1 Introduction

1.1 What is True Image for mobile devices?

True Image for mobile devices is a part of a comprehensive Acronis data synchronization solution. This solution enables you to have the same data, documents, photos, videos, etc., on all of your computers and mobile devices, so that you can view, edit and share your files anywhere and anytime. Your data will always be within easy reach.

Which devices does the mobile app support?

You can install True Image on any mobile devices that have iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod) and Android (mobile phones and tablets) operating systems.

How it works

True Image for mobile devices allows you to access data you stored on Acronis Cloud, and sync this data with your other mobile devices and computers. Note that True Image for mobile devices is useless without Acronis Cloud, so you need to subscribe to the service first.

True Image for mobile devices allows you to:

 Get access to your Acronis Cloud  Sync Gallery (in Android) and Camera Roll (in iOS) across devices  Add files to Favorites (in Android) or Pinned (in iOS) to keep them up-to-date and get offline

access

 Share files with your friends by using public links  Upload both newly created photos, videos, etc. and existing files from your SD card to Acronis

Cloud

What Acronis Cloud is and how to get it

Acronis Cloud is a secure remote storage for storing your data. It is available via the Internet from any computer or mobile device by using one of our applications or an ordinary Web browser. Acronis Cloud contains files and folders of your syncs and online backups. The best way to sync your data and create online backups is through True Image for Windows. You can also use Acronis True Image Online for creating online backups. See details about these products at our website: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/.

To get 250 GB of free space on Acronis Cloud:

1. Install True Image for Windows (for example, True Image 2013) or Acronis True Image Online on

your computer.

2. Subscribe to the Acronis Cloud service at our website:

https://www.acronis.com/my/online-backup/.

How much does the mobile app cost?

True Image for mobile devices is available for free.

1.2 How to install True Image

Depending on your mobile device, go either to App Store or Google Play and search for the True Image app.

To find and install True Image app for iOS:

1. On your iPhone, open App Store.

2. Tap the Search icon.

3. Enter true image in the search field.

4. Select True Image in the search results to go to the app page.

5. Follow the standard installation procedure.

The procedure to find and install True Image app for Android is similar.

1.3 How we ensure security of your data

You may want to be sure that your personal files won't get into the wrong hands. You may be especially concerned about your mobile device, because all of your synced data will be transferred through the Internet.

Let us assure you that your data will be safe. First of all, we use encrypted protocols (SSL, TLS) to transfer all data through both the Internet and LAN . To access the synced data, sign in to your account by providing the e-mail address and password for that account.

Furthermore, we store your data on our servers in encrypted form. Only you have access to your encrypted data.

2.1 Signing in to your account

To use the app, you need to sign in using the email address and password of your Acronis account.

If you do not have an Acronis account yet, click Create new account (Get a free account, if you use iOS) and follow instructions at our website.

By default you need to sign in only when you start our True Image application for Windows or mobile devices for the first time.

If you are worried that somebody might get access to your files if your iPhone is lost or stolen, you can disable the automatic signing in on your iPhone (see details in The Settings tab (p. 8)). In this case, you will have to sign in each time you start the application.
