Questions & answers

What USB drives work with iPhone and iPad?

Any USB-C flash drive or external storage that appears in the iOS Files app. No special hardware needed. Popular brands like SanDisk, Samsung, and Kingston all work perfectly.

Can I backup photos without a computer?

Yes! That's the whole point. USB Backup transfers files directly from your iPhone or iPad to the USB drive. No Mac, no PC, no intermediary needed.

Is this a subscription?

No. USB Backup is a one-time purchase of $3.99. Pay once, use forever. No monthly fees, no yearly renewals. You also get a free 5-day trial with full access before deciding.

Is my data private?

100%. Your photos go directly from your device to your USB drive. No data passes through any server. We don't collect, see, or store anything. The app works entirely offline.

Will it backup the same photos twice?

Never. The app tracks every file it has backed up using a smart manifest. Next time you connect, only new photos and videos are transferred.

What formats are supported?

Everything your iPhone or iPad captures: HEIC, JPEG, PNG, RAW, Live Photos, 4K video, slow-motion, and more. All backed up in original quality.

How are files organized on the USB?

In clean folders: Album / Year / Month. For example: "Camera Roll/2024/06-June/IMG_1234.HEIC". Browse them on any computer, no special software needed.

Do I need internet?

No. USB Backup works completely offline. The only exception is if some photos are stored in iCloud and need to be downloaded first, which happens automatically.
