HarmonyOS NEXT public beta offers unlimited cloud storage for 60 days

Huawei is offering unlimited cloud storage with HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program. It’s a simple functionality that will help users store their essential data and restore it in case they lose any information during the software upgrade process.

Inputs reveal that the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program is giving free unlimited cloud storage for 60 days. This will ensure that users have sufficient space to back up their data and other important details before the beta update installation.

After registering for the public beta, a page will appear recommending to back up important data. Users can opt for the new cloud space capability that will temporarily store their data for 60 days (30 main days + 30 extra days). It reads:

“During the HarmonyOS NEXT upgrade period (before December 31, 2024), the backup records will be saved for an additional 30 days on top of the original 30 days, for a total of 60 days.”

A major benefit of this cloud space is – it offer unlimited storage that can easily store more data. Basic details such as contacts, memos, call logs, and more do not occupy cloud space. Users can also customize the backup items to store only important data and use the cloud storage space more efficiently.

While using this feature, users will see two options on the page. The first one will save data for 60 days (temporarily) without occupying the device’s storage space.

The second one will backup and store the data in your device’s space. Here, the data will be stored permanently and users can retrieve it even after months.

It’s not the first time when Huawei is offering such a service to its users. Last year in July, the company launched a similar facility free of charge. However the drawback was, that users could only store data for 24 hours.

With HarmonyOS NEXT, the company has opened a special cloud storage space service for beta users. But we suggest restoring your data before December 31, 2024, as it is a temporary service and will end soon.
