Parachute Backup – Seamless Backup for iCloud

Finally an app to sync easy to other cloud servers

Super application mais il manque deux fonctions : 1.Ejecter automatiquement le disque apres sauvegarde et 2. Une option miroir pour photos !

Works perfectly!

Very useful app to provide the reassurance of a backup of your iCloud and Photos data. I used it to back the data up to a local NAS. If you have a large photo library, and already have storage optimisation enabled, then first backup will take a while as each item is downloaded (I found iCloud to be the bottleneck here). I like the fact it re-offloads files it downloads. I’ve used a Photos backup app before that downloaded the entire library. MacOS offloaded in due course, but this app handles that immediately.

Good app to have a extra backup from your cloud photos

Simple and easy to set up regular backups. Great addition to my MacBook

Its a one time purchase, which I love.

Does an excellent job at exactly what it says it will do - backing up my Photos and iCloud data to my own media for safekeeping. Can take a long time for the initial backup if you have a large library but that’s to be expected. I hope I don’t need it, but it’s good knowing I have a parachute if I do!

This is the solution for iCloud-backup I was searching for.

Putting files into iCloud—or any other cloud—is not backup. Great to have an inexpensive way to backup vital files to my own media without having to download all files onto my Mac and backing those up, which would defeat some of the reasons for cloud storage.

Läuft wie es soll

I confirm what another reviewer said: the scheduled backups don’t follow the schedule, but seem to run when you open the application to change something or to verify backups are happening. I just opened to add another application which saves its files in iCloud Drive, and the “scheduled” weekly backup started running although it’s not the right day. The words in that section said the backup would run again on a day and time which just happen to be 7 days from when I opened the application! This makes me wonder whether scheduled backups run at all unless I open the app; or do they run weekly (if set to weekly) but with the clock restarting whenever you open the app? Very confusing and frightening for users, who won’t know whether to trust this “backup” app to do its job.

Straight forward way to ensure you have a local copy of your iCloud Photos!

I needed an app to provide piece of mind that my iCloud Drive and Photos were in more than one place. It delivers.

TimeMachine sichert mein MacBook regelmäßig im Hintergrund. Und meine Dokumente und Fotos, die in der iCloud abgelegt sind? Darüber war ich immer ein wenig besorgt (was tun, wenn ich einmal keinen Internetzugang habe?). Die Sicherung dieser Daten auf meinen NAS im Heimnetz übernimmt jetzt Parachute. Einmal in Minutenschnelle eingerichtet, läuft die Sicherung auch der iCloud-Daten automatisch im Hintergrund. Die perfekte Ergänzung zu TimeMachine.

Cette application fait ce qu’Apple aurait toujours dû permettre : sauvegarder les données d’iCloud Drive et les photos sur un volume externe. Et elle le fait parfaitement bien, avec ergonomie et simplicité !

Very simple to install and Use. Does what it says it will do - I’ve had occasion clicks where internet connection failed or I inadvertently deleted files - backups of all aspects of computer life is a must Incrementals are fast, fast, fast!

I really like the app - it does what it says, simply and quietly. It gives some peace of mind and saves enormously on iCloud storage. However, it stores the photos in separate daily folders. I could handle folders by month. Even weekly would be better. But daily is simply

Einfach und übersichtlich aufgebaut. Genau was ich gesucht habe. Hatte am Anfang ein kleines Problem welches rasch gefixt wurde. Der Support ist vorbildlich.

I backed up 100Gb of photos in just a few clicks

Just what it shall do, love it

Gibt mir ein gutes Gefühl meine Fotos aus der Applecloud noch mal privat gesichert zu haben

For photos worked exactly as I hoped/expected. For the iCloud Drive, it works also, I had hoped for more options but I really purchased it for photo backups anyway.

The sense of security and accomplishment to store all pictures from the last 15 years on my own server. I’ve always contemplated on how to do this, fortuitously I was made aware of Parachute.

I’ve been needing something like this for a while. Works as design. So for no bugs

Efficace, discret il fait vraiment très efficace ! Peut-être un jour sera-t-il traduit en français... Bravo !

Very convenient and reliable.

As a brand new user to this app and having used so many apps over the years for backing up important data I can say that this is superb. Elegant interface and quick to run and backup. For the price it’s certainly one worth trying. Bravo guys. Great job.

