Verizon Cloud is widely appreciated as a helpful tool for users who want to easily back up and store their photos and files.

College students, in particular, benefit from this program as it offers additional storage for their academic needs.
Users highly value Verizon Cloud's ability to quickly find and access documents, allowing them to work efficiently across devices. Individuals who frequently take photos for online sales have found it invaluable for restoring accidentally deleted images and freeing up phone storage. In addition, users appreciate the seamless backup of files and contacts from their phones, safeguarding important data. They also enjoy being able to retrieve call logs and text message chains, avoiding the risk of losing crucial communication records.
Verizon Cloud facilitates secure transfer of documents, photos, and files between computers and smartphones, creating a reliable and convenient environment. Users appreciate the convenience of storing their information in the cloud, reducing reliance on physical hard drives. This functionality proves particularly helpful when accessing important documents across multiple platforms. Additionally, users highly value Verizon Cloud's free service for preserving important items and ensuring data safety. IT professionals also rely on this software extensively for storing various files and managing vital contacts.
Convenient and User-Friendly: Many users have praised Verizon Cloud for its convenience and user-friendly interface. They appreciate the simple process of storing information and find it easy to set up and use. Some users even disabled the app initially due to concerns about memory consumption but later enabled it again, realizing its benefits in resolving their storage issue.
Cost-Effective and More Storage: Several reviewers have highlighted the cost-effectiveness of Verizon Cloud compared to other similar software. They feel that it provides more storage without being too costly, making it a great choice for backing up data. The free 5 GB of space offered by Verizon Cloud is particularly appreciated by users who find it useful for backing up contacts.
Seamless Syncing and Easy Access: Users love that Verizon Cloud seamlessly syncs between devices and provides easy access to data from anywhere. This feature allows them to store and access information from their computer, phone, and tablet in the cloud. The automatic backup feature also ensures that data is available from anywhere while keeping it safe in case of phone loss or theft.
High Pricing: Several users have expressed dissatisfaction with the pricing of the cloud services, stating that it is more expensive than Google's offerings while providing less storage space. Some reviewers have felt that the product does not offer a good value for its price.
Limited Storage Space: Many reviewers have mentioned that they are disappointed with the limited amount of free storage space provided by the product. Some users feel that their data quickly fills up the 5GB limit, and they would prefer a higher allowance.
Lack of Transferability: Users have found it inconvenient that the cloud storage is not transferable to another cloud or downloadable to other devices. This limitation restricts their ability to access and manage their data as desired, which some customers find frustrating.

(1-2 of 2)- Content Restore: This has been a game-changer a hundred times over. Every time a phone is replaced, it used to cripple that user for far too long as they painstakingly put themselves back together (and inevitably would miss something or do something incorrectly and thus the frustration would continue). Now, with little time, and even less effort, everything you need is easily found, accessed and usable. No matter how careful we are, phones get damaged. They get lost. They stop working. So it's not a matter of IF this could happen to you, it's WHEN. And this prepares us for any worst case scenario.
- Backup Includes Documents: As a company, documents are exchanged often, including e-signatures and confirmations of various kinds. And as everyone knows, the worst possible moment is when something pops up that needs attention immediately. Technology works great...until it doesn't. So being able to have an incredibly easily accessed backup system in place, like Verizon Cloud, to pull documents from at the drop of a hat can be a lifesaver. Being able to pull up and view something quickly when you are desperately grabbing coffee on the way into the office at the crack of dawn because of an internal server crash...and your client still feeling confident because no matter how catastrophic your morning is, they are 100% taken care of? GOLD.
- Photo Organization: Due to the nature of my position, photos are important for current projects and even more so months or even years later if something comes up. Verizon Cloud automatically organizes the photos in multiple ways and you can easily switch between systems by clicking a new tab. Timeline organizes them by year and then breaks that year down into months. Stories groups the photos together that were added or taken together. For us control freaks, there is also an Albums tab so you can organize your photos and videos into whatever system works best for you. There is also a Flashbacks tab, which honestly, doesn't do much for what I normally need to access photos for, however, I do find myself clicking it a lot, just out of curiosity to see what photos/events/projects were going on that week a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, etc. I find it so interesting to see how things change, grow, and maybe even find unexpected trends that can help shape how we move forward as an organization.
- The home screen shows a little bit of everything, but being a control freak, I would like to be able to customize it. (Granted, it would most likely have most of the same elements, but, for example, I don't need photos scrolling across the top. I'd rather have buttons like quick links to jump directly to what I want or to see a further bird's eye view of the content.
- I like receiving notifications that a back-up is complete, but I would like to be able to set what other notifications are and aren't allowed to push to my phone.
- I have set Verizon Cloud to back up on wifi OR using the data network. But if you are using wifi while doing a content restore and you lose that connection, either by leaving the building or the local wifi dropping out momentarily, the entire content restore will stop and need to be restarted. This can be very frustrating.

- Thus far is has been a positive experience, and has saved a lot of man hours of both employees who replaced their phones to the IT department trying to help them put everything back no longer needs to go through a lengthy process.
- The cost of this option is a bit higher than I'd like. I think Verizon is a little too proud of a product that every company is now starting to offer.
- There is a free version with limited space, so at least trying it out to see how it will fit with your needs isn't much of a risk.
Verizon Cloud Storage
- Auto-Sync of files or contacts to the cloud that are chosen to be auto-synced.
- Has the ability to turn off auto-sync and allow only manual sync.
- Stores files and contacts in the cloud for later recovery in case of a data loss.
- The "free" version has a very storage amount as opposed to its competitors.
- Sync may stop during an important time if a WiFi connection is lost.
- To me it is a bit pricey to go above their small free storage offering.

- It is a fairly good thing to have to keep small items stored on in case of a disaster.
- It is too costly to store large items on.
- If you are already a Verizon subscriber you would think they would give you more storage than competing cloud storage providers will give you for free just for signing up.
