What is and how to back up your phone on the Samsung Cloud
The Samsung Cloud is a service that offers 15GB of free cloud storage for smartphone and tablet users from Samsung's Galaxy line. Just like Apple's iCloud, the feature backs up your device's data online and lets you retrieve it later. You can save photos, notes, passwords, contacts, browser history, and other items in memory.
On phones like the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, the Samsung Cloud still saves the layout of apps and folders from the home screen, and allows you to restore the entire arrangement.
