Find Out More About Cloud Services

Did you know that Samsung provides cloud services, which can be a handy way to store and provide easy access to your photos? Here, we find out more about what the cloud is and why it will be useful to you as a photographer.

What is the Cloud?  
A cloud service basically acts like an external hard drive on your computer, except that instead of storing your files in the hard drive, they are given their own secure space in the cloud. 

What are the benefits of the cloud over a hard drive? 
You might still feel more comfortable saving your files to an external hard drive too, and that's fine, but the beauty of a cloud service is that it allows you to access your photos anywhere, any time, simply by logging into the service. It also makes it lots easier to sync your photos to another device or presenting them on a smart television. 

How do I use cloud services? 
Samsung Smart cameras, including the NX1, can be configured to share your photos automatically to the cloud service of your choice. As the photos are automatically backed up, you'll rest in the knowledge that you'll never run out of space on your memory card again. There are quite a few cloud services on the web, which are free for a certain amount of storage space, which can be expanded for a fee.

So, to sum up, here are the key benefits of using cloud services:

• Back photos up
• Never run out of space on your memory card
• Access your photos from anywhere
• No need to manually get photos from the memory card onto your computer
