Move Degoo Photos & Files to Any Cloud

What is Degoo?

Degoo is the Sweden-based, mobile-first photo backup cloud known for its aggressive free tier — a base of 20 GB free, expandable toward the advertised 100 GB through referral bonuses. Paid plans are among the cheapest per gigabyte in consumer cloud storage: Pro at $2.99/mo for 500 GB and Ultimate at $9.99/mo for 5 TB, plus the heavily promoted lifetime deals (often 10 TB one-time offers via deal sites). The product is built around phone photo backup with an AI 'rediscover your memories' feed, distributed through the Google Play, Apple App Store, Huawei and Samsung stores. The trade-offs are equally distinctive: the free tier caps single files at 256 MB, shows ads, and — most importantly — deletes files after 90 days of account inactivity. Paid plans add a zero-knowledge 'Top Secret' folder and lift the per-file cap (50 GB on Pro recurring; lifetime plans are typically capped at 1 GB per file). There is no official desktop sync client and no bulk export tool — data primarily flows in from your phone, not out.

Getting a large library out of Degoo is the hard part: no desktop client, no official export, and web downloads mean fetching files one batch at a time through the browser. CloudsLinker connects natively to your Degoo account and copies the whole tree server-to-server — so a multi-hundred-GB photo archive moves to Google Drive, OneDrive or pCloud without a single manual download, and free-tier users can get everything to safety long before the 90-day inactivity clock becomes a threat.

Key features of Degoo

20 GB free, 100 GB via referrals

The base free plan is 20 GB; the advertised '100 GB free' is reached through referral bonuses. Free accounts carry ads and a single-datacenter storage policy.

90-day inactivity deletion (free tier)

Files on free accounts are deleted after 90 days without account activity — the single most important Degoo policy to know. Paid plans are exempt.

256 MB file cap on free

Free uploads are capped at 256 MB per file. Pro recurring lifts it to 50 GB; lifetime plans typically sit at 1 GB per file — relevant when moving video into Degoo.

5 TB for $9.99/mo

Ultimate: 5 TB at $9.99/mo, Pro: 500 GB at $2.99/mo — among the lowest per-GB prices in consumer cloud. A candidate destination for cheap second-copy backup.

Zero-knowledge 'Top Secret' folder

Paid plans include a Top Secret folder with zero-knowledge encryption. Its contents are unreadable to any third-party tool, CloudsLinker included — standard folders transfer normally.

Mobile-first, no desktop sync

Degoo ships apps on Google Play, App Store, Huawei and Samsung stores, with a web app at <code>app.degoo.com</code> — but no desktop sync client and no official bulk export.

Why connect Degoo to CloudsLinker

CloudsLinker connects to Degoo with your account email and password — the same credentials as the Degoo app — and then talks to the same API Degoo's own web client uses. After the first login, CloudsLinker reuses a cached session token instead of re-authenticating on every job. Transfers run entirely on CloudsLinker's servers: copy Degoo to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, pCloud, Wasabi or 140+ other clouds, or push an existing cloud into a Degoo Ultimate plan as cheap 5 TB backup space.

What you can do with Degoo on CloudsLinker

Bulk export without a desktop client

Degoo has no official desktop sync or export tool. CloudsLinker copies your full Degoo tree to Google Drive, OneDrive or pCloud server-side — no phone, no browser downloads.

Runs on our servers, not your phone

Degoo libraries are usually built from mobile uploads. Moving them out through a phone or home connection is impractical — CloudsLinker's infrastructure does the transfer at datacenter speed.

Scheduled & incremental sync

Keep a nightly or weekly copy of your Degoo library in a second cloud (or keep Degoo Ultimate as the cheap 5 TB mirror of your primary cloud). Delta mode re-copies only new files.

Filter by folder, type, size

Export only the photo folders, skip videos over your destination's size cap, or move everything older than 12 months to cold storage like Wasabi or Backblaze B2.

Common Degoo transfer scenarios

Rescue a free-tier library before the 90-day clock

Free Degoo accounts lose their files after 90 days of inactivity — a policy that has caught many users who changed phones and stopped opening the app. CloudsLinker copies the entire account to Google Drive or OneDrive in one job, turning an at-risk archive into a safe one without reinstalling anything.

Consolidate phone photos from Degoo into Google Photos ecosystem storage

Years of Android backups often live in Degoo while the rest of your life is on Google. CloudsLinker moves the Degoo photo tree into Google Drive (or straight into a Google Photos upload folder), deduplicating the archive into the ecosystem you actually use daily.

Use Degoo Ultimate as a cheap 5 TB second copy

At $9.99/mo for 5 TB, Degoo Ultimate is one of the cheapest 3-2-1 backup targets available. Schedule a weekly CloudsLinker incremental sync from your primary OneDrive or Dropbox into Degoo — mind the per-file cap on your plan (50 GB on Pro recurring, 1 GB on typical lifetime deals) for large video files.

Move a lifetime-deal account's contents to a full-featured cloud

Bought a 10 TB Degoo lifetime deal and outgrew the 1 GB per-file cap or the mobile-only workflow? CloudsLinker migrates the archive to pCloud, Filen or Wasabi with folder structure intact, and can run the job in stages if the library spans terabytes.

