How to Use the Features of Samsung Cloud

In this section, I will walk you through the features and benefits of Samsung Cloud. I will also cover steps to perform specific tasks within your Samsung Cloud account.

To take full advantage of this section, sign in to your Samsung Cloud account from your Samsung phone – Settings -> Accounts and backup -> Samsung Cloud.

Synched Apps with Samsung Cloud

Once you have accessed your Samsung Cloud account, you have access to so many benefits!

The first benefit of accessing Samsung Cloud is the ability to sync apps to the Cloud. This feature allows you to sync important data across your Samsung devices.

To see all the apps enabled for sync, tap Synced apps.

Each app in the list has an option to turn sync off. Additionally, if you want to sync immediately, scroll down to the bottom of the app list and tap Sync now.

Moreover, you may remove an app from the Sync app list. To do that, return to the home page by tapping the back button.

When you return to the Samsung Cloud home page, on the top right of the app, tap the menu (3 dots).

Then, from the displayed options, tap Settings.

On the Settings screen, tap Sync and auto backup settings.

The Sync and auto backup settings screen has two tabs. The default is the Sync tab.

In the Sync tab, you can check or uncheck apps you want to sync to Samsung Cloud. This tab also has the option to sync all the apps immediately.

Additionally, you can configure apps on your Samsung phone that you wish to backup. To see a list of options, tap the Auto back up tab.

Finally, if you do not want any service in the list backed up to Samsung Cloud, turn it off.

There are three more settings I need to show you on the Samsung Cloud Settings screen. To return to the settings screen, on the top left, tap the back button.

Back on the Samsung Cloud Settings screen, you can enable the option to Auto back up while roaming. This option is disabled by default.

Additionally, you can view all the devices that you activated Samsung Cloud. Finally, to add the Samsung Cloud app to your app’s screen, flip the Show Samsung Cloud icon button from OFF to ON.

When you finish making the changes you require, to return to the Samsung Cloud home page, tap the back button on the top left of the screen – see the second screenshot below.

Back Up Your Phone’s Data with Samsung Cloud

In the last sub-section, I showed you how to sync apps on your phone to Samsung Cloud. I also showed you how to use the app’s settings to determine the services you can sync and backup.

In this section, I will show you how to backup Samsung apps on your phone.

Moving on, the Back up data section of the Samsung Cloud app displays the last time a backup was taken.

To view the back up details, modify what is backed up or remove apps from backup, tap Back up data. Then, wait for the back up data to load.

The Back up data screen displays all the apps that you can backup. If you do not wish to backup an app, uncheck the checkbox beside the app.

Finally, to perform a manual backup, at the bottom of the Back up data screen, tap Back up.

Restore Your Phone’s Data with Samsung Cloud

Another benefit of accessing Samsung Cloud is the option of restoring your phone with an existing backup.

If you backup your phone’s data, you may need to restore it at some point. One instance that you may have the need to restore your backed up phone’s data is if you lose your phone, or if you get a new phone.

Sometimes, you may also want to restore your current phone to a previous state.

No matter the reason you may want to restore your phone’s data, to initiate the restore process, tap Restore data.

.

Then, on the Restore data screen, if you have more than one device in your Samsung Cloud account, tap the drop-down beneath Choose the device and data you want to restore.

Finally, de-select the apps you do not want to restore (they are all selected by default) – then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap Restore.

How to Delete Backup from Samsung Cloud

This is the final Samsung Cloud task covered in this guide. To delete a backup you no longer need, on the Samsung Cloud App home screen, tap Delete backup.

Then, on the Delete backup screen, if you have more than one device in your Samsung Cloud account, tap the device drop-down and select the device you want to delete backup from. Finally, de-select the apps you DO NOT want to delete from the backup (all apps are selected by default) – then, scroll to the bottom of the screen and tab Delete.
