Backing up your iPhone on macOS is convenient, but problems arise when you want to change the default backup location from iCloud. Unfortunately, macOS doesn’t provide a built-in way to do this.

However, you can use [**FlexiBackup**](https://kahsenglee.gumroad.com/l/FlexiBackup) to achieve this. Simply launch the utility, select a new storage location for your backups, and that’s it.

From now on, whenever you connect your iPhone and initiate a backup, it will be saved in the location specified in **FlexiBackup**. The same applies to restoring backups.

### Pricing

There is no free trial version, and a license costs **$5.99**.
