PulseDrive vs VidFloat

Back up before you delete. Keep private files behind a lock. PulseDrive combines verified photo and video backups, an encrypted file Vault, and ordinary on-device file organization for iPhone and iPad. BACK UP YOUR WAY Copy media to a writable folder you choose through Files, including a compatible external drive. Start with your library, recent items, large videos, favorites, screenshots, an album, a date range, or your own selection. Back Up What's New skips unchanged items already verified on that destination. CHECK THE COPY Choose Basic, Size Match, or Checksum verification. Review a completion receipt with verified items and anything needing attention. A portable manifest travels with each backup so you can import history when reconnecting its destination. PAUSE, RESUME, AND RESTORE Pause safely and resume unfinished work. Follow supported backup progress with a Live Activity. Browse backup files and restore selected photos or videos to Photos. Keep PulseDrive open to finish large transfers; iOS may pause work when background time expires. A PRIVATE ENCRYPTED VAULT Create a separate, password-protected home for personal photos, videos, documents, and other files. Use supported Face ID or Touch ID unlock, organize collections, and configure recovery options. Create encrypted Vault backups and explicitly restore them with the required password or recovery method. Vault files and encryption keys remain separate from ordinary Drive files. QUICK SAVE AND MY DRIVE Use Share → PulseDrive from another app to queue a file, then unlock Vault to encrypt the waiting import. My Drive provides ordinary on-device folders, search, sorting, favorites, file previews, and sending or saving a copy. Imports copy selected originals rather than deleting them. REVIEW BEFORE REMOVING Safe Delete checks file presence and size for its initial list, then reads selected backups again, including stored checksums, before asking Photos to remove anything. Favorites and recent items are protected by default. Nothing is deleted automatically; Photos controls final confirmation and Recently Deleted retention. OPTIONAL WEEKLY ENCOURAGEMENT Explore 110 Scripture references and original reflections in ten themes. Optional weekly reminders start off and let you choose a day and time. NIV passage reading opens an external Bible source; original encouragement is clearly distinguished from Bible quotations. YOUR CHOICES No PulseDrive account or subscription is required. Optional first-party usage analytics start off, with editable privacy choices in Settings and separate returning-use permission. Analytics exclude file contents, filenames, credentials, messages, and precise locations. Use light or dark appearance and layouts that adapt to iPhone and iPad. A destination you select in iCloud Drive or another cloud-backed provider may sync through that provider. Originals stored only in iCloud Photos may need to download before copying. Keep independent backups of important files.
