  2. Done. Add backup drives later if you want

Photos and videos

Your memories, backed up by themselves

  2. Tick your photo folders
  3. That is all. It runs by itself

Private by design

Your files, your keys

Wi-Fi mode: fast at home, no internet needed

At home the phone finds your PC and sends everything over your own network, with no mobile data and no internet. Away from home it connects directly over the internet on plans that include it.

  1. Nothing to switch on
  2. It uses Wi-Fi mode whenever you are home

Encryption and a Locked folder

Turn on encryption and the PC stores photos and files scrambled. Put private photos in a Locked folder, and People never scans them.

  1. Open Settings
  2. Switch on encryption
  3. Use the Locked folder for private photos

Fix problems in one tap

If DRL-FileSync ever stops doing its job in the background, one page checks everything and sets it right for you.

  1. Open Settings, then Help and about
  2. Tap Fix permissions
  3. Tap Fix everything

Plugins and connected apps

Add extras as separate small apps. Another app can ask for a private folder on your PC, and only if you say yes.

  1. Open Plugins
  2. Pick one
  3. Approve what it may use

See it on your own phone

It takes a few minutes to set up and costs nothing to try.
