No cloud, no internet, no compression. Just plug in a drive, open the app, and your media syncs automatically.

YOUR PHOTOS, FULL QUALITY
Cloud services quietly reduce your photo resolution to save on their storage costs. USB Vault creates byte-for-byte identical copies of your originals — no compression, no resizing, no quality loss.

CHEAPER THAN CLOUD STORAGE
A pair of 4 TB USB drives costs around £200 and gives you mirrored storage you own forever. The equivalent cloud subscription pays for itself in under four months.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE
The app never connects to the internet. Your photos go from your phone to your USB drive over the cable. Nothing else can access them.

KEY FEATURES
• Automatic backup — plug in your drive, open the app, done
• Gallery view — browse photos by month and year with sync-status icons
• Mirror redundancy — link two drives so they keep each other in sync
• Integrity verification — MD5 checksums detect corruption before it becomes a problem
• Free up space — remove synced photos from your phone while keeping them on your drives
• Restore from backup — copy photos back to your phone at any time
• Backup management — rename, verify, close, or remove backups from a single screen

NO LOCK-IN
Your backups are ordinary files on a USB drive. If you stop using the app, the files stay exactly where they are. Browse, copy, and manage them with any file explorer.

WHAT YOU NEED
• An Android phone
• A USB drive (or two for mirroring)
• An OTG adapter or USB-C drive
