Remote storage
On the one hand, Acronis Cloud is a secure remote storage which you can use to store:

Backups of your files and folders

Backups of your partitions and disks

Versions of your synchronized files and folders
Because files are stored on a remote storage, they are protected even if your computer is stolen or
your house burns down. In the case of a disaster or data corruption, you can recover your files and
even the entire contents of your computer.
With one account, you can save data from several computers and all your mobile devices running iOS
and Android operating systems. Refer to What is True Image for mobile devices (p. 91) for details.
To start using Acronis Cloud, you need a subscription to the service. Refer to Subscription

data you store on Acronis Cloud. To work with the application, you can use any computer connected
