However, a smartphone can only hold so much data, considering the average storage space in most new smartphones is 128GB. For example, a five-minute high resolution video is close to 2GB. Additionally, mobile games need at least 450MB in your phone, where installing five of your favourite takes up almost 2.5GB.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, high resolution images occupy 6-14MB for the JPEG format, and 25MB for the RAW format. While text messages occupy an average of 100MB for an average user, instant messaging apps occupy a significantly larger space with ever expanding space demands for the shared media. Therefore, even if you spent a little extra on a 256GB smartphone, you\u2019d soon run out of space.<\/p>\n<p>The largest internal storage on a smartphone is 1TB, which is a staggeringly expensive option for most. While other phones offer the same capacity in expandable storage, that option is becoming rare. This article discusses the perfect solution for most people, no matter their budget; cloud backup.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1660218685\/elle-cartier--NPoYf8RGRw-unsplash_uyio0o.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cloud backup to the rescue<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Cloud backup is the right solution for most people, and it is a feature that allows you to send a copy of a file on your smartphone to a secondary location for preservation, and to save space on the phone. You can easily retrieve the file through your phone since there is an internet link between your phone and the secondary storage database.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud backup is essential for various reasons:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Data backup<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before discussing the convenience of cloud backup, consider that you\u2019ll have a copy of all the data on your phone securely stored off-site. You can easily retrieve all your important files if you lose your phone or damage it. This is the perfect solution to the risk of having all your data in one location.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Easy phone switching<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a copy of all your data in the cloud, you can log into your cloud account from a new phone and set it up just like the old one. This simple and fast restoration is convenient and painless, especially if your old phone gets damaged or lost before you can perform a manual backup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Cost-saving<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Investing in large storage capacity smartphones is expensive, especially when compared to the cost of cloud backup. In addition, such phones are still vulnerable to data corruption or loss. Therefore, you\u2019d rather save your money by buying an affordable phone and cloud backup package.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_1 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Google Drive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span><strong>Android <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;gl=US\">Google Drive<\/a>, Free<br \/><strong>iOS<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/google-drive-online-backup\/id507874739\">Google Drive<\/a>, Free<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why install?<\/strong><span>Secure app with easy sharing and diverse file type handling capabilities<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span>Not the speediest file viewer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Google Drive is one of the most versatile cloud backup apps for smartphones. Besides the backup feature, the app offers a complete office suite experience. You can create files on your smartphone or computer, save them to Google Drive, and work remotely using the relevant office apps like Sheets, Slides, Docs, etc. Every detail and attachment is automatically saved. File sharing enables collaboration among teams, further increasing the app\u2019s convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Google Photos integration ensures all your photos and videos are backed up in original resolution. With remote access and file-syncing with a desktop client, everyone from professional media creators to parents who wish to store memories of their children can conveniently do so, even when they lose their smart devices.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Google Drive has excellent administration rights management. While collaborating or sharing files with others, you can assign access privileges, such as the right to view, edit, share, etc. Therefore, your files remain safe in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>IDrive<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_9 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.prosoftnet.android.idriveonline&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;gl=US\">Android<\/a> Free<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/idrive-online-backup\/id427956708\">iOS<\/a> Free<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_10 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_11 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why install?<\/strong><span> Best overall cloud backup app with plenty of features and affordable pricing<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span>No monthly plans<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>IDrive allows you to back up not just your phone, but also your computers. Additionally, you can sync all files on these devices, where alterations are saved in real-time. IDrive also lets you create unique folders and settings for each device, where you can differentiate what backups to include from each device if you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Remote access enables you to continue working on different files; you only need an internet browser. In addition, you can restore from a backup, which makes transferring from an old or damaged phone seamless.<\/p>\n<p>Data security is a critical consideration in IDrive, with all transferred and stored data encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption. You can also assign custom encryption keys for your data, thus ensuring the highest privacy possible. In addition, IDrive servers are some of the most secure, ensuring your physical data is also safe. Furthermore, IDrive utilises the Continuous Data Protection (CDP) protocol that recognises changes in your files and initiates an automatic backup event.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dropbox<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span>Android <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.dropbox.android&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;gl=US\">Dropbox\u00a0<\/a>Free<br \/>iOS <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/dropbox-secure-cloud-storage\/id327630330\">Dropbox<\/a> Free<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why install?<\/strong><span>Excellent sharing and syncing features<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span>Meagre 2GB free storage<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_21 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>As a pioneer in the cloud backup world, Dropbox is a simple backup and file sharing app whose full features require a package purchase.

Installing the smartphone app earns you an extra 1GB, and referring your friends to the company earns you a further 25GB. The paid plans give you access to more features and functionality, such as more collaboration tools and Office 365 integration for remote working.<\/p>\n<p>Sync gives you complete control over your data since it is a zero-knowledge provider. This means that only you hold all encryption keys to your data, with Sync only providing storage and remote access. Therefore, malicious entities who succeed in accessing your data can\u2019t do much with it. The only downside to such strict security measures is that opening files takes a little longer than other cloud backup apps because of real-time encryption and decryption.<\/p>\n<p>Sync also offers file versioning, which is the storage of previous versions of your files. Therefore, the service stores your latest files, such as edited documents, alongside previously unedited ones.
