CloudPool 1.8.0: a phone that backs itself up

Your phone can now back itself up, on its own, every night.

A phone that backs itself up

• In Migrate & Sync, Sync, switch on Let this phone back itself up. Scan the code with your phone and follow six steps once in the Shortcuts app.
• After that the phone hands its new photos to CloudPool by itself, with nothing to tap. They land in Sync / your phone / Photos, the same folder the phone web app uses, and anything already in your drive is skipped.
• No web page can read a phone's photo library, which is why the web app has to ask you to pick. The Shortcuts app can, with one grant, so this is the way to have it run unattended without an app from the App Store.

It stays on your own network

• The door is shut until you switch it on, answers one random address, accepts only devices on your own network, refuses anything over 5 GB, and closes when you switch it off or quit CloudPool.
• New address rolls it if you ever want to.
• Nothing is sent to a server of ours.

On the phone

• Full sync and Full migrate now open the picker straight away instead of asking twice.

Install this over your current version; from 1.5.0 you can install it from inside CloudPool.
