Read full description

NuboDrive connects your iPhone and iPad to the Nextcloud cloud you get from your internet provider or your company. Your photos and videos are saved to your server automatically, and all your files are at hand in a single app, without relying on third-party clouds. AUTOMATIC PHOTO AND VIDEO BACKUP • Photos upload on their own, in the background, even with the screen off. • Original HEIC for maximum quality, or JPEG if you prefer compatibility. • Nothing is uploaded twice: not when resuming, and not from another device that shares your iCloud Photos library. • Upload only on Wi-Fi or only while charging, if you prefer. GALLERY • All your photos sorted by month, with fast thumbnails that never get distorted. • New photo and video viewer: zoom, swipe between photos, see the details and where each one was taken. • Multi-select to share, save or delete in bulk, choosing where to delete from. ALBUMS AND MEMORIES • Memories created automatically from your trips and from what you did “on this day”. • Automatic collections based on what's in your photos: beach, mountains, pets, food… • Places: your photos on the map, grouped by location, using the location stored on your server (HEIC photos and videos included). • Your albums live in the cloud, plus albums by year and by type (videos, panoramas, screenshots…). SEARCH BY WHAT'S IN YOUR PHOTOS • Type “beach”, “dog” or “cake” and those photos show up. It also searches the text in them. • Photos are analyzed on the device itself: they're never sent to any service. FREE UP SPACE • Finds duplicate and near-duplicate photos (bursts, crops), compares resolution, sharpness and compression, and suggests which one to keep. FILES • Browse your whole cloud: create folders, rename, move, copy and delete. • Upload documents and choose the folder; download whatever you need. • Preview PDFs, images, videos and Office documents. • PDF editor: draw, highlight, sign, rotate or delete pages, and save over the original. • Document scanner and public links for sharing. • Pin your favorite folders and files to Home. PROTECT • One VPN for your cloud and, if you want, for everything else. Choose what to protect: just your cloud, safe browsing or all traffic. • Four filter levels: block malware and phishing; add ads and trackers; and, at the strictest level, adult content with safe search. • Check with one tap that the filter is working on your device. • If your server is only reachable from your provider's network, NuboDrive connects Protect automatically. The VPN is provided by your internet provider or your company. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, a sidebar and views made for the big screen, in portrait and landscape. • In Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque and English. PRIVACY NuboDrive only connects to your provider's or your company's server. No ads, no profiling and no third-party servers. Photo analysis happens on your device. REQUIREMENTS You need the NuboDrive access provided by your internet provider or your company (email and password, or a 6-digit code).
