The new smartphones from Apple, Samsung, and Google are getting smarter. Combined with faster 5G mobile service, creating, consuming, and sharing digital content has never been easier.
Mobile users are increasingly creating and consuming gigabytes and gigabytes of digital content, often overloading their devices with redundant videos, photos, and screenshots. Thus, gobbling up storage. Most phones are bloated with legacy content, stretching the limits of storage on the device.
Smarter devices and faster service require new tools to backup, off-load, and manage files such as photos and videos, as well as other content. Used by nearly 10 million customers worldwide, Synchronoss Personal Cloud continues to evolve, adding many new features and capabilities that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The latest version of Synchronoss Personal Cloud focuses on helping users optimize their content – both on devices and in the cloud. We recently rolled out several new features, including:
• Advanced Highlights
• Space Saver
• Private Folder
Advanced Highlights
Advanced Highlights offer Synchronoss Personal Cloud users a multi-device solution to aggregate their meaningful moments into folders, making it easy to share with family, friends, and groups.
The first iteration of Advanced Highlights uses machine learning to auto-generate two types of highlights on behalf of users: “Best of the weekend” and “Best of the month.” Each user’s highlights include the highest quality photos within the associated time period. These photos can then be shared or saved to a specific folder or album, making it easier to find and access later on.
Space Saver
For customers that have limited mobile storage capacity, Space Saver offers the capability to clear local device space.
As photo and video technologies continue to advance, thereby increasing image quality, and resulting in larger file sizes, Space Saver can help offload storage-intensive content from the device to the cloud. This gives users the flexibility to manage and offload photos and videos to free up space so they can create new content.
The first iteration of Space Saver focuses on videos, which represents nearly half of all user-generated content by file size.
Private Folders
It happens all the time. You need a screenshot that has an important account number but even after scrolling endlessly through your folders it cannot be found. Saving and finding important documents and files is now easier with Private Folders.
Providing an extra layer of security, Private Folders offers a safe repository for confidential content which could include legal documents, such as images of passports, vaccine cards, social security cards, driver’s licenses, insurance information, etc.
The information stored in Private Folders is only accessible from a user’s mobile device and requires a PIN or biometric data to access. Content in Private Folders can be moved to different folders as necessary, making it easy to manage and find important files, fast!
Synchronoss Personal Cloud and these new features are now available through Verizon, AT&T, and other service providers worldwide.
