What leaves your phone, and where it goes.
A backup app moves your photos somewhere. This is exactly what the dosya.dev app does with them.
- Originals, unchanged
- Photos and videos upload as the files on your phone, metadata included. Nothing is compressed, resized or stripped on the way.
- Into a workspace you choose
- Each workspace stores its files in the region chosen when it was created, and the Backup tab names the city. You pick which workspace the phone backs up to.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest
- TLS on the way up, AES-256 on the server's storage. This is server-side encryption, the same as the rest of your account, and separate from the Vault's end-to-end encryption.
- Location
- Photos that carry GPS data appear on your workspace's map. Uploads without it are pinned to the coarse location of the connection that sent them, a workspace setting you can turn off.
- Crash reports, nothing else
- The app reports crashes, and a 10% sample of performance traces, to Sentry, tagged with an opaque account id rather than your email or name. There is no analytics or advertising SDK in the app.
A backup engine that respects your phone.
Automatic Photo Backup
New photos and videos back up as you take them while the app is open, and in the background whenever your phone allows it.
Live Engine Dashboard
Upload speed, time left, and per-photo progress on one screen, plus a home-screen widget and lock-screen Live Activity.
Battery Friendly
Incremental scans touch only what's new, and the engine slows down or pauses when your phone runs warm.
Your Theme Everywhere
All eight dosya.dev themes, from the app to the home-screen widget, in light and dark.
Face ID & 2FA
Biometric unlock, two-factor sign-in, and files encrypted at rest on the server (AES-256).
All Your Files
Browse every workspace, preview files, upload from anywhere, and manage your contacts backup too.
Works with Apple CarPlay
Browse the audio files in your workspaces from the car screen, resume where you left off, and start playback with Siri.
Share photos straight from the app.
Any photo you've backed up can be shared in two taps: a link that works for anyone, with you in control of who sees it and for how long.
Instant Share Links
Create a link to any backed-up photo or file and send it through any app. No account needed to view.
Password, Expiry, Revoke
Password-protect links, set expiry dates, and revoke access at any time, right from your phone.
Share with Your Workspace
Photos land in shared workspaces instantly, and everyone on the team sees them on web, desktop, and mobile.

Installing without the Play Store
Most people should install from Google Play, which keeps the app updated for you. If you would rather not use the Play Store, downloading an app from a website is a normal, supported part of Android. Your phone will ask you to confirm it once.
- Tap Download .apk above. Chrome will warn that this file type can harm your device - that warning appears for every APK, from every site. Choose Download anyway.
- Open the file from the download notification, or from Files › Downloads.
- Allow this source once. Android asks permission for the app that is doing the installing (usually Chrome or Files). Turn the switch on, then press Back.
- Tap Install. Play Protect may scan the app first, which is fine to allow.
Verify this download (SHA-256)
dosya-1.0.2.apk edb9576254b5add5fd2f7cc1f17dca6b1d476e83ef9cb16101b3a65308ca3a63 Check it before you install. On a Mac or Linux machine: shasum -a 256 <file>. On Windows: certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256. The output should match the line above exactly.
The app checks for new versions every few hours and shows a notice in Settings when one is ready.
Why is there no direct download for iPhone?
Apple does not allow it. On iOS, apps can only be installed through the App Store, and there is no supported way for us to hand you an app file the way we can on Android. That is a platform rule, not a decision we made.
We are not going to suggest the workarounds, either. Jailbreaking turns off the protections that keep your files and your saved password safe on the device, which is a strange thing to ask of you for a backup app. The iPhone app goes through the App Store.
