Best for Mobile Photo Backup! QNAP Releases Google Photos Backup Solution Without Capacity Limits
MARS brings you efficient and privacy-first backup experiences
Taipei, Taiwan, November 21, 2022– QNAP® Systems, Inc., has joined the Google Photos partner program and introduced a new mobile photo backup solution for Google Photos – MARS (Multi-Application Recovery Service). MARS provides a simple method for users to back up/migrate photos and videos from Google Photos to QNAP NAS, helping to alleviate user anxiety regarding storage limitations of the Google Photos service. Users can enjoy a reliable, secure and hassle-free photo backup experience without any subscription fees. Backing up Google Photos with MARS is absolutely easy with simple steps, an intuitive UI, and automatic backup schedule that helps free up mobile device storage.
“Running out of mobile phone storage is annoying, and is increasingly common with modern mobile cameras taking higher-resolution photos and videos. Many mobile phone users enjoy Google Photos service as backup option for their photos and videos. However, as the free and unlimited storage service from Google Photos has ended, many users are now seeking a budget-friendly replacement,” said Andy Yu, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “QNAP NAS provides reliable and secure storage with large capacity and productivity benefits. By installing MARS on a QNAP NAS and signing in with your Google account, you can immediately start backing up your Google Photos. It’s just that simple.”
Regular photo backup to free up Google drive space
After first-time backup/migration from Google Photos to QNAP NAS, automatic backups can be set on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule. This helps regularly free up the limited storage space of Google Photos and reduces potential user anxiety over running out of free space while allowing greater flexibility of cloud storage utilization.
Stronger ownership with private cloud
QNAP NAS provides intelligent storage and backup solutions, with great scalability by flexibly connecting economical JBOD units. RAID support can effectively protect against data loss from drive failure. Snapshots, a standard feature of QNAP NAS, effectively protect files against ransomware. Most important of all, users have full control of their data and how it is used.
