What PicBackMan is

PicBackMan is desktop software for backing up, downloading, and transferring photos and videos between a computer and online photo or storage accounts. Available for Windows and macOS, it can monitor connected folders and automatically upload new media, including files in subfolders. Uploads can retain folder structure and metadata, and duplicate photos can be skipped. Listed services include Google Photos, Flickr, SmugMug, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, pCloud, and YouTube; its feature list also names Box and Amazon S3 for photo backups, and Amazon S3 for video backups. The software uses your connected storage accounts rather than supplying storage, and says uploaded media is private by default. The free plan allows 500 photos, 10 videos, 500 migrated files, and 500 deduped files per month. The Yearly plan costs $99 a year and the Life Time plan costs $129, paid once; each lists unlimited uploads and downloads and 10x upload speed. Paid plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Support is available by email, help center, and video tutorials; email support is stated as within 12–36 hours at most.
