Samsung’s Temporary Cloud Backup provides users with complimentary file storage in the cloud for 30 days. There is a file size restriction of 100 GB each; however, users can store an unlimited number of files through their Samsung device running One UI 6.0 or higher, which is another stipulation.
“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,” said Chiyoung Seo, VP & Head of Cloud Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.
Temporary Cloud Backup would be particularly useful for scenarios where users may fear data loss, such as when getting a smartphone repaired. Samsung has integrated Temporary Cloud Backup into Maintenance Mode, ensuring the secure backup of personal data, including files within the Secure Folder, for recovery after repairs.
Initially, this feature is rolling out to Galaxy S (from Galaxy S21 to Galaxy S23 Ultra) and Z series (from Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 to the latest Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5) models running One UI 6.0 or higher for users in South Korea. Global availability is expected to expand gradually from this fall.