Archive old Degoo uploads to cold object storage

Phone backups accumulate; most of it is never opened again. Filter by date in CloudsLinker and move everything older than a year from Degoo to Backblaze B2 ($6/TB/mo) or Wasabi, keeping only the recent, actively viewed photos in Degoo's app feed.

How to connect Degoo to CloudsLinker

Degoo connects with account credentials — the email and password you use in the Degoo app. There is no OAuth screen and no separate app password.

Before you start

Have your Degoo email and password ready (if you signed up through Google/Facebook on mobile, set a password first in the Degoo app under account settings).
Files inside the zero-knowledge Top Secret folder cannot be read by any third-party tool. Move anything you want migrated out of Top Secret into a standard folder in the Degoo app first.

Connection steps

In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → choose Degoo.
Enter a display name (e.g. “Degoo — phone backups”).
Enter your Degoo account email.
Enter your Degoo password.
Click Confirm — CloudsLinker logs in against Degoo’s API, validates the account, and caches a session token so later jobs skip the login step.

Revoke access

Degoo has no per-app token dashboard, so revocation is credential-based: change your Degoo password (Degoo app → account settings) and every cached CloudsLinker session becomes invalid immediately.

Degoo upload & download limits you should know

Degoo’s limits differ sharply between free, recurring and lifetime plans — the per-file cap in particular decides how a migration should be filtered:

Maximum file size (uploading into Degoo): 256 MB on Free, typically 1 GB on lifetime plans, 50 GB on recurring Pro/Ultimate subscriptions. No equivalent cap applies when copying out.
Inactivity policy: free-tier files are deleted after 90 days without account activity. Paid plans are exempt.
Storage tiers:
- Free: 20 GB base (expandable toward 100 GB via referrals), with ads, single datacenter.
- Pro: 500 GB at $2.99/mo, ad-free, zero-knowledge Top Secret folder.
- Ultimate: 5 TB (5,000 GB) at $9.99/mo, unlimited devices.
- Lifetime deals: periodic one-time offers (commonly 10 TB) via deal platforms, usually with the 1 GB per-file cap.
Encryption: 256-bit AES at rest on all plans; zero-knowledge encryption only in the paid Top Secret folder.
Clients: Android, iOS, Huawei and Samsung store apps; web app at app.degoo.com. No desktop sync client, no official bulk export.
Modification times: Degoo’s API does not accept custom timestamps on upload — files written into Degoo show their upload date.
Deletes: go to the recycle bin, not immediate permanent erasure.
API behavior: Degoo publishes no official third-party API; throttling appears as temporary errors, which CloudsLinker retries with back-off automatically.

Degoo + CloudsLinker — Frequently Asked Questions

Does Degoo really delete files after 90 days?

On the free plan, yes — Degoo's account-limits policy removes files after 90 days without account activity. Opening the app or logging in resets the clock; paid subscribers are exempt. If an old free account is sitting untouched, migrating it out with CloudsLinker is the reliable fix.

How do I get my photos out of Degoo without a computer client?

Degoo offers no desktop sync client and no official bulk export — the web app only downloads files in small batches. CloudsLinker is the practical alternative: connect the account with email + password and copy everything server-to-server to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or any of 140+ clouds.

What credentials does CloudsLinker need for Degoo?

Your Degoo account email and password — the same login as the app. There is no OAuth flow or app-password system. After the first login CloudsLinker caches a session token and reuses it, so subsequent transfers don't re-authenticate. Revoke access at any time by changing your Degoo password.

Can CloudsLinker read the Top Secret folder?

No. Top Secret uses zero-knowledge encryption with keys held on your device, so no third-party service can read its contents. Move files out of Top Secret into a standard folder inside the Degoo app first if they need to be part of a migration.

What's the largest file I can transfer into Degoo?

Depends on your plan: 256 MB per file on Free, around 1 GB on typical lifetime plans, and 50 GB on the recurring Pro/Ultimate subscriptions. CloudsLinker's size filter can exclude files above your plan's cap so the rest of the job completes cleanly. Transfers out of Degoo have no such cap.

Are file modification dates preserved?

Copying out of Degoo, CloudsLinker applies the timestamps Degoo reports to the destination where the destination supports it. Copying into Degoo, the API does not accept a custom modification time, so files show their upload date — a Degoo API limitation, not a CloudsLinker one.

Does deleting files during a move remove them permanently from Degoo?

No — deletions go to Degoo's recycle bin rather than being erased immediately, so a move job leaves a recoverable copy until the bin is cleared. Empty the recycle bin in the Degoo app afterwards if you're freeing quota.

Is the free 100 GB real?

The base free allocation is 20 GB; the '100 GB free' headline is reachable by stacking referral bonuses. Either way the free tier carries ads, the 256 MB file cap and the 90-day inactivity policy — worth knowing before using it as a long-term archive.

How long does a 500 GB Degoo migration take?

Typically hours, not days — transfers run on CloudsLinker's datacenter bandwidth, and photo libraries with many small files are parallelized. Exact time depends on Degoo's API throughput and the destination's rate limits; jobs resume automatically if either side throttles.

Is this an official Degoo partnership?

No. CloudsLinker is a third-party service that connects to Degoo the same way Degoo's own web client does. Your credentials are used only to run the transfers you configure, and changing your Degoo password immediately revokes access.

CloudsLinker closes that gap with a native connector that moves your Degoo photos to any of 140+ clouds server-side. Connect with your email and password and have the first copy running in minutes.
