device?
If the Connect drive doesn’t connect to your device
or the app can’t detect it, you can connect your
phone or tablet to a computer to copy the files
over so that Picture Keeper can back them up from
the computer. Once your pictures are copied to
your computer, see Desktop Instructions below.