I wish it could somehow work with BackBlaze (personal) to back up un-downloaded iCloud files with its file-by-file caching & backup, but it might not be feasible given how BackBlaze isn’t mounted in a normal way

True iCloud backup of my photos and drive has been a nagging todo list item for me for years. Thank you for Parachute Backup! (Whew!)

Works perfectly and is a must have for backups of iCloud data. Massive thanks to the dev, this is great!

A clean and simple way to copy photos and iCloud to an external drive.

Simple and effective iCloud backup - says it all really

Viel gibt es gar nicht zu sagen: Die App funktioniert auf Anhieb. Kein Schnickschnack, alles auf einen Blick. Sehr gut. Hinweis: Wollte erst alles auf meine Timemachine-Disk packen, aber die nimmt ungerne andere Daten auf und es gab einen Fehler. Andere externe Platte gewählt und alles funktioniert.

Cumple lo que promete, una pena que no haga copias de los albums de fotos, va todo por fechas

Installé puis contrôlé les sauvegardes une ou deux fois pour m’assurer que cela marche. Et puis plus rien à faire : parfait. Plus simple ne doit pas exister !

Perfect!!

I’ve used a bunch of backup setups over the years and parachute has helped me simplify my setup. Integrates very well with iCloud and apple photos.

Das sichern der iCloud Daten ist nicht simpel, da die meisten Dateien garnicht geladen sind, sonder nur die Links auf die Daten und daher übliche BackOp Programme und die Links sichern. Parachute sichert die realen Daten, EIne super Lösung.

I've read stories about losing access to iphotos and iCloud due to lost and stolen phones, payment issues, and fraud, so I was glad to see this app. It took me a while to get the settings right, but it works great. The developer is very responsive.

Zuverlässig für iCloud-Dateien, auch Sync einer großen Fotosammlung zur lokalen Verwaltung mit digicam funktioniert ohne Probleme. Danke!

Parachute Backup is exactly what I needed. It does its job reliably, stays out of the way, and just works. If you care about your data and peace of mind, this is the app to get. Absolutely love it!

If you offload files to iCloud from local disk, they don't get picked up in your Time Machine backups, and who knows when Apple's servers decide to break. This lets me back them up separately to my local NAS.

A very easy, simple method to backup all my files and photos! Thanks

This is such perfect fit for the job: back up my photos (and iCloud docs) locally so I have some healthy redundancy in my backups — and peace of mind. I love how simple and well thought out the backup scheduling is. Set it and forget it. Well done!

I love have a little extra security for my iCloud.

Auf der Suche nach einem Backup-Programm für iCloud bin ich letztlich bei Parachute Backup gelandet. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Lösungen werden hier nicht erst sämtliche Daten von iCloud auf das Gerät heruntergeladen (was bei großem Cloud-Speicher aber kleiner Festplatte auch gar nicht funktionieren würde), sondern intelligent immer nur die wirklich neuen Dateien von der Cloud kurz geladen, gesichert und dann wird die lokale Kopie auf dem Laptop direkt wieder gelöscht. Sowohl zeitgesteuertes als auch manuelles Update funktionieren zuverlässig und schnell im Hintergrund. Super Lösung! :-)

I have never had a problem with iCloud, but I always worry about the possibility of losing data that has been uploaded to Cloud with no copy on my Mac (unlike Dropbox). Parachute provides a simple and effective back up of my iCloud data and Photos library to an external drive. I use incremental back up that runs automatically.

und die ideale Ergänzung zu TimeMachine und Carbon Copy Cloner. App ist schnell und zuverlässig.

I use this to backup my photo library to a NAS device (as well as Time Machine), and have to say I’m really happy with the product. Fingers crossed the new owners look after it.

Parachute is very easy to use and does what it’s supposed to do.

I’m using the app to back up my iCloud Drive and Google Drive files (“cloud sync is not a backup!”). Seems to work flawlessly (backing them up hourly to a local folder).

Love this app, simple, easy to use and spot on with its use case and that is backing up iCloud Drive and iCloud photos.

Parachute works flawlessly

I have been using this for several months now and it’s one of the few things that I have setup and don’t have to think about it runs in the background everyday and does what it needs to do.

I like the concept, if only it was a faster.

I was looking for a simple way to safeguard my iCloud images and found Parachute Backup. After installing it I kind of forgot about it. It’s that simple to use. Runs in the background, makes incremental backups of full scale images. Easy as pie.

I bought this when the developer was selling it. Now I’ve read the new owners like to make subscriptions of everything. So although it works great, I’d advise against buying it unless you think you’ll be ok paying a subscription for what you thought was a purchase.

