How to Back Up Phone Photos?

PocketCloud supports photo album backup, allowing you to backup phone photos to PocketCloud and free up phone storage after backup.

Note:

  • Photo album backup requires permission to access local photos or files.

Operation Steps:

Method 1: Quick Backup

Go to Home > My Devices, select the phone for backup, tap the backup button, and start the quick backup.

Method 2: Advanced Backup

Go to Home > My Devices, select the phone for backup, tap the phone model to enter the backup settings, adjust the parameters as needed, and then start the backup.

Backup Settings

1. Backup Rules

  • The first backup will scan and back up all selected photos and videos. Subsequent backups are incremental (only new content is backed up).
  • If a file with the same name is encountered during backup, the new file will overwrite the old one.

2. Backup Directory Preference

Android defaults to sorting by phone albums, while iOS defaults to sorting by shooting year and month.

  • By shooting year and month: Based on the photo's shooting date,create and save it to different folders. Example directory: "Backup Location/Year/Month/".
  • By phone albums: Based on the album categories on the photo,create and save to different folders. Example directories: "Backup Location/Screenshots/", "Backup Location/Camera/", etc.
  • Save under one folder: Save all photos in one folder. Example directory: "Backup Location/".

3. Free Up Phone Storage

After backing up photos/videos to PocketCloud, you can safely delete the original files from your phone.

You can check some files or all files to delete.
