How to Backup Photos from Android to Mac OS X Using Image Capture?

Last Updated :

The easiest way to backup photos from android phone to Mac OS X is using one of the image transfer apps that come bundled with OS X. This is simply because Android devices should be picked up by the standard camera apps in OS X as if they were a digital camera, all you’ll need to do is launch an appropriate app and connect the Android device to the Mac with a USB cable.

Here's how you can copy or backup photos from Android to Mac using the Image Capture App:

  1. Connect the Android device to the Mac with a USB cable
  2. Launch “Image Capture”, which is found in the /Applications/ folder
  3. Select the Android phone under the ‘Devices’ list on the left side of Image Capture
  4. Optionally but recommended, select a destination folder for the photos
  5. Click the “Import All” button to backup all photos on the device to the Mac.

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!
