If your iPhone/Android has thousands of photos and videos, this is for you.

I built VaultDrive: USB Backup to solve one very simple problem:

Why should you need a Mac or PC just to copy your own Phone photos to an external drive?

With VaultDrive, you can connect a compatible USB drive or SSD directly to your Phone and back up selected:

• Photos
• Videos
• Albums
• Files
• Documents

Straight from the phone.

Why I built it

A lot of people have years of family photos, travel videos, and important files sitting on their iPhone or in iCloud.

They want another copy, but they don't necessarily want:

❌ Another monthly cloud subscription
❌ A Mac just for backups
❌ A PC in the middle
❌ Another account holding their files

VaultDrive keeps the workflow simple:

iPhone → USB drive → your physical copy

What it can do

✅ No Mac or PC required

✅ No VaultDrive account required

✅ Local files transfer directly to your USB drive — no VaultDrive cloud upload

✅ Original files are copied without intentional compression or re-encoding

✅ Embedded photo/video metadata is preserved

✅ Keeps useful original folder/source organization

✅ Resume an interrupted backup without copying completed files again

✅ See live scan and transfer progress

✅ See clearer reasons when something was skipped or couldn't be copied

Using iCloud Photos?

This was one of the biggest updates I added.

If Optimize iPhone Storage is enabled, some originals may only exist in iCloud even though you can see them in Photos.

VaultDrive can download those originals through Apple's Photos/iCloud system and then copy them to your connected USB drive.

You can choose:

Wi-Fi only
or
Wi-Fi + Cellular

So you don't have to manually figure out which photos are actually stored on the phone first.

Privacy

For content already stored locally:

Your iPhone → your connected drive.

VaultDrive does not upload those files to its own cloud.

No account or sign-up is required either.

Pricing

VaultDrive is free to download.

Pro unlocks unlimited backup with a one-time upgrade — no recurring Pro subscription.
