# Snapgate: selective backup > Choose which photos and videos back up and stop running out of cloud storage.

Photo backup has only two states: it uploads your entire camera roll, or none of it. Snapgate puts a gate in between.

HOW IT WORKS

You take a photo or record a video. Seconds later you get a notification with two buttons: Upload or Discard. You decide right there, without opening the app. Whatever you discard stays on your phone and never takes up space in your account.

That is how you choose what backs up to the cloud, one by one, while you still remember why you took it.

REVIEW AT A GLANCE

A burst of near-identical shots? Review them together and open them full screen to keep only the good one. Videos can be played before you decide.

ANY FOLDER

Camera, screenshots, WhatsApp or any folder with photos or videos: you choose which ones Snapgate asks about.

TEMPORARY MODES

"Don't upload anything for eight hours." "Upload everything for four days, I'm travelling." Modes always expire on their own, so you can't leave one running by accident.

AUTOMATIC RULES

Decide by time of day, day of week or folder. Photos taken during work hours don't have to end up in your personal account, and screenshots rarely deserve uploading at all.

COLLECTIONS

Send what you approve straight into a specific album in your library, skipping the camera roll entirely.

STORAGE SAVER

Optional: shrinks photos before uploading so they take less space. Date and location are kept.

FREE UP STORAGE WITHOUT DELETING ANYTHING

Snapgate never deletes photographs. Discard means "don't upload this": the file stays on your phone exactly as before. What you avoid is it taking up cloud storage space, which is the part you pay for.

PRIVACY

There are no servers. Your photos never leave your phone except to your own library, and only when you approve it. The permission granted to the app only lets it ADD photos: it cannot read, change or delete anything you already have.

No ads. No analytics. No subscription: a fourteen-day trial, then pay once.
