About PhotoSync
PhotoSync moves photos and videos wirelessly between iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, NAS devices and cloud services. Transfers keep full resolution and metadata, and computer transfers can happen over local Wi-Fi without any cloud.
For computers there are two options: a free PhotoSync Companion tool that handles drag and drop, or web browser access. It suits people who want control over where phone photos are backed up rather than relying on one cloud service.
