Smiling cloud. SM Backup - Secure Cloud

CM Backup is an application for backup via cloud storage, created by the developers of the already known to us, which I wrote about earlier (I advise you to read the article if you have not done so already :)).

But let's return to our program. For copies of your data, CM cloud provides you with 5 GB free of charge. For a fee, it is possible to increase the space up to 1 TB, but, in my opinion, this is not so necessary. I'll explain why.

CM Backup is not a cloud in the sense in which Google Drive or, for example, is. You can use the five gigabytes that you have there exclusively to create a backup on your Android device.

Moreover, you can not backup all the contents of your gadget, but only:

- contacts;

- call log

— SMS messages (I’ll write about this in more detail below);

- Your photo;

— calendar events;

- your alarm clocks;

— your personal dictionary;

- browser bookmarks.

What I liked was the clear interface, the presence of the Russian language (something Asian developers cannot always boast of, which, however, is understandable - they have more than enough of their own market 🙂), fairly fast data transfer speed, the ability to set a backup schedule. Additionally, your data is encrypted (AES-256) while in transit, uploaded, and stored on Amazon S3 servers. And this is very reliable.

Another interesting feature is that you can reduce the size of your photos on your device by 90% after backing up the originals.

And now a few words about what I didn’t like. When moving to another smartphone, I noticed that everything was copied except SMS. To transfer messages, CM Backup suggested installing some kind of application for SMS. And no options. I had to agree, but after the messages were transferred, set my favorite as default again. As a result, the SMS messages remained safe and sound. The main question - how to transfer contacts to Android - has been resolved. And I was especially pleased with the call log, which also migrated to the new device :)

I advise you to try the CM Backup cloud and decide for yourself whether to choose it or alternative solutions, of which there are many now offered.

With frequent photo and video shooting from a mobile phone, there is a need to store the resulting images and videos somewhere. The smartphone itself is not the best place for storage, since this method is not very reliable; the memory card can easily fail or simply get lost due to its small size. Perhaps the most optimal place to store files is remote server or a cloud, where you can not only organize the contents into folders, but also do post-processing - remove red-eye, perform retouching, or adjust the brightness of the color scheme of the photo. With a video, in turn, you can trim or simple edit, adding sequential overlay of frames or applying a number of effects. Of course, the choice of options for editing or post-processing is quite small, and is significantly inferior to standards such as Adobe Premiere or Photoshop, but for quick editing, the capabilities built into cloud storage will be quite sufficient. Today we will talk about two more services for remote storing files in the cloud, where you can quickly copy the results of your creativity directly from your mobile phone, and do it through a regular Mobile Internet, if you have not yet acquired a 3G or LTE connection. This article is a continuation of the material published a month ago about such cloud services like , where we took a closer look at the pros and cons of these two incredibly user-friendly web apps.

Irista is the ultimate product from Canon

Cloud software solution from the leader of the photo industry is not very well known among the user masses. Initially, it was intended for owners of Canon cameras that support direct uploading of frames to the server with the possibility of their further structured organization in the form of photo albums. In fact, the program had the ability to upload RAW and JPEG photographs taken with a camera from any other manufacturer. In October last year, the European department of Canon presented to the public the Irista programs for Android and iOS, which expand the capabilities of the web service. From now on, also the owners portable gadgets will be able to use Irist to upload photos to Canon's cloud storage, where up to 15 gigs of disk space are available for free. Currently, you can only upload photos to Irista. As for video, the authors promise to add the ability to store videos in the near future.

What is this service? Essentially, this is a regular cloud storage that allows automatic mode upload photos from your phone's memory card, from your computer to Windows based or Mac (using a special client utility), as well as from any social networks. In fact, Irista is very different from other analog apps because of its social focus. By connecting Google account+, Facebook, Outlook or Flickr, you can automatically download photos from any of them. The function of creating galleries, opening them to the public and generating links for viewing by users who are not registered in the system is also available.

You can attach tags to all photographs based on geographic or semantic characteristics. After adding tags, photos can be easily structured and combined into thematic groups, which directly affects navigation and transition between galleries.

Additional gadgets (such as editing tools, the ability to restore pictures that have been deleted, sorting and other functions designed to make it easier to organize photos) are completely absent from the service. However, the program is quite stable and is actively developing - literally every two weeks the manufacturing company releases regular updates, as a result new functions appear and old ones are tested, as a result of which Irista feels great, far from the most latest models phones. Copying and storing files in the cloud is very well organized here; no complaints can be made about the main functions and modules of the service. Everything works like a clock. An excellent and simple addition to the web version, which is slowly gaining its market share not only among owners of Canon products, but also among other amateur photographers.

