Welcome to PhotoShuttle (Chinese name: 影渡; formerly PhotoToDrive) support.
PhotoShuttle backs up iPhone photos and videos to storage you control,
in three ways:
- Drive Backup — USB flash drive or portable disk (no Mac required)
- Air Backup — peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi to PhotoDepot (影仓) on your Mac
- Wired Backup — USB cable to PhotoDepot (影仓) on your Mac
Download PhotoDepot for Mac at
https://www.pengstudio.cc/.
Drive Backup works without PhotoDepot. Air Backup and Wired Backup require it.
1. Contact Support
For technical help, please email:
To help us troubleshoot faster, please include:
- PhotoShuttle version and iOS version
- iPhone model
- Which mode you were using: Drive / Air / Wired
- PhotoDepot version (for Air or Wired)
- A short description of what happened, and screenshots if available
2. Quick Start
Drive Backup (USB drive / portable disk)
- Connect the storage to iPhone and confirm it appears in the Files app.
- Open PhotoShuttle, choose Drive Backup, and complete the setup wizard if prompted.
- Select what to back up, then keep the app open until it finishes.
Air Backup (Wi‑Fi to Mac)
- Install and open PhotoDepot on the Mac. Tap the wireless icon at the bottom left.
- Connect iPhone and Mac to the same Wi‑Fi network.
- On iPhone, open PhotoShuttle, choose Air Backup, and allow Local Network access if asked.
- Select your Mac, enter the pairing code shown on PhotoDepot, then start the transfer.
- Keep PhotoShuttle in the foreground until the transfer finishes.
Wired Backup (cable to Mac)
- Connect iPhone and Mac with a USB data cable (not charge-only).
- On iPhone, tap “Trust This Computer” if prompted.
- Open PhotoDepot on the Mac and tap the cable icon at the bottom left.
- On iPhone, open PhotoShuttle, choose Wired Backup, pair if asked, then start the transfer.
- Keep PhotoShuttle in the foreground until the transfer finishes.
Tip: Transfers can resume and skip items already backed up. Live Photos are supported.
3. Common Issues
Q1: “Selected location is not a removable storage device”
You likely selected On My iPhone or a cloud location.
In Files, go back to Locations and choose your USB drive or portable disk.
Q2: Backup stopped in the middle
Reopen PhotoShuttle and start again. Already backed-up items are skipped.
For Air or Wired, switching to another app may interrupt the transfer; return to PhotoShuttle and reconnect.
Q3: iCloud download warning appears
Some originals are only in iCloud Photos. Keep a stable connection (Wi‑Fi recommended) and enough free space on iPhone.
Q4: External storage not detected
- Reconnect the device and open it in Files first.
- Use a stable cable or adapter.
- Re-run the Drive setup wizard in PhotoShuttle.
Q5: Not enough space
Free space on the destination, reduce the selection, or back up in batches.
Q6: Air Backup cannot find the Mac
- In iPhone Settings → PhotoShuttle, turn on Local Network.
- Confirm iPhone and Mac are on the same Wi‑Fi (guest / client-isolation networks often block discovery).
- Open PhotoDepot and tap the wireless icon so it is waiting to connect.
- Update both PhotoShuttle and PhotoDepot if you see a protocol mismatch.
Q7: Wired Backup does not connect
- Use a USB data cable, not a charge-only cable.
- Tap “Trust This Computer” on iPhone and enter the passcode if asked.
- Open PhotoDepot and tap the cable icon.
- Try another cable or USB port.
Q8: Only some photos appear
iOS may have granted access to Selected Photos only.
Open Settings → PhotoShuttle → Photos and choose All Photos, or add more items.
Q9: In-app purchase / restore
Use the Restore Purchase button and the same Apple ID you bought with.
Purchases are handled by Apple; we cannot look up your payment for you.
4. Minimum Requirements
- iPhone running iOS 14 or later
- Photo Library permission for PhotoShuttle
- Drive Backup: storage that appears in the iOS Files app
- Air Backup: Mac with PhotoDepot, same Wi‑Fi, Local Network permission
- Wired Backup: Mac with PhotoDepot, USB data cable, “Trust This Computer”
5. Best Practices
- For large backups, keep iPhone connected to power.
- Use stable Wi‑Fi when iCloud originals need to be downloaded, and for Air Backup.
- Keep PhotoShuttle in the foreground during Air and Wired transfers.
- Verify backup files before deleting originals from Photos.
Important: Always confirm the backup is complete and readable before removing original media.
