SOS Online Backup 1.7.2.663
Thus, it's always a good idea to backup your files to a cloud account. SOS Online Backup can help you with that, it offers users up to 5 GB free storage for all of their personal files, so that you could retrieve your data easily in case your phone is misplaced or stolen.
Easy-to-use interface that could use an upgrade
The app launches directly with the registration page, without offering new users any instructions or a tutorial presenting all the features that they could find. Still, registration is made easy even if you're aiming for a free account of 5GB.
Once you're done with that, you can access your cloud account, backup and manage files. The app can be used to backup files from your phone, PC or even Mac making it perfect for those who like to use multiple devices. SOS Online Backup is a great way to backup all of your important files into one cloud account and access them at any time.
Backup your files easily
Once you've accessed your account, you can start backing up files from your phone. You can backup your pictures, videos, audio tracks, applications and various files. It doesn't take long to scan your device and retrieve all the files that you could upload to your account.
It displays the number of files under a certain category, together with the total size. However, you can't backup files by directory, the last ones added or size, which is quite inconvenient. The app also lacks a gallery viewer and takes quite a while to upload them to your account.
Tweak settings to make the app your own
Although it takes a while to load files, you can schedule backups from your phone just make sure you're constantly connected to a WiFi. You can change the name of your device on the network and have the app backup or restore files only when connected to the WiFi.
You can also select the default restore folder and have the app keep the original folder structure for restored files or overwrite existing files when restoring a folder. Still, the app doesn't have that many features or tools compared to other backup applications but it does offer 5 GB of free space to all of the users who register with a cloud account.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The interface could use a more stylish design, with some effects, more color and HD backgrounds as it seems a bit dated. |
Function7
It's a nice app, but it takes a while to upload files and doesn't let you explore them by directory and only upload certain folders. |
Security9
It only needs a few permissions from your phone and cloud accounts aren't that safe so you shouldn't store sensitive information. |
Battery7
Consumption isn't that high even during uploads, but keep your phone plugged in especially if you wish to perform a full backup. |
Price9
The app doesn't come with any ads and offers 5GB of free space and there's no option of buying more. |
Compatibility8
It needs Android version 2.2 or later to work, making it accessible to many users. |
It's a nice app, but it could use some improvements.
