Good to know
What it is
An installed backup app that keeps encrypted cloud copies of the files you choose.
What it is not
A sync folder that also syncs your mistakes, or unlimited storage by implication.
Is sync the same as backup?
No. Sync copies changes everywhere, including deletions. A backup keeps copies you can restore.
How much storage is included?
Your account shows the exact amount before you set it up. We never call a limit unlimited.
Can I restore to a new device?
Yes. Sign in to the backup app on the new device and restore what you need.
Stuck on a step?
Call or email and we set it up with you.
