iPhoto is without a doubt the best tool to organize all your photos.
And now with Sync for iPhoto you can synchronize all your photos on multiple computers, external disks, network drives, etc.


Sync for iPhoto is very easy to set up, simply drag the folder in which you want to create a copy of your library and your done.
You can create exact copies of your libraries if you want to access it from another Mac.
Or, you can choose to organize all your photos and videos neatly in folders for easy access from any device.
Pressing the big START button will start the synchronization.

After adding more photos to your iPhoto library, simply run Sync for iPhoto and in a few minutes, the new photos will be copied to where ever you want.
You can also setup scheduled synchronizations weekly or repeatedly every x minutes.



Key features:
▪ Create backups on 14 preconfigured folders.
▪ Organize all your photos and videos in folders for easy access from media players, Windows, PlayStation, XBOX, etc.
▪ Define exactly how to organize your events and albums using tags. (Check the screenshot to see the available tags)

FAQ:
• What exactly does the option "Organize files” do?
If you want to have a copy of all your photos and videos on a NAS drive, to easily browse from any device, then you should definitely try turning this on.
You can define exactly how to organize your events and albums.
There are several tags that you can use to specify the path according to your needs.

• Should I always use the option "Verify on Destination" ?
No. For very large backups it is recommended to switch it OFF, and possibly turn it ON once a month to clean older files.
Also if you want to mix libraries this should be OFF.

• Is it safe to cancel an ongoing synchronization?
Yes. You can cancel at any time. The operation will only terminate after the current file.
You have the option to continue from where you canceled the next time you synchronize. (In this case, Sync for iPhoto will not verify previously copied files, so make sure nothing has changed before continuing)
Quitting the application will immediately stop all processes. This may cause files to be incomplete on the destination folder. All files will be completed on the next synchronization.

• Will the windows close button cancel the synchronization?
No. It is always safe to close the window. The application will only quit if there are no ongoing synchronizations.

Fonctionne parfaitement

L’application permet d’exporter et de sauvegarder toutes les photos et vidéos se trouvant dans une bibliothèque iPhoto ou Photos. Elle fonctionne parfaitement et répond à mon besoin, à savoir pouvoir créer une sauvegarde sur mon NAS de toutes mes photos et vidéos. J’ai fait appel au support en basculant de iPhoto à Photos car j’obtenais un message derreur, ce dernier a été très réactif et une mise à jour tenant compte de la structure de ma librairie Photos est sortie en moins de 3 jours sur le store Apple. Je conseille!

Chapeau !

Alors là Chapeau ! c’est exactement ce que j’avais demandé au développeur pour améliorer son logiciel !! merci beaucoup !! c’est carrément pratique !! juste encore un petit bug mais tout fonctionne au poil ! merci

fusion des bibliothèques

j’ai voulu fusionner deux bibliothèques iPhoto avec cet outils. bilan: l’outil a effacé le fichier de destination et j’ai perdu toutes les photos qui s’y trouvaient. Heureusement, j’en avais une sauvegarde mais c’est complètement incompréhensible d’avoir une application qui efface tout sans même vous prévenir !

Doesn Synchronize

Doen’s synchronize at all, only copies a full library to a different location, so if you have 2 Libraries, this tool will only create 2 different files in the backup place, and if you select to just copy the pictures out of the library, then the tool will only duplicate all the files…completely unuseful!

Ottima ma funziona con Foto?

Per effettuare il backup della libreria di iPhoto l’ho trovata ottima e la consiglio a chi vuole tenere al sicuro la libreria su un secondo HD. Ora che Apple ha aggiornato l’app che prende il nome di “Foto” funzionerà ancora?

Surprsingly great!

Took a chance — glad I did. Was limping with the old Backup for MobileMe before this — hoping I would never have to try to use it. This is intuitive and easy and does a lot without the bells and whistles. My only wish: a little more feedback that anything is happening (the blue bar stays fixed for a long time wtih no hints…). Nice product and price.

Just what I needed, great software!

I like to go through yearly and drop my iPhoto libraries onto external drives for backup and in the past used an elaborate script to export files from iPhoto into a directory by year, month and file for access by non-Mac machines. Unfortunately that script no longer worked and rather than reworking it I decided to see what was available on the AppStore. To my delight I found this application and figured I’d give it a try. I am very pleased! There are so many ways this application allows you to build out the directory structure and file names that are output when using the ‘organize files’ option. In addition it has multiple ‘slots’ so I can have all my exports going on at the same time since I have multiple iPhoto libraries. If you organize your photos at all this is an excellent tool to add to your tool belt and well worth it.
