User reviews

Backup your pictures to NAS

Nice app that I use to backup my iPhone pictures to my NAS. Works quick and easy.

I had some trouble at the first set up while detecting the NAS but after about 30 minutes it showed up and the rest was a breeze.

推荐购买

值得购买,希望出个mac版本,本地化一点接入阿里云盘啥的

可以按相册备份挺好的

有些照片要保存在手机里面

希望能按相册的添加时间修改元数据,不然没有元数据的图片视频到NAS都排序乱了

下载过很多软件,都没有这个功能,希望作者大大要是能开发,开发一下这个功能!!!

希望增加功能

本地同步到外接硬盘后,本地删除一张照片,执行同步,希望外接硬盘也同步删除一张照片
