Picture Keeper Pro SSD will use one of two unique modes in order to back up files from your mobile device, which is explained in greater detail here. Typically, Picture Keeper Pro SSD can connect directly to, and back up from your phone or tablet, if it connects via USB-C:
In some rare cases, Picture Keeper Pro SSD may not be detected while connected to your phone. Additionally, for the sake of portability, some users prefer to leave their Picture Keeper Pro SSD at home, finding it easier to back up their files remotely, and then complete the process later. Whatever the reason, with Manual Backup Mode enabled, your phone or tablet will temporarily save any new files to your Picture Keeper account as you run the backup in the mobile app. Then, when you're ready, and within 30 days of completing the backup from your phone or tablet, you'll just need to complete the process using the computer app.
