Your Data, Your Way
• Back up your entire iCloud Photos library (including Shared Albums) and folders from iCloud Drive.
• Preserve originals in full resolution, all adjustment data, and the current edited versions.

Conceptually great, but needs some work.
When backing up files there seems to be issues with a few files. When these issues appear the app stops backing up files until the user interacts with the popup asking to skip or retry the file back up. No notification is given when this happens so you don’t know the back up has stalled until you open the all. One big quality of life improvement is to have the option to auto skip these issues and continue with the back up. An accueing list of issues should be accessible so we are able to reconcile the issues on our own time.

Too many limitations and issues
1. Parachute uses four levels of sub-folders (MM-DD-YY date structure) for backed-up photos. 2. Because the Files/Parachute app cannot write to network drives that are exFat formatted, Parachute can’t back up to them. 3. You cannot back up photos and files at same time (without automation). 4. The number of photos, videos and files selected for backup does not update on the Home Screen. 5. You cannot choose/select which photos to back up—the entire Library is backed up (although you can set switches to avoid videos). 6. It takes an inordinate amount of time to back up even a five second video. Worthless In that regard. 7. You can only select folders (not individual files) to back up 8. There is no way to manually clear the History.
