Description

Parachute is your backup companion for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. It backs up your memories — photos, videos, and documents — to storage you control, whether that’s an external drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 Buckets, network drives/NAS, external hard drives and more. With Parachute, you get peace of mind and full ownership of your data, free from lock-in.
Your Data, Your Way
• Back up your entire iCloud Photos library (including Shared Albums) and folders from iCloud Drive.
• Preserve originals in full resolution, all adjustment data, and the current edited versions.
• Works with USB drives, NAS/SMB/SFTP mounts, Google Drive, S3 Buckets, OneDrive, external hard drives and more
Key Features
• Backups can be triggered from the main screen to any of your backup destinations
• Automate backups with Shortcuts integration and Schedules
• Privacy-first: transfers handled via Apple’s Files extensions — your credentials never touch our app.
• Supports full-quality media: Live Photos + videos, RAW images, bursts, edits, and slow motion.
Why It Matters
• iCloud sync ≠ backup — deletions, expired storage, or sync errors can mean permanent loss.
• Parachute safeguards your digital life from accidents and disasters.
• Your files are stored in normal folders you can browse and restore from directly — no special tools needed.
One time purchase. No Lock-In.
• One-time purchase unlocks all backup functionality — no recurring fees.
• Your data stays in your storage, not ours.
• No accounts, no telemetry, no background bloat.

Parachute Backup Mobile Reviews

An essential app!

iCloud is a great place to backup your iPad and iPhone photos and files. However, it is (was) the only backup if you only use an iPad and/or an iPhone. Parachute now gives you an additional backup capability. This app allows you to supplement iCloud backups with backups to other cloud storage providers and/or to external drives. In my case I use SD cards and USB thumb drives. Parachute is easy to use and has really good developer support. Highly recommended! Regards, Peter

I wish Dropbox support can be added

Currently the app doesn’t have an option to choose Dropbox as a destination, I hope it can be added in the future.

Great app

Everyone should have a backup of their files. This app makes it easy for people to do just that. No need for complicated command lines or setting up cron jobs. This makes it trivial for anyone! Great app, and awesome dev! Get the Mac version too!

Very useful app

Nice features, good interface.

Good app, minor issues

App isn’t showing photo count or size uploaded. Always states zero even though photos are uploading.

Great App, just needs some tweaks.

App is great, straight forward and easy to use. However, there are a couple of bugs I noticed. 1. The progress bar does not progress when locked or in the dynamic view, the % just stays the same unless you open the app. 2. If i close the app completely, it does not keep the last backup results.

Backup beast

Nice app for performing photos backups. I had used Photosync previously and it was a lot more expensive (monthly subscription). This was a single few dollars and it works and looks great.

Fantastic option for backups

If you are looking for an easy backup solution, this is it. Great design and simple to use.

Good, but…

Overall I think it’s a good app, but right now as someone backing up to usb at least it doesn’t tell me how big the backup will be. So hard to know how large a drive I need to attach

its not working

do not buy this app it doesn’t work at all