QuickPic cloud - the best gallery for a smartphone

Official page in Google Play — link

Perhaps the best multimedia gallery you can find in official store for Android. This time, developers from the Middle Kingdom from the company Cheetah Mobile managed to create an excellent gallery with backup functions, an excellent storage structure for multimedia objects, integrated mechanisms for editing photos and other incredibly useful features. The QuickPic server stands out from other analogues in the field of cloud storage of files in the cloud, namely photographs and videos, due to its functional power, speed, compactness and extreme simplicity.

One of the main features of the service is the ability to connect almost any cloud storage, starting from Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive and ending with the less famous in our area Amazon, Baidu, Box, Flickr and other servers (moreover, you can work with all of them literally in one window, without leaving the main working form). This approach immediately resonates with attentive users who value convenience and simplicity when working with galleries, using a minimum of clicks and taps.

If you don't want to connect to an external cloud, QuickPic's internal storage, called "CM Cloud", is available. In reality, this hardware solution based on server racks from Amazon. Its only and most important drawback is the small amount of disk space. By default, all registered users are allocated only 2 GB of server space for free, which is quite a bit if you prefer to store photos in an uncompressed state. Therefore, there is no need to do without third-party storage. You can read about each of them in detail in our articles (here and here).

Another valuable innovation that appeared in version 4.0 is auto-copying photos to the cloud when working with the service. Of course, except completely automatic method, all the same operations can be done manually by clicking just one icon on the panel and selecting “Copy” in the context menu.

Working with folders is also a pleasure. Each time you launch QuickPic, the application automatically scans the internal and external memory smartphone for the presence of multimedia objects, and adds them to the main working window so that the user knows exactly where the pictures and videos are located on his device. This feature allows you to structure images in storage in strict accordance with their location on the device. It won’t be particularly difficult to create a new working directory in order to subsequently place new pictures in it.

What image editing tools are available in QuickPic for Android? The user has the right to change the graphic resolution of the image, crop it (following proportional dimensions or changing the image resolution), rotate 90-180 degrees in any direction, and also apply mirror reflection image in any plane.

In general, QuickPic deserves many flattering reviews thanks to the constant improvement of its brainchild by Chinese comrades, excellent optimization and successful operation without any noticeable lags even on smartphones entry level. A very convenient client, even despite the minimal number of shortcomings (small amount of space on the company server for storing files in the cloud, possible occurrence of duplicates when using multiple storages).

The most famous services (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Yandex.Disk) were not touched upon in this series, but we have already described them earlier, and working with images in them is practically no different from interacting with all other file structures. In addition to the services described above, the use of more iconic and well-known analogues that allow storing files in the cloud would be quite appropriate.

We have already seen plenty of various online data storage services. Some are simply a network flash drive, others provide some additional functions, such as viewing slideshows or. However, the creators of the Cloud.cm service decided to outdo everyone else and created an entire online OS with blackjack and songs.

Cloud.cm is an online service that provides you with 5 GB of data storage completely free of charge, as well as a wide variety of tools for their productive use. To start working with the service, you need to go through a simple registration procedure. After this, you are taken to your account, which looks like the operating system desktop.

At the top we see a panel with a row of buttons and a news feed; on the right there is a clock and an exit button. The main part is occupied by the work area with wallpaper, which can be changed in the settings. When you press the button on the left top corner The main menu appears (shown in the screenshot). This reminds me of something, doesn’t it?

There are not many applications, but everything you need is there - file manager, media player, office suite, chat, games, settings. Local Explorer allows you to upload files to and from the cloud, create new folders, move files, and so on - in general, everything that a decent file manager should be able to do.

Media Player can not only play music that you have personally downloaded, but also tracks from other users if they have shared them. At the same time, it independently finds and displays the album cover. It's a small thing, but it's nice!

When you try to launch Office Suite, a window appears asking you to select the type and name of the file to create. We can work with DOC, RTF, TXT, PPT and XLS formats. After this, the document is launched for editing in the familiar Zoho Suite. Of course, all changes made in the office editor are automatically saved in Cloud.cm.

What else do we have left there? We won’t dwell on the games, let’s just say that there are two of them and one of them is Tetris. Local chat is a means of communication only within the service and does not have integration with external IM systems. However, this chat is only one of several tools that make up the social component of the service. There is also the possibility of creating interest groups, a music and school network, and others social opportunities, which, to be honest, I haven’t fully understood.

In conclusion, it can be noted that Cloud.cm is not only an extremely interesting, but also quite usable service. Thanks to its versatility and versatility, everyone can find a worthy use for it. Storing data, listening to music, working with office documents, viewing images and galleries - all this and much more is possible with this service. In addition, there is a special
