DedupeHow to Backup iPhone Photos Automatically without iTunes?
Last Updated :If you fill up your iPhone's storage space with photos and want to keep them safe, then you have two options. Either you can transfer photos from iPhone to Mac or automatically backup photos to Dropbox cloud storage service to save space on your iPhone and keep them safe. Once you save your photos to computer or cloud storage service then you can delete photos from your iPhone. You can transfer photos to Mac by connecting the USB cable which came with your iPhone. You can also backup photos to Dropbox from your iPhone using 'Camera Upload' feature. A 'Camera Upload' feature allows you to automatically backup photos and videos from iPhone to your Dropbox account.
There are Two Ways to Backup iPhone Photos Automatically without iTunes:
A) Transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac:
- Connect your iPhone to your Mac using the USB cable that came with your iPhone.
- Depending on your settings, "iPhoto" will open automatically. If it doesn't open automatically, open it from the Finder.

- Click "Import Photos" button to import all photos Or Click "Import Selected" button to import one or more photos.
- Switch to the "Last Import" tab.

- Click "Copy" to copy all photos which you just imported from your iPhone.
- Go to "Finder".
- Click "Edit" and then click "Paste" option to paste the all imported videos into your Mac.
- This is how you can transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
B) Automatically Backup iPhone Photos to a Cloud Service:
- Go to https://www.dropbox.com/ & sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, then create an account.
- Download "Dropbox App" on your iPhone from the Apple App store & launch it.
- Open "Dropbox" app on your iPhone.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
