PhotoSync backs up the photos and videos on your phone to your own computer over Wi-Fi — no cable, no account, no middleman. Or send them straight to your own cloud drive. WHY PHOTOSYNC · Private by design. Photos move between your own devices and your own accounts. We run no server and never see them. · No setup. Open the app on both ends and they find each other, like AirDrop. · Only what's new. The second backup takes seconds. · Built for big libraries. Thousands of photos and tens of GB of video, with resumable transfers — a dropped connection won't make you start over. CLOUD BACKUP (optional) Back up to your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Photos go straight from your phone to your account. Free for 7 days . Everything above stays free. NO APP ON THAT COMPUTER? Open a browser and pick photos off your phone — works on any computer on the same Wi-Fi. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open PhotoSync on your computer. 2. Open it on your phone; it finds the computer automatically. 3. Tap Sync. Photos land on your computer, sorted into folders by album. Your phone and computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi.
