Foldic

Foldic backs up your iPhone photo albums to a USB drive plugged straight into your phone — no iCloud subscription, no computer, no cloud.

REAL FILES, REAL FOLDERS

Every album becomes a plain folder of original photos and videos on your drive. No proprietary library — files you can browse anywhere and keep forever.

MADE FOR USB-C DRIVES

Plug a USB-C drive or SSD into your iPhone, pick a folder, tap Sync All. That's the whole setup.

INCREMENTAL AND RESUMABLE

Foldic skips what's already on the drive, so after the first backup every sync takes moments. Unplug anytime — the next sync picks up exactly where it stopped.

YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY

Back up albums individually, or mirror All Photos organized into year/month folders. Live Photos export both the still and the paired video, and capture dates are preserved.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Runs entirely on your iPhone, sandboxed. No account, no analytics — your photos go from your phone to your drive, nowhere else.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Works with drives readable in the Files app (exFAT, FAT32, APFS)

• iPhone with USB-C connects directly; Lightning iPhones need a powered adapter

• If photos leave an album, their exported copies are flagged, and nothing is deleted unless you turn on automatic cleanup

• Also available on Mac: one purchase covers both (Mac version adds Flickr backup)
