About PhoneCopy
PhoneCopy is the ultimate way to backup and synchronize your contacts from your iPhone or iPad. PhoneCopy provides free*, unlimited, cross-platform, smartphone and feature phone synchronization, with real time access to data via your web browser. Simply create your PhoneCopy profile, synchronize and you have all of your data safely stored in the Cloud.
PHOTO SYNC
PhoneCopy can also synchronize (backup & restore) your photos and videos to the Cloud and also among your devices. Please take a note about its limitations:
- Only the current (edited) version of the photo is synced to the Cloud so the original is lost upon restore.
- Only a representative of the photo burst is synced to the Cloud so the rest of the burst is lost upon restore.
- Only the photo (image) part of the live photo is synced to the Cloud so the video part is lost upon restore.
- Only some photo and video formats are supported.
CROSS-PLATFORM
PhoneCopy works with iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and any other plaform you can imagine. Regardless of what smartphone, feature phone, tablet or computer you have you will be able to backup, synchronize and transfer your data!
REAL-TIME ACCES VIA WEB BROWSER
PhoneCopy gives you THE BEST SPEED AND RELIABILITY. Contacts are delivered as soon as your synchronization finishes. Unlike regular backup services, you aren't left wondering if your data have been saved. PhoneCopy shows you - through your profile - which of your contacts have been changed or just successfully synchronized. Even when you delete contacts from your phone, they will be moved to the archive, so you can always stay connected to your data.
FREE* AND GLOBAL
You can synchronize anytime from anywhere free* of charge. Wi-Fi or your current data plan is all it takes to synchronize your data.
ALWAYS ONLINE
Unlike PC backup, PhoneCopy is designed for instant access anytime from anywhere. This means that your data is always online and reachable from any PC or phone connected to the internet. Likewise, your contacts are always reachable and you don't have to wonder where you left your phone or backup copies of your data. All PhoneCopy data is stored on reliable servers until you need to access it. You will never lose your data, even if you damage, lose or forget your mobile phone somewhere.
* Free service is intended for personal use with limit of 500 stored contacts and two devices.
