It’s #WorldBackupDay today.
Working on 121Drop over the past year has been a reminder that backups don’t have to be complicated to be useful. Even one simple local copy can make a difference.
Curious what people here use for their backups.
I’ve noticed that most Android backup options either push you to the cloud or assume you’re comfortable managing files yourself.
I’m curious how people here handle photo backups today.
Do you use cloud storage, manual copies, something else, or nothing at all?
I’m exploring whether a simpler, local option is worth building:

@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.
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:

I ran out of storage on my phone earlier this year.
The options were:
– delete photos
– pay for cloud storage
– or figure out my own backup system
I didn’t want another subscription.
That’s why I’m building 121Drop. An Android app to back up photos to an external drive, offline.
If you’ve ever hit that “storage full” moment and didn’t like your options, I’m validating this here:

I don’t mind plugging in a drive once in a while.
I do mind being forced into cloud backups I didn’t ask for.
I’m exploring whether local, offline backups on Android are still something people want.
That’s what I’m testing with 121Drop:
