Parachute Backup Mobile

I really like the simplicity of this app, and it appears to do what I want (backup to an S3 compatible bucket, including offloaded photos). But something in the sync logic isn’t quite right and each time it runs it tries to re-upload everything, which makes it fairly useless until that’s fixed. So close! 🤞🤞

App seems to reliably backup photos off to my network storage well enough. However a few issues: 1. The file names used are unique strings, and not the original filename which makes working with the files more complicated. 2. When backing up iOS ProRAW files the DNG file on windows appears corrupted with no thumbnail, but will open in photo centric apps like Lightroom. 3. In my workflow I import raw files via SD Card to my device for quick editing, when backed up the files are duplicated one file ending .arw and another called .raw.arw For £3.99 it seems ok, but in some ways iOS shortcuts does 90% of the same tasks.

Great app but seems silly that it does not work in the background? Am I meant to wake up at 2am And start it every day? Just halts when the app is closed even with background activity enabled

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

…you should absolutely download this app. My strategy for backing up my iOS photos and files was haphazard at best. This takes out the guess work. You should pay the Mann (get it?), spend the $4, and download the app.
