iFileSync app icon

Your Android files.
Safely in iCloud Drive.

iFileSync backs up your phone to your own iCloud Drive automatically, in the background. Pick a folder, turn it on, and stop thinking about it.

Your files go straight to your account — never through our servers.

Two ways to do it the hard way

Both games are your phone's backup problem in miniature. Play either one and you'll see why you'd rather the app did it.

Cloud Catch

Catch the files before they hit the floor.

Cloud Catch

Move the cloud to catch falling files. Skip duplicates, grab the Wi-Fi, dodge mobile data. Miss three and it's over.

File — catch Duplicate — −2 Wi-Fi — turbo Data — avoid

Sync Run

One file, phone to cloud. Beat the clock.

Sync Run

Steer the file through the maze to the cloud as fast as you can. Clear one and a bigger maze loads.

Your file The cloud — finish Swipe or ↑ ↓ ← →

Click a game first, then use the keys. Every rule in both is a real iFileSync feature — it skips duplicates, waits for Wi-Fi, watches your storage, and finds the route from your phone to your cloud without you steering.

How it works

Three taps, then never again

Watch it work — 90 seconds

Pick a folder on your phone

Camera roll, documents, WhatsApp media — whatever matters. Include subfolders if you want them too.

Choose where it lands

Browse your iCloud Drive folders right in the app and pick the destination.

Turn on auto-sync

iFileSync uploads new and changed files in the background and tells you when it's done.

Features

Built to be forgotten about

🔄

Automatic background sync

Runs on your schedule — hourly, daily, or whatever interval suits you. No need to open the app.

Smart uploads

Only new or changed files go up. No duplicates, no re-uploading your whole library, no wasted data.

📶

Wi-Fi only, if you like

Hold uploads until you're on Wi-Fi so backups never touch your mobile data allowance.

📊

Storage at a glance

See your cloud plan, how much you've used, and what's taking up the space — without leaving the app.

📝

Read your Notes

Browse the notes from your cloud account right on your Android phone. Read-only, always.

🔔

Know it worked

Backup notifications and a full run history, so you're never guessing whether it actually happened.

We never see your files

There is no iFileSync server in the middle. Your phone talks to your cloud account directly — which means there's nothing of yours for us to lose.

  • Direct transfer. Files move from your device to your own account. They never touch our infrastructure.
  • Your password is never stored. It's verified with your cloud provider and never kept by us.
  • Sessions stay on your device, encrypted by Android's secure keystore. Sign out and it's gone.
  • No file names, no paths, no contents in our analytics. Ever.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does this work with iCloud Drive?

Yes. iFileSync signs in to your existing cloud account and uploads into whichever iCloud Drive folder you choose. You need an account with the provider — iFileSync is an independent app that works with it, not a product of Apple Inc.

Do my files pass through your servers?

No. Your phone uploads directly to your own cloud account. There is no intermediate server, no copy of your files on our side, and no bucket of your data anywhere. That's a deliberate design decision, not just a policy.

What about two-factor authentication?

Fully supported. When your provider asks for a verification code, iFileSync sends it to your trusted phone number by SMS and you enter it in the app. After that, an encrypted session is kept on your device so you stay signed in.

Will it re-upload the same files over and over?

No. iFileSync keeps track of what it has already uploaded and only sends files that are new or have actually changed since last time. That's the "smart uploads" feature — and it's why the duplicates in Cloud Catch cost you points.

Will it drain my battery or eat my data?

It's built to be light. Backups run on an interval you choose, only upload what's changed, and can be restricted to Wi-Fi so mobile data is never touched.

How much does it cost?

iFileSync is a subscription, billed through Google Play — manage or cancel any time in your Play account. Reading your cloud storage and notes is free; automatic backup is the paid part.

Can I sync more than one folder?

Right now you pick one folder on your phone, with the option to include everything inside it. Multiple independent source folders are on the roadmap.

Does deleting a file on my phone delete it in the cloud?

No. Sync is one-way and additive — iFileSync only ever adds and updates. Deleting something locally leaves your cloud copy safely in place, which is usually what you want from a backup.

Stop catching files by hand

Set it up once. iFileSync handles the rest, quietly, forever.
