The record

Purpose: PhotoSync wirelessly transfers and backs up photos and videos between mobile devices, computers, NAS devices, and cloud services.
Local transfers: Transfers between mobile devices and computers can run over local Wi-Fi, and the maker says those transfers stay on the local network without going over the Internet.
Computer transfers: The free PhotoSync Companion supports transfers between iPhone, iPad, or Android devices and Windows PCs or Macs.
Linux support: The site describes Linux access through SFTP, FTP, or SMB connections.
NAS protocols: PhotoSync supports NAS and personal-cloud transfers over FTP, SFTP, SMB, and WebDAV, including services such as Synology, QNAP, ownCloud, and Nextcloud.
Cloud integrations: Listed cloud and photo services include Dropbox, Google Photos, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Flickr, SmugMug, OneDrive, Box, Backblaze, Wasabi, and PhotoPrism.
Background backup: Autotransfer can back up new photos and videos to a computer, NAS, wireless storage device, or supported cloud service; available iOS triggers are limited to location-based transfer and charging.
Encryption: The maker says PhotoSync can encrypt photos and videos before transfer for storage on NAS and file-based cloud services, and marks this feature as iOS-only and Premium.
Metadata and formats: PhotoSync says it preserves EXIF, GPS, and IPTC metadata and supports transfer of RAW photos; optional HEIC-to-JPEG and HEVC-to-H264 conversion is listed for iOS.
Direct device transfer: PhotoSync transfers photos and videos directly between iOS and Android devices over Wi-Fi without a computer or cloud, provided both devices have the app and share the same network.
Camera support: The site lists camera transfer and viewing support for Canon EOS, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Lumix cameras.
Organization support: For organizations and educational institutions, the maker describes managed app configuration through MDM or a settings file, with settings-file configuration marked iOS-only.
