Back up your holiday photos to the storage drive at home

Rita shows how her phone beams into her home network from the beach and copies the photos to the storage drive in the living room - step by step, in the real app.

Rita about Awacino

What I like: My phone reaches the storage drive at home from the beach, as if I were in the living room.
Use case: I use Awacino to copy my holiday photos home to my own storage drive while I am still travelling.
What works better than with alternative solutions: No cloud upload and no open port on the router - the photos go directly from my phone to my drive, end-to-end encrypted.

Step by step

Step 1
Download Awacino
Install the app on your phone and on one device at home - a computer, a Raspberry Pi or an old phone. The download page has every platform.
Step 2
Your devices in one list
Sign in with the same account on both. Your phone and the device at home appear under My devices.
Step 3
Beam into your home network
Pick the device at home and choose "Beam this device into the network". The whole home network, every port.
Step 4
Connected - direct and encrypted
Awacino finds the direct path and gives your phone a SituIP, a real address inside your home network.
Step 5
Copy the photos home
Open the storage drive as you would at home and copy the photos. They travel directly between your devices, not through a cloud.
