VaultDrive helps you back up your important photos, videos, albums, files, and documents directly to an external USB drive. No cloud upload required. No monthly cloud storage needed. Just connect a compatible USB drive, choose what you want to save, and create a private offline backup you control. VaultDrive can back up items already available on your iPhone without internet. If some photos or videos are stored only in iCloud, you can choose to download the originals before backup. Wi‑Fi is recommended for large iCloud downloads. Why use VaultDrive? • Back up photos, videos, albums, files, and documents to an external drive • Save selected albums, files, and documents • Back up directly to USB without cloud upload • Optionally download iCloud-only originals before backup • Review your selection before copying • Track backup progress in real time • See copied, skipped, and completed files • Resume safely if a backup is interrupted • Keep an extra copy of important memories VaultDrive is useful when you want to free up phone storage, protect family photos, save travel videos, keep documents offline, or create a personal backup without uploading everything to cloud storage. How it works: 1. Connect a compatible external USB drive 2. Choose photos, videos, albums, files, or documents 3. Review your selection 4. Start backup 5. Keep your files stored on your drive Important: VaultDrive backs up user-selected, accessible photos, videos, files, and documents. It does not create a full iPhone system backup. For large backups, keep the app open for the fastest and most reliable transfer.

Painfully slow and hit or miss, website says free, yet the important features require a pro purchase

**update 7/12/26** with the newest release, I’ve finally been able to complete a backup locally to my x9 pro. Hopefully things continue to improve as the app is updated.**Original review**I’ve only been using this app for a few hours and so far it’s been unsuccessful at completing a backup. Paired my Crucial X9 Pro 2TB SSD and my iPhone 15Pro, currently encrypted backup is not supported but it is in progress. I’ve tried exFat, apfs, and so far neither will successfully finish a backup. Once it begins, it fails photo after photo everytime.

Thank you for the feedback , so sorry about the issue you are facing …. version 3.0 supports only the media that stored on your phone locally, please check if you have enabled the iPhone storage optimization in your iPhone settings , if so Apple stores the original files in iCloud and only preview is available on your phone , so VaultDrive might have skipped those media Today we have released 5.0 version , with new features and stability, now you can choose the download from iCloud first then transfer the media to your external drive automatically, also we have added more informative details on how this works in VaultDrive, The speed of the backup is depends on the read and write speed of the external drive, wifi/cellular speed and iCloud servers response.In next release we are making some changes to encryption backup , soon this feature will be enabled as well Please give it a try the latest version of the App and if you see any issues during backup contact us at sales@coticsy.com

This update improves iCloud-aware backups, backup reliability, and library insights. You can now choose to download iCloud-only originals before backup, with a Wi‑Fi-only option and clearer guidance about how iCloud Photos affects backup time. Backup progress now shows better iCloud download status, handles stalled downloads more reliably, and explains skipped cloud-only items more clearly. Statistics & History now opens faster with cached results, supports explicit rescans, and shows more detailed source/folder-level stats where available. Backup reliability has also been improved with better resume behavior, clearer grouped skip/failure reasons, improved USB drive path display, stronger completion tracking, and better drive reconciliation. Settings and help screens have been simplified, updated FAQ/Terms/How To Use content, and new iCloud education screens.
