DeviceCare Photos: smart photo backup

Every photo and video from your family’s phones and computers, backed up automatically to your own private cloud, and easy to find again. Type “beach”, “dog” or “birthday cake” and it finds them. No adverts, and your photos aren’t handed to a big tech company.

Automatic backup

New photos and videos back up on their own from iPhone and Android phones (in the background, on Wi-Fi if you prefer), and from your computer’s Pictures folder.

Smart search

Search by what’s in the picture, like “sunset”, “snow”, “red car” or “cake”, without ever tagging a thing. Search by date, place or camera too.

Faces and people

Photos are grouped by the people in them. Add a name once, then see every photo of Gran, or of the kids growing up, in one tap.

Places and map

See your photos on a map and browse by town or country, so “that holiday in Spain” is easy to find.

Timeline and memories

Scroll back through the years on one timeline, and get “on this day” memories from years gone by.

Albums and favourites

Make albums, mark favourites and archive the clutter. Videos and Live Photos are kept too, at full quality.

Share with family

Shared albums the whole family can add to, partner sharing, and private links for friends who don’t have an account.

Apps for phone and web

Free apps for iPhone and Android, plus a website you can open from any computer to browse, download and share.

Private by design

Your photos live on MB Computers’ own private servers, not with a big US photo company. No adverts, no selling your data, and nobody else looking through your pictures.

DeviceCare Photos is coming soon with DeviceCare Complete. Photos and files share your private cloud storage allowance.

Plus and Complete

Your own private cloud storage

Keep your Desktop and Documents in sync across your computers, with 25 GB of space that’s yours alone. Open your files from any web browser when you’re away from home.

  • Go back to an earlier copy of a file with version history
  • Deleted something by mistake? Bring it back within 30 days
  • See at a glance which computers are up to date

Complete

Full-computer backup and recovery

If a computer fails, is lost or stops starting, we can put it back the way it was. DeviceCare Complete backs up changed files every day and takes a copy of the whole computer every month, keeping the last two.

  • Up to 100 GB of backup space, separate from your 25 GB cloud storage
  • Ask for files back, or a full rebuild, from your dashboard
  • See the date of your last backup and how much space you’re using
