  1. Step 1: Turn on automatic backup

    Choose the folders and photos to protect. Howclouds copies them to the cloud in the background.

  2. Step 2: Let your devices sync

    Your phone, tablet and laptop all see the same files, so nothing needs to live on just one screen.

  3. Step 3: Clear space on your device

    Once a file is safely stored, remove the local copy and enjoy a roomier phone.

The tips board

Small habits, tidy cloud

Pinned up for you: six quick ideas that make storage and backup feel easy.

  • Name folders by year, then project

    A folder called 2026 with Taxes, Trips and School inside is easy to scan and easy to back up.

  • Upload photos on Wi-Fi

    Set photo backup to wait for Wi-Fi so big videos never touch your mobile data.

  • Keep one Inbox folder

    Drop new files there first, then spend ten minutes on Friday sorting them into homes.

  • Let share links expire

    Set a date when you send a link, so a file you shared in May is not still open in December.

  • Check storage alerts

    When an alert says space is getting low, clear big old videos after they are safely backed up.

  • Practice one restore

    Restore a test file once, on a calm day, so you know exactly where to tap when it matters.
