Free Temporary Cloud Backup
Samsung has recently unveiled a new feature called “Temporary Cloud Backup” for Galaxy users, offering a secure and hassle-free solution for data storage and recovery. With this innovative feature, users can easily store their data in Samsung Cloud using their Samsung Account.
This service is completely free of charge and comes with no storage limitations. However, individual file sizes are limited to 100GB. The process has been simplified to eliminate the need for a PC or external storage, with data transfer only requiring a Wi-Fi connection.
Users can rest assured that their data will be stored on Samsung Cloud for up to 30 days from the initial backup date. As the expiration date approaches, users will receive notifications, making data recovery a breeze. After the 30-day period, the system will automatically delete the stored data.
The Temporary Cloud Backup feature proves to be incredibly useful during device repairs or replacements. Samsung has seamlessly integrated this feature into Maintenance Mode, allowing users to securely back up their personal data, including files within the Secure Folder, for easy recovery after any necessary repairs.
This feature also simplifies device upgrades, as users can confidently back up their data before performing a full reset on their old device. Data restoration can be initiated during the initial device setup or at any time within Maintenance Mode or the Reset function.
With the assurance of two-factor authentication provided by Samsung Account, users can rely on this new feature for secure data backup. The global rollout of Temporary Cloud Backup will begin this fall for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets using One UI 6 or later. The rollout will start with the Galaxy S and Z series in Korea.
Chiyoung Seo, VP & Head of Cloud Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, commented on this development, stating, “Temporary cloud backup provides a reliable and convenient way for users to back up and restore important information. This upgraded switching experience based on Samsung Cloud aims to provide peace of mind to Samsung Galaxy users that precious data will not be lost, thanks to the connected power of Galaxy’s ecosystem.”
