I think I found Samsung Cloud on the Verizon Note 7

[Shamshi-Adad]

I understand but where can I backup videos and pictures? It is not an option in the backup screen

Google has a free cloud service of 15 gigs. You have to sign up and get a gmail address but its free. There's lots of cloud services out there. But check out Google's.

So you are saying that the samsung cloud can not backup photos and videos on verizon?

That's been my finding as well. If you look at screenshots of Samsung Cloud on other carriers you will see you can backup Gallery which includes photos and videos.

On Verizon they're purposely blocking letting us use Samsung Cloud and we're only able to access it using a workaround that the average user wouldn't know how to use. I think it's possible that Verizon was able to turn off some functionality but couldn't completely disable it hence how we found it in the first place.

It's frustrating but doesn't look like we'll be able to get full functionality on Verizon. There are lots of other options out there for photo and video backup at least. I use Dropbox but Google offers a service and many others do too.

I'm saying if you want any more answers, I don't have them. I've googled around, gone to Samsung, found out what I could here and the bottom line is that even though Verizon blocks us from using Samsung there's a hack/app named "Quick Shortcut Maker" at the Google Play Store that allows you to create shortcuts to Samsung for Backups and Restores. I and others here have done it and that part works. That's all I got. I can't search or google no more to find out anything else. I want access to the Samsung Cloud as bad as you do, but for now, I gotta just give it a rest and walk away from it.

Sorry. Peace. Alan

Google offers unlimited high quality pictures (up to 16mp)and videos. If you want to backup original quality then you are limited by your Google drive data bucket

Actually Samsung cloud is working already with photos, I have sharing options showing up for pictures in a form of Samsung cloud, one can upload and share the link etc...

And VERIZON is your carrier?

Whether you can or not (most likely not), use Google Photos. It's a fantastic app that offers unlimited free cloud backup for high quality storage up to 16 mb photos. The app has fantastic search, and organization abilities. It is Google's best app IMO.

 

[G6400]

Yes
Go to some picture and press sharing shortcut and link sharing will appear with other options. But I don't think it was there before. I also went through some settings, may be after I first clicked the link sharing. ?

 

[G6400]

If you see the cloud share offer, clock on the question mark for more info.

Does anyone know if Samsung cloud backs up the secure folder also?

 

[toenail_flicker]

That's some fine detective work, Watson.

Hopefully, it works!

Posted from the N7 Dolphin Tears™ on Big Red

It works.

 

[toenail_flicker]

Nope, but thanks. It still gets to 78% backup of the apps and just freezes. Then gives me the error. I'm giving up on this one.

I got that too, but left it alone on the second try even though I got the message again and it finished fine. I did the auto setting too.

It's my understanding nothing will backup the secure folder.

Guess I'll send everything in the secure folder to Google Drive before exchanging phones...
Thanks

I had the same problem. Then i read on XDA that if you have any apps disabled you to enable them, reboot your phone and then do the backup of apps. It worked perfectly for me. To bad we have to disable, enable and disable for this process to work.
