Backup or mass transfer to folders by date

Hello MZ,

Thank you for posting your question here with us, I will be happy to assist you.

We have a free desktop app that you can download in joint with our Device app. The desktop app, when transferring from your iPad to PC has a backup feature. This feature allows you to backup your files to your computer. When you launch this feature on the desktop, you are given the option to choose which folder you would like to back your photos and videos too. You can backup all your albums or choose from the list by checking or unchecking.

When your photos are backed up, they are backed up in the order in which they appear on your device, so they should back up in the date order they where taken if they're currently arranged in the order you would like them to appear.

Our app does have a detect duplicate feature but right now it is in an experimental phase and only works with detecting JPG files.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about our app!

Best,

Amber,

Thanks for the reply, but I didn't follow your answer. I think I need to clarify my initial question.

I've been using your desktop app with the backup feature. All my photos and videos copy into a single folder. I'd rather they get copied automatically into subfolders organized by date. Since I imagine your app doesn't allow for that, I'd like to organize them myself. If I do that, will the backup feature try to copy them again? Perhaps your reply indicates that the backup feature always tries to copy all the files, regardless of whether they've been backed up before (a full, never an incremental backup)?

My other recent question that I posted separately is a higher priority, since I can't get a single backup to finish. Please look at that one first, since if that doesn't work then the above question won't matter! Thanks.

Hello,

My apologies for the misunderstanding!

As of right now, there isn't an automated way to use our backup feature. So when you want to backup your photos or albums, then you need to do so manually.

Our app will back up your photos in the order in which they where taken. You can organize your photos after you back them up and then from there, go into the folder where your photos are stored and make sub folders within those folders. So when you run the backup, it won't save over per-exsisting images. So it will skip duplicates. So when you backup again, it should just backup the new photos.

When you attempt to backup, are you getting an error message? If so, what is the error message?

So if I understand correctly, your app keeps a log of photos it has already backed up, so it will avoid making another copy, even if the photo has since been moved (on the PC) to a different location?
