Backup to your own Drive
Photos and videos upload in the background, on Wi-Fi only or while charging if you choose. A file counts as backed up only after its size and checksum are verified.
Android gallery · backup to your own Drive
Your photos, backed up to your own Google Drive.
Gallery is a photo and video gallery for Android. It sends your files straight from your phone to your Google Drive, and can spread them across more than one Gmail account. We never receive your photos.
- Works as a full gallery without an account
- English and Bangla
- Android 8 and later
Your Drive, not ours
Originals go into a Gallery Backup folder in your own Google Drive. The app can only see files it uploaded itself.
Everything on the phone
Upload, duplicate checks, text search and clean-up all run on your phone. Our server never gets a photo, a file name or a folder path.
Still a gallery offline
With no network, or with no account at all, you can still browse, search and organise. Backups wait until you are back online.
Features
What the app does
More than one Gmail
Connect several Google accounts and see their space as one total. Each file goes to the account with the most free space.
Search, including text in photos
Find photos by name, folder, date or type, and by the words inside them, such as a receipt or a note. Text is read on the phone; Bangla script is not recognised yet.
Clean-Up Assistant
Finds exact duplicates, look-alike shots, large videos and old screenshots. Nothing is removed until you have looked at it and confirmed.
Folders, albums, favorites, vault
Choose which folders are backed up. Keep albums and favorites, bring items back from the trash, and put private items in a locked vault.
A proper video player
Playback speed, fit and fill modes, a small floating window, and sound that keeps playing after you leave the app, if you want it to.
Free up phone space
Remove the phone copies of items that are safely in Drive, and download them again from Drive when you need them.
Document scanner
Point the camera at a page; edges are found and straightened, and the result is saved as an image and a PDF. Available on phones that support it.
Tour
The real screens
Screenshots from the app itself, taken with sample pictures and sample accounts.
Get started
Three steps, the first time you open it
- 1
Allow photo access
So the app can show the photos and videos on your phone. You can also give access to selected items only.
- 2
Add a Gmail
Sign in and connect the Google account whose Drive should hold your backup. You can skip this and add it later.

Turn backup on
Nothing is uploaded until you switch it on yourself. Pause it whenever you like.
Privacy
What we store, and what we never see
The app talks to our server only for sign-in, your plan and limits, and a daily count of how much is backed up. Your Google sign-in stays inside Android on your phone.

Free
The app costs nothing to install and use. There is no paid plan today.
- The full gallery, search and clean-up tools
- Backup to your own Google Drive
- More than one Gmail account; the number allowed is set by your plan
Your backup uses the storage of your own Google accounts. If a Drive fills up, the space is Google's to sell, not ours: you can free space, add another account, or buy storage from Google.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Where do my photos go?
Into your own Google Drive, in a folder called Gallery Backup, sorted into Photos, Videos, Screenshots and Documents by year and month. The phone uploads them directly to Google.
Can you see my photos?
No. Photos, file names and folder paths never reach our server. The admin panel shows only accounts, plans and totals.
What can the app see in my Google Drive?
Only the files it uploaded itself and its own hidden settings folder. It cannot read the rest of your Drive.
Do I need an account?
Not to use the gallery. Browsing, search, albums, trash and the vault work without signing in. You need an account and a connected Gmail only for backup.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The gallery keeps working and backups wait. After seven days without reaching the server, backup pauses until the app can connect again.
Is there an iPhone or desktop version?
No. Gallery is an Android app, for Android 8 and later.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings, then Delete account. That removes your account and its records from our server. The files in your own Google Drive stay where they are.
Keep your photos in a place that is yours.
Free on Google Play, for Android 8 and later.
