That’s fine though, G Cloud never claims to be a content management system like AirDroid, and I can see how being able to look at your backed up texts and call logs and so on could be useful. I say similar – while AirDroid lets you access and manipulate what’s actually on your phone, G Cloud instead accesses your backed up copy. In a similar fashion to AirDroid (which I reviewed last week), G Cloud lets you access your phone’s messages, call logs etc. I have a fairly new phone so I haven’t had time to clutter it up with junk and inane texts yet. G Cloud waits until you’re on a wi-fi network to back up your data, considerately sparing your plan’s data allowance.īacking up my phone took a few minutes (I went with the default option of contacts messages, call logs and photos but not videos, music or documents – you can opt to back these up as well though) but of course that time will vary. With only a few photos and no videos on my phone I’m only using a small fraction of my 1GB, but I can see if you were a bit camera-happy, or wanted to back up your music/media as well you might look at getting some more space. If that’s not enough for you then you can pay to increase your storage to 2GB or 4GB, or you can earn free space by promoting G Cloud on Facebook, Twitter etc. You automatically get 1GB of space free when you sign up. G Cloud Backup is an app that lets you copy the contents of your phone and, when the inevitable happens, reinstall it onto a new one. It used to be that if you lost your phone the only way to get your contacts back was to put a “help lost my phone send me your number” plea on Facebook.īut as phones have got more complex, so have the methods of looking after what you keep on them.
