Summary

PhotoSync – Transfer Photos is a mature, cross‑platform solution for wireless photo and video transfer, backup, and sharing across Android devices, computers, NAS, and cloud services. Backed by a decade in the market and native apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac, it emphasizes automatic background transfers and broad device-to-device compatibility.

Pros & Cons

  • Cross‑platform native apps for Android, iOS, Windows & Mac
  • Automatic background backups to multiple targets (computer, NAS, cloud)
  • Broad NAS and cloud service support (SMB, FTP, WebDAV; major providers)
  • Core transfer features available for free with a 7‑day trial
  • Primarily media-focused (photos/videos) with less emphasis on non‑media file types
  • Setup can be complex for NAS/cloud targets, requiring configuration
  • Extensive permissions (location, camera, microphone, storage, accounts) may raise privacy considerations

Comments on PhotoSync – Transfer Photos for Android

★★★★★ Chuck Fontaine · Sep 29, 2026
Love this app. Does exactly what I want: check the contents of the NEW photos' folder on my Android phones at a specific time of day then send them to a backup folder on my NAS. Oh, and notify me on the phone that it did this. Thanks, Helmut! Great app.
★★★★★ Koen Szczepanski · Dec 14, 2025
Just works, come home connect to Wi-Fi and backup photos to nas. Perfect solution for me.
★★★★★ Dániel Tomek · Jun 15, 2026
For the life of me I can't get the service stay running for more than a day. I manually have to restart it all the time to actually sync my photos... probably and android issue edit: based on dev reply it's an android issue
★★★★★ Aron · Sep 17, 2026
I've been using Photosync for years to easily transfer photos over Wi-Fi. This is the best app I've found and has worked seamlessly. Recently, I encountered a minor issue with using the app to delete the photos after the transfer. I reported this to the developer and received a response very quickly. A fix was immediately applied to the beta and was available for testing. I was extremely impressed with the support and highly recommend Photosync with the autotransfer add-on.
★☆☆☆☆ Keith Pearce · Jul 6, 2025
Update: I found the free app Folder Sync that actually works to sync my photos to my home nas smb share. The Free version of this app basically does nothing. Whenever you try to do anything in the app it wants you to sign up for a 7-day free trial. Immediate uninstallation. I recommend using Folder Sync instead.
★☆☆☆☆ Lisa Groves · Jun 19, 2026
Try to transfer photos to my MacBook and told I have no Internet connection when I know for a fact that I do have a connection!!!! Plus no wire to wire transfer option 😕
★☆☆☆☆ Ian Ankers · Mar 23, 2026
I have problems trying to connect to my pc from my android phone. Then it suggests I connect manually, that doesn't work either. After several attempts it does connect! My PC Internet is set to discoverable, so I can't understand what the solution is.
★☆☆☆☆ K Deepak Naik · Mar 21, 2026
Really bad experience. Bought the bundle for Dropbox upload in mind. Not able to transfer files from phone to Dropbox at all. Even after linking the Dropbox