This is exactly what I had been looking for. Works really well and excellent value. Using it to backup 1TB+ of iCloud photos to external storage.

The app works well for the initial full backup, corrupted shared iCloud albums can cause problems. Disabling them helps.

Denna app gör det enkelt att ta full backup eller inkrementell backup av dina photon i iCloud och filer i iCloud. Allt finns inte, men den är mycket enkel och funkar.

I don’t normally write reviews but this simple, reasonably priced tool actually backs up iCloud Photos and files. It makes using iCloud Drive as a primary tool now something I can consider, as it enables offline backup on my NAS. Great product.

This little well designed app just does what it says, which is HUGE. You can now back your iCloud Photos up to an external NAS for peace of mind. If you, like me, do not have enough space on the SSD of your Mac for all the pictures you took but happen to have a NAS then this app is just plain perfect. Well designed, it allows you to back your memories up somewhere other than “iCloud only”. The interface is intuitive and easy to understand, and the progress is visibile and can be monitored. Suggestion for future releases: - localization (languages) - better explain what happens if the Mac “goes to sleep” or the MacBook Pro gets disconnected and brought elsewhere where the NAS is unavailable, either in the middle of the backup (does it resume?) or inbetween backups. As for the rest? A great great app. Worth every penny. BTW also kudos for the “one time only” purchase system. These are rarer and rarer to find and need to be mentioned.

With just a click, it automatically syncs and updates new data from iCloud to my NAS. It really saved my day. My only suggestion is to shorten the cloud path or select the iCloud folder to be synced.

Just what I need to make backups of iCloud documents and Photos. Works reliably all the time.

Great app which does what it says on the tin. One suggested improvement: multiple destinations for backups rather than just the one.

Also ich hab bis jetzt eine selbstgebastelte Lösung für die Sicherung von meinem Mac und den Apple Photos verwendet. Ist natürlich nicht so komfortabel wie Parachute Backup. Und diese Software ist ihr Geld mehr als wert. Da hat der Entwickler wirklich sein Herzblut reingesteckt. Großes Lob an dieser Stelle, und bitte bleib dran!

Highly recommend it & great support, its helping me backup 2TB of iCloud and Photo data

Parachute runs on my Mac Mini server that is always running. I’ve had some problems with a crashed UI in the past, but lately it works fine.

It’s crazy how long I’ve been looking for a solution to locally backup my iCloud Photos. Parachute is so simple to set up and the incremental syncing is fantastic.

I thought about ways to back up my files from iCloud. Unfortunately, iCloud doesn’t provide versioning, and keeping all eggs in one basket doesn’t sound like a good idea. I even considered implementing something similar myself, but this app is exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Smart einfach gestrickt - die Daten aus der iCloud auf Nas speichern

This is the app I’ve been looking for. Allowing backup of all photos raw and edited to a local external drive. Then to writeable bluray’s for cold storage. Gives peace of mind for thousands of family photos. Superb!

Works with Advanced Data Protection on and Access iCloud Data on the Web off.

Entrega exatamente o que promete.

Bought this a couple weeks ago. Seemed to do fine at first. Then the incremental backups seemed to stop but without throwing an error. Now I am testing again with the help of the developer. Hopefully it’s just user error on my part.

This app is an absolute pleasure to use. The only thing I would love for it to do it allow multiple backup destinations. If that could be implemented this would make the app a complete game changer for my backup solutions.

I thought iCloud was a backup but thanks to Parachute I discovered that was not true. One week after I set up Parachute, I was cleaning up files in my Photos and accidentally deleted many photos, I was stunned when I realized what I did. I first checked Time Machine but that did not back up my photos. Then I went to Parachute and was able to go to the exact year, month and day then copy and paste all the photos I deleted. I uploaded them into Photos and they went in and looked like a recent photo but after about 1/2 hour they went back to the original date location. This is a powerful App that can really save your bacon and for such a reasonable one time fee.

A great solution. These options should have been a part of Time Machine from when iCloud was launched. Files can be missed from Time Machine backups if they’re off-loaded to iCloud before Time Machine runs. Parachute Backup solves this simply and elegantly.

Thank you to the dev that made this as its the only app that allows this awful service to be used correctly

Comodo, semplice, pulito, affidabile. Che altro volere di più?

This is a great tool for backing up your iCloud. Moving from another long-time Windows user I found a gap in the ability to backup my iCloud data without using storage space on my MacBook. This app fills the need.

