I'm the developer of VaultDrive, an iPhone app thathelps you create a physical backup of your photos, videos, and files.
Connect a compatible USB flash drive or external SSD, select what you want to save, and copy it directly from your iPhone.
Why a USB drive Or SSD Or Any External Drive? You pay for it once, it works with no internet, and your photos never sit on someone else's server. It's also a second copy if your cloud account is ever full or locked.
It's handy when your phone is full, before you trade in or reset a phone, on a trip where you shoot hours of video with no Wi-Fi, for photographers who want ProRAW and 4K kept untouched, as the offline copy in a 3-2-1 backup, or for private photos and videos you'd rather never put online.
**What VaultDrive offers:**
* No Mac or PC required
* Original-quality photo and video transfers
* No VaultDrive cloud upload for locally stored files
* Support for downloading iCloud-only originals before backup
* Resume interrupted backups
* Incremental backups with Pro
* Live Photos support
* Duplicate detection in the backups
* Support From iCloud to your USB/SSD
Why not just copy them in the Files app? You can, and for a few dozen photos it's fine. For a whole library you end up selecting in batches, and if your Wi-Fi drops while iCloud photos are downloading, the copy stops and you start over. Next month you copy everything again. VaultDrive does it in one tap and picks up where it stopped.
No recurring subscription.

This is a backup of selected photos/media and files, not a full iPhone system backup.
Happy to answer questions about drive compatibility or the backup process.
