What is Ulap (Backup client)?

Android app for private media backup to Telegram.

Back up photos and videos from device folders (and optionally from Google Photos) to your own Telegram chat — no separate backend, no subscription tied to Ulap itself.

Features: Folder-based backup: Choose which storage buckets to include; incremental scans keep the local catalog in sync Large files: Streams uploads; files above ~20MB are split into ~19MB Telegram document parts and reassembled for viewing and restore (aligned with Bot API getFile limits) Rate-limit aware: Handles HTTP 429 with backoff; optional multiple bot tokens to spread upload load (round-robin, per-bot cooldowns) Restore: Download backed-up media back to the device Google Photos import: Sign in with Google, grant the Photos Picker scope, select items in Google Photos, and import into the same Telegram backup flow QR setup: Show or scan a QR code on the welcome flow to copy bot/chat setup to another device Privacy options: Optional stripping of GPS EXIF from JPEGs before upload (settings) Private by design: Payload goes between your device and Telegram; see Telegram’s own terms and limits for the chat you use
