Cheap memory cards from unverified manufacturers flooded store shelves. The only trouble with such drives is their unreliability and short lifespan. How often have you lost photos, videos and other files important to you just because the card just stopped working? To avoid such losses in the future, you can go in two ways: every evening, upload all files from your phone to your computer, or provide everything to your phone and set up cloud sync once.

Yes, I know, you have heard many times about cloud services, clouds, cloud synchronization, but your hands never got around to picking it up and doing it. Which cloud to choose? What is the difference between them? Do I have to pay money for this? Let's figure it out right now.

The cloud is essentially, if you do not go into details, your fail-safe flash drive, to which you are connected via the Internet, to which the important files you specify are automatically saved and to which you have access from any device if it is connected to the network.

Such "online flash drives" differ in the amount of space provided to the user, in ease of use and in a number of additional options. If you are going to use cloud storage simply to store files there from your phone or computer, as well as share them with your friends or colleagues, then the free space that the developers offer you will be enough for you. The only difference here is how much space this or that company offers.

1. Google Drive

Known to all Google service provides every Google user with a 15 gigabyte disk. For many, the application for working with this cloud service is already built into the firmware. Moreover, most of the users with a Google drive preinstalled in the firmware of their smartphone already have backups your photos in the cloud, maybe even those that need to be deleted, until no one has seen - after all, the Google drive unobtrusively selects all photos from the device and puts them in the cloud storage.

In general, if you close your eyes to this wayward behavior of his and take a closer look at the possibilities, then in addition to the backup of photos, the Google drive can work with text files, tables and presentations. However, for this you will need to install additional applications. Also, the disk can play video files without downloading them to the device and, most importantly, since we are talking primarily about photos, the disk offers to store photos in a compressed format, for which unlimited storage space is provided. That is, if you agree to Google Drive to process your photo, reducing the original size, then you can put an unlimited number of photos on your cloud drive for free. All you need to do is connect your Google account to start using the drive.

You can download Google Drive for mobile and PC at download page

2. Dropbox

One of the most popular cloud drives. The service provides "as much" as 2 gigabytes - the smallest amount of free space for today among all cloud services. The creators of the cloud strongly demand money for everything - you will have to pay for almost any additional options, so be aware that even these 2 free gigabytes allocated to you are watered with a generous capitalist tear. In addition to the scanty volume, Dropbox uses a special and only folder for synchronization. The mobile application takes up twice as much space as the application of the same Google Drive, but at the same time it can only synchronize one folder, and even then - after the obligatory installation of another application on your computer. But, nevertheless, the cloud has many fans. A big significant advantage of the service is its interaction with third-party applications. Many readers sync bookmarks of books via Dropbox, password managers are also able to store user files in the Dropbox cloud, and if now the competitive environment in the cloud services market allows you to choose the preferred cloud for syncing in some applications, then old users accustomed to Dropbox are unlikely to will they move to new clouds: habit is strong. And you still have a choice, but if 2 free gigabytes are enough for you and are satisfied with the forced installation of an application for a computer to enable cloud sync, then this cloud is for you.

The Dropbox client can be downloaded for both PC and mobile devices

3. Mega

A cloud known for its increased security through browser-based end-to-end encryption. Because of this very increased protection, you will not be able to reset your password and if you lose it, you will have to say goodbye to your data and create a new account. And this data in a free account of the Mega service can be stored as much as 50 gigabytes. The cloud is distinguished by its high speed, an original way of downloading files using a browser and, as I wrote above, a high degree of protection. Has apps for all popular operating systems, but, interestingly and strangely, it is blocked in Kazakhstan. But only the Mega.nz website is blocked, you can easily synchronize your files using the mobile application, and open the cloud drive on your computer through the Chrome extension. Today it is the simplest, most convenient and large cloud disk provided for free. It does not support video streaming due to file encryption, but it allows you to store many photos and files and also share them with people of your choice.

It is convenient to use on a computer chrome extension or an app for Windows ... There are also applications for Mac and Linux ... And on a smartphone, depending on the system, you can install an application for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry.

4. Yandex.Disk

Screenshot of the Yandex.Disk web interface

The Russian search giant keeps its nose in the wind and does not lag behind trends, because a disk from Yandex is no less convenient service than from the same Google, only it provides a little less space - 10 gigabytes. The mobile application is able to synchronize your camera folder, transferring each new photo to the cloud storage and leaving it there until you delete it yourself. The developers even provided a basket in their cloud service, from which you can install by mistake deleted files... An application for a computer is no longer just a client for synchronizing with a disk, but a whole combine with various functions. One of them is screenshots of Yandex. If you constantly take screenshots of your computer or part of it, then it is worth installing a program for Windows. Also, the application for the computer allows you to view most multimedia and text file formats and has a small built-in graphics editor.

The application can be downloaded for all popular operating systems on the download page of the official website.

5. Cloud Mail.Ru

Another search giant and another cloud storage. If you have a mail.ru account, then you already have your own personal cloud of 25 gigabytes. You can set up auto-upload of photos from the camera folder or enable search and upload to the cloud of all folders from your gallery. Just like other sophisticated modern cloud services, it can play video files from the cloud without downloading to the device.

All application installation files are collected on download page.

6. Copy.com

15 gigabytes. But you can increase the size of the cloud to 25 gigabytes by sending referral links to friends. For every registered friend, you get 5 gigabytes. And, what's great, you and him get these 5 gigabytes. It's bad that it is impossible to register in the cloud from a mobile application - you need to go through the registration procedure on a computer or in a browser. But in the mobile application you can select any folders for synchronization and the files you specify will be saved to the cloud, from where you can not only download them at any time, but also give a link to the photo to any person. As with other services, there is no need to download a video file to your device from the cloud to view it.