Ich habe lange gesucht und jetzt endlich gefunden, was ich brauche. Im Internet gibt es so einige Programme, mit denen man seine iCloud Daten sichern kann. Allerdings sind diese völlig überteuert für 59,90 € ein Abo im Jahr für die gleichen Funktionen, die dieses sehr preiswerte Programm kann vielen Dank weiter so

Darauf habe ich Jahre gewartet!!

Die App macht genau das, was sie soll. Das unkomplizierte Backup aller iCloud Dateien auf die lokale Festplatte. Mein Cloud-Speicher war ständig voll, aber jetzt kann ich beruhigt alte Fotos und Videos löschen. Die Inhalte werden in einer Ordnerstruktur im Format Jahr -> Monat -> Tag gesichert, also empfiehlt es sich, eine entsprechende Software zu nutzen, um später etwas wiederzufinden.

I love this backup solution. Parachute it’s an elegant program that does one thing really well, which is especially awesome because iCloud backups are typically very hard.

Parachute Backup is a wonderfully simple and effective backup tool. I used to find it incredibly troublesome to back up my iCloud Photos — it either required setting up a separate device to download everything locally, or using command-line tools that weren’t exactly user-friendly. This app completely solves that problem with a clear and intuitive GUI, making it perfect for ordinary users who just want to back up their iCloud data safely, in case of account issues or accidental deletions. The pricing is also very reasonable — it’s a one-time purchase and quite affordable. On top of that, the developer is extremely responsive and helpful. When I had a few questions about some features, they replied promptly and thoughtfully. Overall, a great piece of software that does one thing and does it well.

Just downloaded the app and did my first backup of iCloud data and Photos including other data folders from my Mac. Destination was a Synology with SSD drive. Maybe the easiest back I have ever performed. Simple but has most of the options I would need. Worked without a hitch. For 5 bucks- hard to believe.

So einfach einzurichten. Funktioniert gerade heraus ohne viel Klimbim. Was mir wirklich fehlt: Das „irgendwie“ die Alben, in die ich meine Fotos in die Mediathek seit Jahren einsortiert habe berücksichtigt werden. Z.B. könnten Fotos, die in Alben sind mit diesem Ordnernamen abgelegt werden. Alle anderen nur nach Datum wie bisher. Evt könnte man die Ordenernamen zumindest als „Label“ mit ergänzen. In Linux kenne ich die Link-Funktion. Man könnte vielleicht mit Links auf die hochgeladenen Fotos, die Ordner mit Albumnamen zusätzlich anlegen und Fotos dort drin als Link anzeigen (wenn das geht). Bezüglich Familie .. wäre es hilfreich, wenn man iCloud Bilder und File Download für alle Familienmitglieder von einem Mac aus einrichten könnte. Also für mehrere apple Benutzerkonten (die Familienitglieder) Wir haben einen Mac zu Hause als Fileserver eingerichtet … dieser ist immer an … und der würde sich anbieten für die Backupaufgabe.

Finally found a way to keep a full local backup of my iCloud data while using “Optimize Mac Storage.” I was close to leaving iCloud entirely, but this app solved it perfectly. Flawless execution, stable performance, and honestly underpriced - it could easily justify a $49 tag for the quality.

I just moved my backup workflow from iOS parachute app to macOS in order to utilize better compute, incremental backups and network speeds. One thing I’ve noticed that macOS app created a new “iCloud Photo Backup” directory inside my backup destination share. It would be nice if iOS and macOS apps worked in tandem to keep the backups in the same folder structure so that an incremental backup can be triggered from both platforms. I also assume Parachute does not touch Hidden photos, but a clarification or perhaps a toggle in the app to avoid hidden photos would be nice.

Depuis le temps que je cherchais à backup mon iCloud facilement… Merci pour cet app :)

Perfect app, one time fairly priced purchase that lets me back up my iCloud and Photos to destination targets of my choice. Massive bonus points for also being available through the official App Store, which gives more confidence that this isn’t yet another one of those scam apps out there. Kudos!

Oh hey, that’s what you are looking for. It works incredibly well

Seit Ewigkeiten habe ich gesucht, wie ich meine Unmengen an Fotos aus iCloud sinnvoll raus bekomme. Die Export Funktion von iCloud Photos ist völlig unbrauchbar. Endlich eine tolle Lösung für das uralte Problem mit iCloud Photos. Danke für diese tolle App zu einem fairen Preis. Bin begeistert.

