I’m not building 121Drop to chase growth or subscriptions.

I’m building it because I don’t like where backups are headed. More accounts, more cloud lock-in, more monthly fees.

121Drop is meant to be simple, local, and boring in the best way.

I’m validating this quietly before writing code. If that approach resonates, you can follow along here:

@121Drop ...so what does it do?

@realestninja The idea is to make backing up photos and videos to an external drive simple. Plug in a USB drive or SSD, tap once, and it handles the copy for you.

@realestninja Yeah, that’s a good comparison.

The idea is similar, but those were built for desktops. I’m trying to bring that same simple, local backup idea to Android phones today.
