Back up the data you choose, to storage you control

SecondDisk focuses on a clear job: moving selected Android photos and contacts to your own email or a connected USB drive.

What you can back up

Two backup types, one straightforward flow

Choose photos or contacts, select the data you want, and choose email or USB as the destination.

Photo backup

Select photos from your Android phone and save a copy to email or USB.

Contact backup

Select contacts and create a backup outside the phone where you can keep it.

Portable contacts

Export contacts in a widely supported format

Select individual contacts or choose them together, then create a VCF backup that can be kept outside the phone and imported when needed.

  • Select the contacts you want to protect
  • Keep a portable VCF copy
  • Import the backup on another compatible device
