About:
PhotoSync Companion is a dedicated utility for transferring photos and videos from your computer to mobile devices and cloud services. It provides a reliable, high-speed alternative to cloud sync services by allowing direct Wi-Fi or USB transfers without uploading to a third-party server. The tool focuses on preserving original quality and metadata while offering flexible destination options like local folders, NAS, and cloud storage.

Key Features:

Direct Wi-Fi and USB transfer between devices
Supports multiple destinations: local folders, NAS, Dropbox, Google Photos
Preserves original photo/video quality and metadata (EXIF)
Automated background sync and folder monitoring

Use Cases:

Backing up photos from a computer to a local NAS or external drive
Transferring large video files from a computer to a mobile device without cloud storage limits

Alternatives:

Apple AirDrop – AirDrop is built-in for Apple devices but lacks automated, folder-based syncing and cross-platform support.
Syncthing – Syncthing is a powerful open-source continuous file synchronization tool, but requires more technical setup and is less focused on photo/video workflows.
