Description:
Samsung's new Temporary Cloud Backup will save your files for 30 days, but 
after that, it'll delete them forever.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Samsung will soon be giving its users the ability to save and transfer an 
unlimited amount of data  for a short period of time. 

True to its name, Temporary Cloud Backup will store your files on Samsung 
Cloud for up to 30 days from the date of the initial save. During that time, 
you can restore your data whenever you want. Samsung will notify people seven 
days before the time limit expires. After that, everything will be 
automatically deleted. 

The company does offer people 15 GB of free storage for each user account. 
However, its limited to content from native sources. Temporary Cloud Backup 
doesnt have this restriction because it supports third-party apps on top of 
photos, videos, audio [files, and] documents. Whats more, you dont need a PC 
or any external memory device to move content. Brief save space 

Temporary Cloud Backup will be housed in the settings menu under General 
Management and in the Maintenance Mode tool . As seen in the picture below, 
users can choose whatever they want to store on Samsungs cloud (but there are 
some restrictions that well get into later). Give the software enough time to 
finish uploading and youre done. Feel free to restore the batch at any time.

According to the announcement, the feature can ensure your data is safe while 
your phone is at a repair shop or if it ever gets stolen. Galaxy owners wont 
have to worry about losing important info. Plus, you can use the tool to hold 
files "before performing a full reset" or transferring them to a different 
smartphone. It has a lot of use cases. 

Samsung states that whenever you buy a new Galaxy phone after the update 
releases, you will be given the opportunity to configure Temporary Cloud 
Backup. You dont have to set up the feature if you dont want to. You can 
always do it at a later time. Restrictions 

Now, there are several restrictions. 

Although there is no total storage limit, individual files cannot exceed 
100GB. You dont need a computer to move content, but you will need a Wi-Fi 
connection. Plus, you must own either a Galaxy smartphone or tablet operating 
on One UI 6 , which isnt out yet at the time of this writing. Its unknown 
when One UI 6 will exit beta. However, a moderator on the Samsung Korean 
forums claims the tech giant is conducting a final inspection of it. After 
thats done, the beta will move forward to an official release. 

Temporary Cloud Backup will be rolling out this fall across the globe 
starting with Galaxy S and Z series smartphones in South Korea. No word on 
when itll reach the US, UK, Australia, or any other country. But we did ask. 
This story will be updated if we hear back.
