SyncGallery for Android

Back up the photos you choose.

Keep a whole camera roll on your phone while sending only the files you want to a particular destination. Rule buttons make that choice available from the photo preview.

Android phone and tablet. Free download with optional paid plans.

Choose ongoing backup or a one-time send

A selected-file backup rule links the files you mark to a cloud folder. Later edits can update those remote copies according to the rule's settings.

Quick Upload sends a selected file to a saved destination and stops tracking it afterward. Use it when you want to send today's version without setting up ongoing synchronization.

Give each destination a recognizable button

Create the rule, choose its account and remote folder, and pick an icon. Use that button while viewing a photo or with a selection in the gallery.

Saving a selected-file rule does not upload the whole album. Files participate when you mark them. Follow their uploads in Tasks.

Check what removing a mark will do

Selected-file rules can delete the remote copy when you remove a mark; this is enabled in the starting settings. Switch that behavior off if unmarking should leave the cloud copy alone.

Backing up to a folder does not automatically make it public. Sharing that collection is a separate choice controlled by your provider and its permissions.

Questions before you start

Can I send files from another Android app?

Yes. Use Android's Share menu to send files into SyncGallery and choose an available destination.

Will changing a sent photo update its cloud copy?

With an ongoing selected-file rule, it can, according to the settings. With Quick Upload, it will not be tracked after that upload.
