Drive Photos
iPhone · iPad
Your photo library. On your own drive.
Export locally stored photos and videos to an external drive, then browse them in a familiar photo library. Find a memory by the day you took it—or the day you saved it.

The public beta has been submitted to Apple. The download link will appear here when testing opens.
What it does
- One Photos folder with ordinary photo and video files
- Separate Date Taken and Date Added views
- Albums, favorites, search, and manual people tags
- File verification, resumable exports, and available Live Photo components
Before you try it
iPhone or iPad with iOS / iPadOS 26 or later, and a compatible connected drive.
This is an early build. Physical iPhone-to-drive testing is still in progress. Exporting does not delete photos or automatically free space, and Apple’s People labels are not imported.
