• Unplugged by accident? Plug the same drive back in within about 20 seconds and the backup carries on by itself. If it stays unplugged, tap Resume to finish the rest. • Organize by date: photos and videos can go into year and month folders, like Photos/2024/03-March. Or keep your albums, as before. • Each iPhone now has its own folder on the drive, so backups from two iPhones stay apart. • Files already on the drive are skipped instead of copied twice. • Incremental backups check the drive first and copy again anything deleted from it. • The summary and History now list the files that weren't backed up, and why. • Files with characters like / or : in their names now back up. • When the drive fills up, VaultDrive tells you how many files were copied and what's left. • Files & Documents now sits under "What to back up", and Statistics & History is higher up in Settings. • Performance improvements and bug fixes.

Makes my phone use for better and longer terms

I really like this app, very useful and ease to use to back up
lot of my phone pics to other portable usb drive, helps to make room for more productive apps and time to pro it up for quicker transfer of more pictures and video.

Painfully slow and hit or miss, website says free, yet the important features require a pro purchase

**update 7/12/26** with the newest release, I’ve finally been able to complete a backup locally to my x9 pro. Hopefully things continue to improve as the app is updated.

**Original review**
I’ve only been using this app for a few hours and so far it’s been unsuccessful at completing a backup. Paired my Crucial X9 Pro 2TB SSD and my iPhone 15Pro, currently encrypted backup is not supported but it is in progress. I’ve tried exFat, apfs, and so far neither will successfully finish a backup. Once it begins, it fails photo after photo everytime.

Response from developer

Thank you for updating this — and for sticking with it. Sorry your first backups kept failing on your X9 Pro. That iCloud-optimized storage issue was real: if originals lived in iCloud, VaultDrive only saw previews. v5.0 added download-from-iCloud-first, and v7.0 added resume + incremental + per-file error report, so a drop doesn't kill the whole backup. Glad to hear the latest release finally completed your backup locally. On pricing — VaultDrive is free to try, Pro is a one-time unlock for unlimited + incremental backups, no subscription. We hear you that wasn't clear enough, and we're making that clearer in the listing. If v7.0 is working well for you, consider updating your rating when you get a chance. Either way, thank you for the detailed feedback — it helped us fix this.

Excellent, I was able to backup 30GB of my local media to my USB drive in under 15 minutes

It’s very nice app , I was able to backup photos videos files and documents which are stored in my iPhone with just simple two clicks and it took under 15 minutes, I have used sandisk usb drive which better read write speeds

Also, I was able to backup media and files which are in iCloud and directly to my USB drive , this iCloud download option is one of the best option I have ever tried .
