Parachute is your backup companion for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. It backs up your memories — photos, videos, and documents — to storage you control, whether that’s an external drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 Buckets, network drives/NAS, external hard drives and more. With Parachute, you get peace of mind and full ownership of your data, free from lock-in. Your Data, Your Way • Back up your entire iCloud Photos library (including Shared Albums) and folders from iCloud Drive. • Preserve originals in full resolution, all adjustment data, and the current edited versions. • Works with USB drives, NAS/SMB/SFTP mounts, Google Drive, S3 Buckets, OneDrive, external hard drives and more Key Features • Backups can be triggered from the main screen to any of your backup destinations • Automate backups with Shortcuts integration and Schedules • Privacy-first: transfers handled via Apple’s Files extensions — your credentials never touch our app. • Supports full-quality media: Live Photos + videos, RAW images, bursts, edits, and slow motion. Why It Matters • iCloud sync ≠ backup — deletions, expired storage, or sync errors can mean permanent loss. • Parachute safeguards your digital life from accidents and disasters. • Your files are stored in normal folders you can browse and restore from directly — no special tools needed. One time purchase. No Lock-In. • One-time purchase unlocks all backup functionality — no recurring fees. • Your data stays in your storage, not ours. • No accounts, no telemetry, no background bloat. FAQ Highlights Q: Does Parachute ever delete files from iCloud? A: Never. It’s strictly read-only. Q: Can I restore without Parachute? A: Yes. Backups are just normal folders — copy them back with Finder anytime. Q: What if a file is corrupted in iCloud? A: Parachute flags any unexportable items so you know exactly what couldn’t be saved. Q: Can it back up non-iCloud folders? A: Yes. Add any folder via the iOS/iPadOS file picker By downloading Parachute Backup, you agree to Apple's Terms of Use (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) and our Privacy Policy (https://parachuteapps.com/privacy.txt).}

1. Parachute uses four levels of sub-folders (MM-DD-YY date structure) for backed-up photos. 2. Because the Files/Parachute app cannot write to network drives that are exFat formatted, Parachute can’t back up to them. 3. You cannot back up photos and files at same time (without automation). 4. The number of photos, videos and files selected for backup does not update on the Home Screen. 5. You cannot choose/select which photos to back up—the entire Library is backed up (although you can set switches to avoid videos). 6. It takes an inordinate amount of time to back up even a five second video. Worthless In that regard. 7. You can only select folders (not individual files) to back up 8. There is no way to manually clear the History.

App seems to reliably backup photos off to my network storage well enough. However a few issues: 1. The file names used are unique strings, and not the original filename which makes working with the files more complicated. 2. When backing up iOS ProRAW files the DNG file on windows appears corrupted with no thumbnail, but will open in photo centric apps like Lightroom. 3. In my workflow I import raw files via SD Card to my device for quick editing, when backed up the files are duplicated one file ending .arw and another called .raw.arw For £3.99 it seems ok, but in some ways iOS shortcuts does 90% of the same tasks.

As much as I want to love this app, it constantly errors out on a photo which you have to manually skip and if you’re not around or sleeping, it’ll stop the backup. I wish it would automatically skip errored items or give the option to automatically do this. Because of this, it makes the app useless to me.

Endlich eine einfache Möglichkeit alle Dateien Lokal oder auf einem externen Speicher zu sichern. Das erste Backup hat sehr lange gedauert, lief aber Problemlos durch.

Batte tutti i sistemi per il backup delle foto (idrive, proton, mega….) salva le foto live, le modifiche, le sequenze, i raw, gli album condivisi e fa il backup anche della parte Drive. Infine non solo è possibile scegliere il repository ma anche usare Comandi Rapidi per schedulare le attività di backup. Infine ciliegina sulla torta, le notifiche push impediscono che l’app venga messa in standby durante il backup.

I use it to back up to my NAS. The only thing I miss is faster indexing of files that are already backed up, and the option to set a cutoff date so old files don’t get re-indexed every time.

This app WILL ALLOW you to define a custom endpoint for an S3 bucket to backup to. I didn’t see that mentioned in the description, and it was the most important feature for me. Apple family purchase sharing also works with this app so you only need to buy it once for the whole family. And beyond that it backups up real conveniently just like the description states. It’s not automatic like Google Photos or similar apps, but you can automate it with the shortcuts app which this app walks you through how to do. Really happy I found this and can use the S3 I already pay for instead of having to pay a monthly fee for a bloated cloud tool.

Constantly freezing when running backups. Requires several tries to back up my entire photo library (about 100 GB). Getting random notifications when I’m not even using the app. Needs an option to allow simple mirroring of iCloud Photos (as I don’t always want to back up photos that I’ve deleted from my phone).

I have a large iCloud photo and video library of about 250 gigs and I am backing up to a Ubiquiti UNAS Pro. Unfortunately after a couple of weeks of trying, I ran into several errors and cases where the backup had to start over again. In addition, the app running all the time was causing my phone to become super slow, I had to uninstall it. I did get an initial response from the developer, but haven’t heard back in awhile. I’ll try again in a few months.