The cloud is available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Mac, and Linux. There is also a web interface.

And I would like to separately highlight the cloud drives created specifically for storing photos from mobile devices. They do not have client programs for PC, or there are, but in them you can only get acquainted with the contents and see the remaining space, because their main purpose is precisely the safety of your photos. But such cloud services provide a large amount of storage for files. Among them, I would like to highlight two applications.

1. QuickPic

It was originally a picture viewer app for smartphones, but after the purchase of this app by the Chinese company Cheetah Mobile, which created programs such as Clean Master, Battery Doctor and CM Security, QuickPic Gallery now has the ability to automatically save your photos to the CM cloud, where you can register with your account Google or Facebook. Initially, 2 gigabytes of cloud space are available, but for each invited user Cheetah Mobile is given another 1000 gigabytes. The maximum free cloud storage is 5,000 gigabytes.

You can also get to the cloud from a PC by following this link ... In the cloud web interface, you can view your photos, which for some reason are in the "Clean Master" folder. You cannot add anything to the cloud from a computer. But you can download photos from the cloud by ticking the necessary ones. Convenient, simple and spacious cloud.

Deego has a PC client with which you can save the folders you need from your smartphone to your computer. But this client does not work in the best way, and in order to deal with it, it took a decent amount of man-hours of our editorial staff. However, I would like to believe that in the future the interface will be improved and simplified, but for now, remember the full paths to your photos and carefully monitor where the application saves the files you are recovering. It is possible that such an inconvenient desktop client came out because the Degoo cloud strives to become fully mobile, and the PC app is just a tribute to the old regime, and soon we will see even more services independent of the PC. Applications that work only with mobile devices- the first signs of progress, relentlessly moving us away from stationary computers.

You can download the application only on Android and PC. Degoo doesn't have an iOS app yet.

CM Backup is a cloud backup application created by the developers already known to us, which I wrote about earlier (I advise you to read the article if you have not already done so 🙂).

But back to our program. For copies of your data, CM cloud gives you 5 GB free of charge. For a fee, it is possible to increase the space up to 1 TB, but, in my opinion, this is not so necessary. Let me explain why.

CM Backup is not a cloud in the sense that it is Google Drive or, for example. The five gigabytes that you have there, you can use exclusively for creating a backup on your Android device.

Moreover, you can not backup all the contents of your gadget, but only:

- contacts;

- call log

- SMS messages (I'll write about this in more detail below);

- your photos;

- calendar events;

- your alarms;

- your personal dictionary;

- browser bookmarks.

What I liked was the clear interface, the presence of the Russian language (which Asian developers cannot always boast of, which, however, is understandable - they have more than 🙂 enough for their market), rather fast data transfer speed, the ability to set a backup schedule. In addition, your data is encrypted (AES-256) as it is transferred, downloaded, and stored on Amazon S3 servers. And this is very reliable.

Another interesting feature - you can reduce the size of your photos on the device by 90% after backing up the originals.

And now a few words about what I didn't like. When I moved to another smartphone, I noticed that everything was copied except SMS. To transfer messages, CM Backup offered to install some kind of SMS application. And no options. I had to agree, but after the messages were transferred, again set your favorite by default. As a result, SMS remained intact. The main question - how to transfer contacts to Android, has been resolved after all. And I was especially pleased with the call log, which also migrated to a new device 🙂

I advise you to try the CM Backup cloud and decide for yourself whether to stay on it, or on alternative solutions, which are now offered a lot.

We have already seen plenty of various online storage services. Some are just a network flash drive, others provide some additional functions, such as viewing a slideshow or. However, the creators of the Cloud.cm service decided to surpass everyone and made a whole online OS with blackjack and songs.

Cloud.cm Is an online service that provides you with 5 GB of data storage for free, as well as a wide variety of tools for using them productively. To start working with the service, you need to go through a simple registration procedure. After that, you will be taken to your account, which looks like the Desktop of the operating system.

At the top we see a panel with a row of buttons and a news feed, on the right there are a clock and an exit button. The main part is occupied by the work area with wallpaper, which can be changed in the settings. When you click on the button in the upper left corner, the main menu appears (shown in the screenshot). It reminds me of something, doesn't it?

There are not many applications, but everything you need is available - file manager, media player, office suite, chat, games, settings. Local Explorer allows you to upload files to the clouds and back, create new folders, move files, and so on - in general, everything that a decent file manager should be able to do.

Media Player can not only play music uploaded by you personally, but also the tracks of other users, if they have shared them. At the same time, he independently finds and displays the album cover. A trifle, but nice!

When you try to start Office Suite, a window appears prompting you to select the type and name of the file to create. We can work with DOC, RTF, TXT, PPT and XLS formats. After that, the document is launched for editing in the well-known Zoho Suite. Of course, all changes made in the office editor are automatically saved in Cloud.cm.

What do we still have left there? We will not dwell on the games, let's just say that there are two of them and one of them is Tetris. Local chat is a means of communication only within the service and has no integration with external IM systems. However, this chat is only one of several tools that form the social component of the service. There is also the possibility of creating interest groups, a music and school network and other social opportunities, which, to be honest, I did not fully understand.

In conclusion, it can be noted that Cloud.cm is not only extremely interesting, but also quite usable service. Thanks to its versatility and versatility, everyone can find a worthy use for it. Data storage, listening to music, working with office documents, viewing images and galleries - all this and much more is within the power of this service. In addition, there is a special