I just copied 30k photos from iCloud to my private NAS. It works great. I have a suggestion for additional features: - the ability to automatically convert images from HEIC to JPG format - the ability to back up images “older than” and automatically delete them from iCloud

The app is well maintained and allows me to back up all iCloud data including shared albums for more peace of mind and control of my data. I have a huge photo library and due to the way iCloud serves files it is a patience game, this has nothing to do with the apps performance.

I've always been uneasy about relying solely on iCloud for my photos and documents. What if it's down? What if something goes wrong? My concerns proved justified when Apple's recent updates made iCloud increasingly buggy and unreliable. So I got a DAS unit for local backups. I didn't want to use Time Machine since it backs up years of accumulated junk along with the good stuff. Enter Parachute Backup – and wow, what a gem! 💎 The UI/UX is incredibly thoughtful and clean. It works like a dream, doing exactly what I want without fuss. My primary goal was backing up family photos from iCloud Photos, but I discovered you can add ANY folder alongside iCloud Drive (!). I keep my git projects in a Projects folder in my home directory (since iCloud sync mangles git repositories), so now all my development work gets backed up automatically too. 🙏 The scheduled nighttime backups are perfect – set it and forget it. The lifetime pricing is very reasonable for this level of functionality. One small wishlist item: an exclude feature would be handy to skip certain folders (like games dumping files into Documents). As an IT professional, I appreciate software that solves real problems elegantly. This does exactly that. Highly recommended for anyone wanting reliable, automated iCloud backups with full control over their data. Thank you for building this!

Lovely design, super intuitive interface and most importantly, it just quietly does its job. Backs up my iCloud Photos and Drive without fuss, runs on schedule, and doesn’t clog my Mac. No telemetry, no hidden fees or subscriptions, just a one‑time purchase. Exactly what I want from a backup app: reliable, unobtrusive, and well made.

I love apps that make life easier, like this one that automates file transfers to your chosen cloud system. It basically handles the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what matters.

The program just works! Authentication took a few seconds and was flawless. Setup took a couple minutes. My initial backup was for 278gb and it just worked. No issues, no stop/restart etc. Backup was super fast onmy 1 gbit fiber connection. Highly recommended!!

Phenomenal, this is exactly what I was looking for. I've been looking to back up all my photos and videos for the past month. I haven't found a good solution since they take up a lot more space than I have available on my Mac and iOS devices.

Can PB backup music apple stores in iCloud?

… what will happen to your favourite cloud provider. I use Parachute to make sure my files and photos are also secured on my backup-disc. And the photos are not in a container. Nice. Still some hickups, sometimes it stalls on files (2 of 500’000) - hope the new update solves that problem. A log with full paths would be nice.

Die Software ist sehr übersichtlich und lässt sich daher intuitiv bedienen. Leider fehlt beim Export die Möglichkeit, Fotos nach Alben aus der Fotomediathek zu exportieren/zu sichern. Was habe ich von 35.000 exportierten Fotos, die in Ordner mit Jahr und Monat abgelegt sind. In meiner Mediathek sind alle Fotos in Alben sortiert, und diese Struktur geht beim Export dann verloren. Somit habe ich zwar die Bilder gesichert, nicht aber die Struktur meiner seit Jahren sortierten Mediathek. Mal als Vergleich für die Entwickler: Die Software „Photo Export Pro“ kann genau das.

I found this app to be very convenient and beautifully designed. Although I am subscribed to iCloud 2TB and often worry about how to make use of the extra unused storage, I believe this app will help guide my next steps. Since iCloud Drive acts as a hub, it makes it easier to distribute backups to other destinations (such as third-party clouds or a NAS). I would also like to kindly suggest a feature addition for your consideration. It would be highly appreciated if you could consider adding an option to save all files into a single folder while renaming them based on date and time. Another valuable feature would be the ability to extract only the photos with specific GPS location tags. Although this can already be done with osxphotos, having such features available in a GUI application would make the workflow much more convenient and user-friendly.

Great app from an indie dev.

I carry years worth of photos on my phone. I trust iCloud, but not with everything. Whenever I get a new phone I copy the old picture into the new phone. I think I started with iPhone 3. I’m on 16 now. After downloading Parachute Backup I was easily able to backup 3,614 (21 gb) photos and videos to an external drive. It took less than 30 minutes. I checked the external drive when I was done and they are all there. This app is amazing.

