Archivio vs File Transfer Hard Drive

Archivio backs up your photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad directly to an external USB drive. No cloud, no subscriptions — your files stay yours. SMART SYNC Only copies what's new. Already backed up files are automatically skipped, saving time and space. Pause and resume anytime. Failed files automatically retry on the next run. SAFE & NON-DESTRUCTIVE Archivio only copies — it never modifies or deletes anything from your Photo Library or your drive. File integrity is verified after every copy. Your originals are always safe. FULL QUALITY Preserves original HEIC, RAW, and video formats. Live Photos are backed up as photo + video pairs. Original capture dates are preserved. Optional date prefix for filenames. FLEXIBLE - Filter by type: all, photos only, videos only, or screenshots - Filter by date range - Organize files by date, album, or flat structure - Create multiple tasks for different backup strategies - Duplicate tasks with one swipe LIVE PROGRESS Track backup progress with Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Minimize the app — sync continues in the background. Get notified when backup completes. HOME SCREEN WIDGET See your backup status at a glance — last sync time, file count, and task overview right on your home screen. STATISTICS & HISTORY Full run history with detailed logs for every task. See total files backed up, duration, and errors at a glance. PRIVACY FIRST No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Everything stays between your device and your drive.
