DedupeHow to Speed up iCloud Backup Easily?
Last Updated :
iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Drive is used to store all your photos, videos and documents safely. Sometimes your iCloud backup is slow. There are several reasons why iCloud backup is so slow. It is slow because, it uses Wi-Fi network to backup your iPhone or iPad. Network speed and backup size are two main factors which affect the iCloud Backup speed. You can easily increase iCloud Backup speed.
Following are the steps to Increase iCloud Backup Speed:
Clean up your iOS (iPhone or iPad) device: You can clean up your device before backing up photos, videos and documents to iCloud. Delete your photos and videos that you don't need and save space on your iCloud. Because iCloud only offers 5GB of free storage space to all its users. Make sure to have more space on iCloud to keep your photos and videos. It is useful to backup faster and smoother.
Disable Large Files Backup: You can disable those photos, videos and apps which takes up a lot of space.
Turn OFF Useless Backup: Turn Off the backup for non-essential data types. Select those data types only what you need to backup. You can turn off Mail, Contacts, Calenders, Reminders, Notes, Passbook, Keychain, Documents & data while backing up photos and videos.
Delete Unwanted Photos in your Camera Roll: Generally, we click so many photos and videos on our devices and it take more space. You can delete unwanted photos and videos from your Camera Roll and keep those photos which you want to backup to iCloud. If you want all your photos and videos, then you can backup them to Mac or PC from your iPhone.
Use a Reliable Internet Connection: You can use fast and reliable internet connection to backup your photos and videos to iCloud. When you are backing up photos to iCloud, close other working applications using the Internet to increase bandwidth availability on your device. If you have slow Internet speed, then you can contact your ISP. You can also use the Wi-Fi network to backup your photos.

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.
