Super Sicherungstool
“Hervorragendes und zuverlässig arbeitendes Tool zur Sicherung / Export der kompletten Fotomediathek.”
Better alternative to Parachute
“I discovered this through discussions about Parachute’s acquisition, and I wish I’d known about BackiGo from the start. I have a pCloud account, and the ability to auto-upload to my pCloud storage is huge for me. To top it off, I can encrypt my backups. I love this.”
Essential for safeguarding research data
“As a researcher and lecturer, BackiGo is a lifesaver. I can finally create real, restorable backups of crucial project photos and iCloud Drive documents directly to my external drives and NAS. The peace of mind knowing my field work and academic materials are safely stored outside the cloud, in original quality, is invaluable. It's a simple, private solution for protecting years of work.”
Great for what it is, especially as a non-Mac user
“I have an iPhone (obviously) and a PC. I like backing up my photos and being able to view them on my PC monitor. The windows iCloud app sucks and doesn't sync all the time, and I don't want to pay for iCloud ad infinitum. I wanted a one-time payment way of getting all my photos and videos on my iPhone. I bought the one time $14 lifetime subscription to this app and so far it's worked great. I just went on a long international vacation in November and was able to move everything onto an external SSD, and then move that to my PC. I did have some issues to address: 1) I have an iPhone 14pro. This still uses the lightning port. For all the pictures and videos I had, the transfer time was unfortunately limited to USB 2.0 speeds. This is no fault of the app and did not factor into my review. 2) the transfer would fail and cut out if my iPhone went to sleep or locked, so I had to keep my iPhone awake and unlocked for the entire transfer time (which took about an hour and a half). Your iPhone needs to be plugged in anyway so at the very least it didn't drain my battery. But it was annoying to leave it alone for an hour and then check on it only to see that it stopped 55 minutes ago. But once I switched my phone to never sleep and be unlocked always, it worked. 3) you need a bunch of extra things to do the transfer if you have an iPhone 14 or lower. You need a special Apple lightning to USB-A adapter, then you need an external SSD. There is no way to connect your phone directly to a PC and transfer it that way. 4) this seems to be a limitation to any non apple OS device: Live Photos will always save as two photos. It will be one photo + a gif of the “live” part. This is unfortunately just the reality of dealing with pictures on non apple devices. The fact that the developer has made this app compatible for Live Photos is great though and I highly appreciate it for that aspect. As far as I am aware, there is no other nonnative app that does this.”
Useful and easy to use.
“I wanted to back up my photos/videos to external usb-c drive and to my NAS. This app allows it easily. I hope Apple will allow third party apps. The biggest drawback was hidden purchase button (you can back up first 500 files for free). But the app was absolutely worth the money. Cheers from another Redditor.”
非常好用的iCloud图库备份应用
“目前在大量照片备份场景下的可用性已经提升了很多,我已经基本备份完了将近800G的照片/视频到外接硬盘。这个APP解决了我一直以来备份iCloud照片的问题,非常nice,已充永久会员支持。”
Finally Found the Perfect Backup App for live photo
“Amazing app! It works flawlessly for backing up my live photos. Super easy to use, fast, and totally reliable. I've tried several apps before, but this one is by far the best. Highly recommended!”
Great app
“This app is awesome! Smooth and easy. Thanks!”
Really good
“Hace bien su trabajo”
Very good product
“An excellent product to backup your photos either to your iCloud file system or to any USB drive connected to your iOS (or iPadOS) device without syncing to any of your other devices of your Apple Account. Excellent when you have an iPad for private photos of your work and an iPhone for photos of your family and leisure.”
Very easy to use!!
“Just stuck my HD into my iPhone. Copied everything within a few clicks. Tested a restore after deleting some pics and vids. All worked like normal including the Live photos!! 5 stars!!”
Great app!
“I tried the free version and it worked for me. I read blogs, watch videos but couldn't find a solution to backup to pc without losing Live Photos. This is exactly what I need. I bought the lifetime subscription.”
