We've all experienced losing or breaking our phone whether it was on vacation, at a bar or accidentally drop it in an outhouse like yours truly. As soon as that happens you immediately regret not backing it up sooner.

Luckily, a device exists that allows you to automatically back up every night when you charge your phone. You can get the Qubii Photo Storage Device on Amazon Canada for $67.99. This model doesn't come with a micro SD card but others do and they go for $142.99.

To use the device, you need to download the Qubii app on your phone (iOS version 10 or above is required). Then, all you have to do is plug in your phone and contacts, photos and videos are all backed up onto the SD card. It's a lot easier than having to take out your laptop and connecting to iTunes. Who has time for that, especially when they're traveling?

One shopper left a five-star review saying, "between both phones we backed over 7,000 photos and it took about 64gigs of storage."
