Foreword

Are you tired of paying for cloud storage you barely use? Many of us subscribe to services like Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, or OneDrive, but only download files occasionally—hardly justifying the recurring fee. What if you could access and back up your cloud data without being locked into a subscription?

Enter PocketCloud, the portable NAS storage for your personal data hub. With its cloud integration feature, you can automatically sync files from major cloud services directly to PocketCloud’s local storage—on your own schedule. Set it once, and your important files are always within reach, no subscription required.

Why Two-Way Sync Matters?

PocketCloud isn’t just another storage device; it’s your cloud command center. It enables:

  • Cloud → Local: Schedule backups from your cloud drives to PocketCloud mobile NAS storage to free up online space and avoid speed throttling.
  • Local → Cloud: Upload files from PocketCloud SSD NAS storage back to your cloud accounts for redundant, off-site backup.

This means you can demote your cloud plan to a “cold storage” tier while keeping frequently accessed files locally—with no limits, no throttling, and no monthly bill.

How to Set It Up in Two Simple Steps

1. Backup from Cloud to PocketCloud

  • In the Backup Center, tap "+" and choose “From PocketCloud to Other Location.
  • Select Source: Tap “Add File Path” to pick the folders you want to sync.

  • Choose Destination: Tap “Go to Add Target” to link your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive account.
  • Set Sync Rules (optional but useful): 1. Sync Mode: Choose manual, scheduled, or real-time monitoring; 2. File Filters: Exclude files by size or type.
  • Name your task and confirm to create it.

  • Hit “Backup” to start the process—it will run automatically according to your settings.

True Data Independence

Once configured, your files are no longer held hostage by subscription plans. Stream high-resolution videos, browse documents, and access everything directly from the PocketCloud NAS storage device—as if all your files were stored locally, because they are.

This is the shift PocketCloud portable NAS storage offers: instead of renting space from a tech giant, you own your storage and control your data flow. What you save isn’t just money—it’s autonomy over your digital life.
