If you have an iPhone 15 or later (with USB-C), this is a very specific free app that turns an external SSD into a transfer hub. The Buffalo Photo Backup App is designed to help users easily send photos from their iPhone to a computer or network storage.
Here's steps to send photos from iPhone to computer wirelessly
- Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account or connect to your Buffalo NAS device or compatible server.
- Ensure your iPhone and the Buffalo NAS or server are connected to the same Wi-Fi network for seamless communication.
- Select the folders or albums you want to back up. And choose the destination folder on your Buffalo device or network.
- Typically, you can select photos directly within the app and then tap an upload or backup button.
- The app will then send the selected photos over the network to your Buffalo device or designated storage.
- Once uploaded, you can access the photos on your Buffalo NAS or network share from your computer, ensuring your images are safely stored and backed up.
This process relies on your Buffalo device being properly set up and accessible over your local network if you are going to send photos from iPhone to computer wirelessly. If you encounter specific issues, consulting the Buffalo user manual or support site can provide device-specific guidance.
