First setup, and your computer isn’t ready? Start here ↑

Scan a code. Give your photos a home.

Join the same home network

Keep Lomorage running on the computer. After a fresh installation, its setup page shows a setup QR code.

Open the scanner inside LomoMobile

First setup: scan the computer’s setup code, confirm the connection, then create an account and choose storage. Account already prepared? Scan your sign-in code instead.

Allow photo access and check your backup

Allow access to the photos you want to back up. Check that a few photos are backed up and open correctly, then explore automatic backup settings.

My phone can’t find my computer. What next?

Use the scanner inside LomoMobile to scan the computer’s setup code. If an account is already prepared, ask for your sign-in code. Scanning fills in the connection address without automatic discovery. If connection still fails, check that both devices are on the same home network and Lomorage is running. See the detailed guide for manual addresses and firewall troubleshooting.

Good questions

A little clarity, before you start.

Explore all FAQs
Do I install it on my phone or my computer?

For the first setup, prepare photo storage on a computer or NAS and install the phone app. If your household already has Lomorage set up and an account ready for you, just install the phone app and scan your sign-in code.

Do I have to do something every day?

Enable automatic backup and choose Wi-Fi-only, charging-only or nighttime backups, plus the folders to include. Your computer or NAS must be on and reachable. Phone systems limit background activity, so keep the app open for a first or large backup and check completion.

Can I delete photos from my phone afterward?

Free Up Space can remove large local files that have already been backed up. Confirm backup is complete and the originals open correctly before clearing space. Keep another independent copy of irreplaceable photos.

What if my computer breaks?

Local storage is not a guarantee against loss. Drives can fail and files can be accidentally deleted. Regularly copy important photos to a separate drive and check that those files open correctly.

Does my computer need to be on to view photos?

To access originals stored on your computer, it must be on and reachable. Offline browsing on your phone depends on what the app has cached; do not assume every original is available offline.
