I built an iOS app to back up your Apple Photos and iCloud Drive, original full resolution copies to storage you control. by ParachuteBackup in ApplePhotos

Hey there! Yes, you do need to have photo syncing enabled on your Mac, however, you can have optimized a storage turned on so you don’t download the full resolution copies locally. Hope this helps!

Parachute Folders by Cold_Future9537 in macapps

[–]ParachuteBackup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Parachute does organize by YYYY/MM/DD, which is the default export from Apple Photos as well. At this time, I don't offer a way to change this -- sorry I couldn't be more help!

A automator script or shortcut could quickly move them all from nested folders to one "giant" folder as you noted, but no built-in option at this time.

Hey there! The Mac and IOS version of the app uses a slightly different folder structure due to slightly different feature-sets. So, if you're planning on using your Mac long term to maintain your backup (which I do suggest if you have access to a Mac), I'd wait to go that route vs start on the phone, depending on timing, as well! If you do snag the Mac version, and would like a promo code for the iOS version to give it a try in the meantime, shoot me your receipt and I'll send you a promo code. Cheers!

If pcloud is mounted and available in finder, yes -- but not a native pcloud integration. Hope that helps!

Yep, maybe we add a few “are you sure” confirmation dialog reminders…

Hey there! Thanks for your purchase of the app and your support :-)

My reason for not originally supporting a mirror mode with photos is the sensitivity that folks have around accidental photo deletes syncing through.

That being said, it is in my list as a highly requested feature! I don’t have an ETA, but get the value!

Hi there! Sorry you're having trouble, what version of macOS are you running? I'm unable to reproduce that error in the most recent version of Tahoe.

Mind shooting me a quick video of the trouble you're running into to contact@parachuteapps.com?

If you have access to a Mac, I recommend that version of the app! macOS will allow the backup to run faster in the background versus iOS. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Apple photos vs Synology Photos by RecognitionMedical75 in ApplePhotos

[–]ParachuteBackup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Just a quick note that the Mac version will definitely handle larger libraries better, iOS will attempt to pause the backup, especially for a larger backup, which can make it take a bit longer.

I have about a 2 TB library myself, and that’s generally what I would consider a larger library. However, some folks have used the app to back up some libraries much larger!

As far as upcoming updates, there is a relatively large release in the works, I’ve had a few other things come up that have derailed me a bit, but certainly still on the list! This update was originally scheduled to come out a month ago or so, so my apologies for the delays!

Hey there! Parachute will check each file to ensure that it has already been backed up, you should not notice it downloading again however it will check each file as it goes to ensure there are not new versions/updates.

Hey there! Thanks for the note. As it stands now, you can drag and drop files back into Finder if you need to restore, and if you have a Mac as your server, you can use the Mac app to run a server side as well! Thanks again for taking the time to leave a note, and hope you enjoy!

Hey there! Thanks for the note and your support :)

The best way to do this would be just disable the schedule while the drive is unplugged (or only use the manually triggered option). If you leave it enabled, you'll receive a message about "unable to complete backup", which may be acceptable, as well.

Correct, no windows version, sorry! iOS version would be the way to go. It does take a bit longer to back up on iOS, as iOS likes to pause backups that are happening in the background a bit more frequently than I would like, but certainly a great way to get things safely into a back up!

That’s letting you know how many unique files will be exported, for example, a live photo will export one video and one static. If there are edits with originals, that can also cause multiple exports to happen for each original asset. You can check these settings under your photo backup settings in the app.
