How do I backup iPhone photos to UGREEN NAS automatically?

You can use the Photos Backup for NAS app to sync iPhone photos to your UGREEN DXP series via the SMB protocol. Simply enable SMB in UGOS, connect the app, and it will handle background synchronization automatically without needing the app to stay open.

Is this app better than the official UGREEN Link app for photos?

Many power users prefer this solution because it offers true background execution, supports full metadata (HEIC, ProRAW, Live Photos), and uses high-speed SMB 3.0. It is a robust alternative if you experience background sync interruptions with native NAS apps.

Does the app support the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 and DXP2800?

Yes! The app is fully compatible with the entire UGREEN NASync DXP Series, including the DXP2800, DXP4800, DXP4800 Plus, DXP6800 Pro, and DXP8800 Plus running UGOS.

Are my photos private when syncing to UGREEN NAS?

Absolutely. Your data is transferred directly from your iPhone to your UGREEN NAS over your local network. There are no middle-man servers, ensuring your private cloud remains truly private.