Great app! The only request I have to make it 5 stars is if it set the timestamp of the photos when it backs them up.

Great App! Would be cool if you add the possibility to exclude specific iCloud folders (‘standard’ and shared once).

I have been looking for the capability of backing up my iCloud Drive files outside of iCloud Drive. I have used some poor and kludgy methods to accomplish what Parachute Backup does well. Very highly recommend this app.

Set and forget app with clean UI. The only thing I wish is ability to backup files that been uploaded to my library in Apple Music.

The app does everything perfectly, as described, and with a minimal app size. Questions to support are answered immediately. Keep up the good work!

Endlich ein Tool, das mich meine iCloud-Daten und vor allem die Bilder sinnvoll sichern lässt. Auch wenn der Photos-Download 2 Tage gedauert hat. Was noch ein tolles Feature wäre, wenn das File-Datum der Datei nach dem Download mit dem Datum in der iCloud/Photos übereinstimmen würde. Aber dennoch gut investiertes Geld.

iCloud ist toll. Und Fotos in der Cloud sind noch toller. Aber ein lokales Backup sollte man auf jeden Fall haben. Und dieses Tool erstellt das supereinfach im Hintergrund. Danke dafür.

I currently have it set up to backup my iCloud docs to a network share and it’s been working great since I set it up.

This is a must buy!

This app allows me to backup everything from my iCloud. I used to faff around with Automator to try and get this to work, but this is well worth the money, to just walk around that problem :) Support is great and dev has a very open ear towards suggestions and wishes :)

This fills a need that I had tried to solve with rsync and some other solutions with varying success. My biggest ask would be to allow the syncing to not take the entire file hierarchy with it, e.g. I’d like to have the directories in iCloud Drive synced in the destination folder directly instead of /Destination/iCloud Drive Backup/Mirror/Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/~com~apple~CloudDocs

Just what I wanted— once I realized that iCloud is for synching, not backup.

Thank you for providing this essential tool.

This is a great backup utility that’s easy to use and “just works” the way it should. Highly recommended!

Does what it says. Peace of mind knowing you are in control of your data and photos. Thanks Parachute Backup!

I’ve looked for an app like this for a long long time. Just tested it and it works fabulously.

Enkel måde at lave backup af samtlige billeder fra iCloud

Ich habe lange nach genau so einer Lösung gesucht – und endlich gefunden! Diese App ermöglicht es mir, meine komplette iCloud zuverlässig zu sichern und das zu einem sagenhaft günstigen Preis 💸. Besonders beeindruckend sind die Funktionen für inkrementelle Backups und zeitgesteuerte Sicherungen ⏱️🛡️. Man kann sogar wählen, ob man nur Fotos 📷 oder alle iCloud-Daten sichern möchte – super! Für alle, die viele Bilder oder Dokumente in der iCloud speichern, ist diese App ein absoluter Gamechanger 🔥. Einfach in der Nutzung, leistungsstark im Hintergrund – sie tut genau das, was sie verspricht. Für mich gehört sie in die Kategorie „Must-Have Apps“ 🙌. Großes Lob an die Entwickler!

This is literally a set it and forget it app! It’s so nice to know I have a hard copy as well as iCloud copy for my photos, videos & data. This app makes it super easy to do!

I was looking for this app for years! It’s doing the first back-up and works like a charm.

Parachute Backup is the app I didn’t know I needed.Simple, reliable, and perfectly integrated into macOS. It runs quietly in the background and just gets the job done without any fuss. I use it to back up directly to my SFTPGo server via CloudMounter, and it works flawlessly. It’s been rock-solid and surprisingly powerful for such a clean and minimal interface. What’s even better is that the developer is incredibly responsive and open to feedback, so I’m confident the app will only keep getting better over time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a no-nonsense, native backup solution on macOS!

This app sticks to the KISS method Keep it Super Simple but with flexibility. Setup my iCloud Drive and Photos backup in just a few clicks.

As described, Parachute is a true set-it-and-forget-it backup solution for iCloud files and Photos on macOS. It requires no manual intervention and offers multiple backup modes, including both complete and incremental backups. Reliable, effortless, and flexible.

Ok this app rocks, I kept hitting snags but it was fixed like a minute ago. Awesome awesome awesome app - very easy to use.

The app makes backing up my photos and files super easy and I never have to worry about losing anything. Totally worth it!

Interface is very slick, and it works great, makes backups easy!
