Samsung Cloud is the official cloud storage service of Samsung launched on August 2, 2016 together with the Galaxy Note7 phablet and since then it is pre-installed on new Galaxy smartphones, including Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 +, Galaxy Note8, Galaxy A8 (2018). Samsung Cloud, thanks to continuous and automatic backup, makes it easy to transfer content, such as data, apps and settings on the new Galaxy device when you buy it. But how do you set up Samsung Cloud on your smartphone? Following all the details of the service.
Samsung Cloud what it is for and how it works
The photos, data and settings in a smartphone are important, so Samsung has decided to launch its own cloud storage service, an alternative more 'easily accessible to users than third-party services such as Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. Samsung Cloud can be considered as the equivalent of iCloud for Apple customers. Samsung said it had designed its service to be "safe, convenient and uninterrupted" and useful for "accessing, backing up and restoring what you need on all Samsung devices".
Samsung Galaxy users with pre-installed Samsung service gives 15GB of free space on Samsung Cloud to save photos, apps and data. When you need more space, you can purchase additional space directly from the Settings menu on your device.
Samsung Cloud allows users to rest assured that they always keep their personal data safe on a lost, stolen or broken Galaxy device. The backup is uninterrupted, so it's easy to synchronize and restore data on all Galaxy devices associated with the same Samsung Account.
For those who 'chew little' language, save the data 'on the cloud' means that the data (photos, messages, contacts, etc.) are saved not on the phone itself but on external servers, then through an internet connection are uploaded to the servers that manage the service - some data could also be saved locally but with a sort of cloud backup so as not to lose them if, for example, you lose your phone. Another advantage is the ability to access data from any of the supported devices.
Samsung Cloud: Backing up and restoring data and settings
Always have a backup of the data ready to be restored following the formatting of the device or the transfer to a new Samsung Galaxy is useful, and is simple with Samsung Cloud: just remember the username and password of your Samsung account and follow a few, simple steps (read the guide below on how to activate and use Samsung Cloud).
Having everything you need in the cloud also means you have one thing less to worry about when the device stops working or you lose it. From the Home screen layout, from the installed apps to the Alarm settings, Wi-Fi settings and more like messages and contacts. Restoring your data and settings, whether on an existing or new device, is simple.
Photos on multiple devices at any time
Samsung Cloud also allows you to have photos and images always synchronized on multiple devices, as long as they are connected by the same Samsung account.
Clicking a photo on the Samsung smartphone on which Samsung Cloud is configured, is saved both in the gallery and on the cloud. At this point you only need to access the same Samsung account on another device to view the photo, without the need for a separate cloud app. It is therefore possible to access your albums and dag other devices whenever you want after a few seconds from the moment they are taken.
Since the manufacturer has ensured that the range of devices that support Samsung Cloud continues to grow, soon it will be possible to access the same data on multiple devices. It is still not official, but presumably Samsung Cloud could also arrive on Smasung Smart TV.
How can I backup to Samsung
To perform a backup on Samsung Cloud, you must first unlock the device (PIN, unlock with iris, password and \ or sign) and then scroll from bottom to top to access the screen dedicated to all applications of the device. You must then enter "Settings" and select the item "Cloud and Account". Once you have entered the cloud and account page you have to open the first option "Samsung Cloud" to see the memory available on the personal cloud and then the item "Backup Settings" which is the option to click. On this screen you can see all the data that can be submitted to the backup: select the data that interests the most (it is recommended to submit all data to backup) and, after selecting the data you want to save, click on the item below : 'Run Backup Now'.
