No recompression, ever
Your originals are stored byte for byte. Previews are generated separately, so editing, printing and archiving always start from the real file.

What you get
Everything in Photo & Media Vault.
Smart albums
Albums assemble themselves from capture date, place and camera model. Trips, birthdays and shoots show up without you dragging a single thumbnail.
Fast previews
Lightweight proxies load in a blink, even for long videos and large RAW stills. Tap to open the full-resolution original only when you need it.
Video that streams
Scrub through footage in the browser or app without downloading the whole clip first. Handy for reviewing a day of shooting on a hotel connection.
Search by what you remember
Filter by month, location, camera or file type to find the one shot you remember taking somewhere sunny in 2019.
Share an album, not a folder
Send a view-only gallery with a link or password. Guests can browse and download originals if you allow it, with no account required.

Good to know
Questions about Photo & Media Vault.
Do you shrink my photos to save space?
No. Originals are never recompressed or resized. Smaller previews are created alongside them purely so browsing feels quick.
Can I upload a whole memory card at once?
Yes. Drag the card's folder into the app or browser. Uploads are resumable, so a dropped connection simply continues where it stopped.
Can someone download the originals from a shared album?
Only if you allow it. Each gallery link can be set to preview-only or to permit original downloads, with an optional password and expiry.
