Somewhen backs up copies of the photos and videos you choose to your own Google Drive, organised into Year / City, Country folders. It never deletes or changes anything in your photo library, and no photo is ever uploaded twice.
To your own Google Drive, under a Somewhen/ folder, using your own Google credentials. Nothing passes through any server of ours — Somewhen has no backend.
No. Somewhen only ever reads and copies. Your originals in the Photos app are never modified or deleted, and the app never deletes the backed-up files in your Drive.
Somewhen uses Google's drive.file permission, which limits it to the files and folders it creates in your Drive. It cannot see or touch anything else in your Drive.
Sign in with Google, pick the photos and videos you want in the grid, and start the backup. You can pause and resume at any time; an interrupted run continues where it left off without re-uploading.
Yes. Videos back up over Wi-Fi and stream directly to your Drive.
In Settings, Delete Account revokes Somewhen's Google access and erases all on-device data; files already in your Drive are left in place. Sign Out clears the on-device index only.
