PhotoSync
PhotoSync transfers and backs up photos and videos among mobile devices, computers, NAS devices, and cloud services. Mobile devices and computers can exchange files over local Wi-Fi; the maker says those transfers stay on the local network rather than going over the Internet. The free PhotoSync Companion supports transfers between iPhone, iPad, or Android devices and Windows PCs or Macs. Linux connections use SFTP, FTP, or SMB, while NAS and personal-cloud transfers can use FTP, SFTP, SMB, or WebDAV. Listed destinations include Synology, QNAP, ownCloud, Nextcloud, Dropbox, Google Photos, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and OneDrive. Autotransfer can back up new media to supported destinations, though iOS triggers are limited to location-based transfer and charging. PhotoSync preserves EXIF, GPS, and IPTC metadata and supports RAW transfers. It can also transfer media directly between iOS and Android over Wi-Fi when both devices have the app and share a network. A free plan covers basic transfers; full-size, RAW, NAS, and cloud features are listed as paid features.
