LocalCloud: Photo Storage P2P

LocalCloud is private photo backup with no cloud: photo transfer from iPhone to Android, phone to PC — synced directly, no server, no account, no subscription.

Your phone is full. Cloud storage wants a monthly fee, forever. Meanwhile your laptop has hundreds of gigabytes sitting empty. LocalCloud turns the devices you already own into one private cloud.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install LocalCloud on two or more devices (Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows)
2. Pair them once by scanning a QR code
3. Your photo backup runs automatically from then on

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your devices talk directly to each other over end-to-end encrypted connections (QUIC with TLS 1.3). Photos sync offline at Wi-Fi speed on your local network; when devices are apart, an encrypted relay keeps them connected without being able to read anything. There is no server to breach and no account to leak.

REAL BACKUP YOU CAN COUNT
The "Safe on N devices" indicator shows exactly how many physical copies each photo has. Lose your phone — everything that reached your PC is still there.

SWITCHING PHONES?
Moving from iPhone to Android or Android to iPhone? Pair the old phone with the new one and your whole camera roll migrates across — no cable, no cloud upload, no per-photo picking.

YOUR PC IS THE STORAGE
Keep an always-on PC or Mac as the house archive (Home Base). Phones back up to it automatically, and everything mirrors into a normal folder you can browse. Your storage is hardware you already own — photo backup with no monthly bill.

MORE THAN PHOTOS
Send PDFs, documents and archives from any app with Share to LocalCloud. Files appear on every device with clear type icons and filters.

SHARE ONE FOLDER, KEEP THE REST
Share an album with family and they receive that folder only. Your library stays yours.

NO LOCK-IN
Files stay in normal folders and normal formats. Stop using LocalCloud any time and you lose nothing.

An open alternative to cloud photo services your photos, your hardware, your private cloud.
