Where is the link? How can iPhone backup directly to an external hard drive?
>home NAS setups aren't realistic for most users
Citation needed. Get a Synology NAS and use their Photos app which backups Live photos on both iDevices and Androids. Buy it for life.
I wouldn't use it personally, but I could see it being useful for my parents or family.
ifuse and rsync works fine for me.
I would love this if it allowed me to backup all photos taken with the iPhone to an external drive. Currently, Apple dumps all pictures (from the Camera, from iMessage, WhatsApp, etc.) into folder makes it difficult to backup just my pictures.
Thank you for including a non subscription “lifetime” payment option.
I am using PhotoSync to backup photos from iPhone to a self-hosted Photoprism via WebDAV (accessible from everywhere via tailscale).
How is this different from iMazing?

Would immich work for this? You can run it locally in docker container
Will it work with large (huge) photos libraries? Eg. 150k photos/videos - most of them in iCloud. Does it preserve album/folder structure?
Can you add a feature to upload to a ftp server?
Btw, there is also LocalSend. Pretty nifty app
Is this a native IOS app?
How much does it cost?

I just use rsync, works great
I wrote a guide on copying photos from an iPhone onto a Linux host: https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2024/12/22/exporting-photos-fr...
