Summary
Parachute Backup Mobile is a backup app for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. It backs up photos, videos, and documents to storage the user controls, including external drives, NAS, Google Drive, OneDrive, and S3 buckets. It preserves originals in full resolution along with edit data and current versions, supporting Live Photos, RAW images, bursts, and slow motion. Backups can be triggered manually or automated through Shortcuts and schedules. Files are stored in normal, browsable folders that can be restored without the app. According to the provider, transfers go through Apple's Files extensions so credentials never reach the app, and the backup process is read-only.
