“SOS for Android is the best app of its kind backed by a cloud provider of SOS’s caliber,” said Ken Shaw, CEO and founding father of SOS Online Backup. “There are a lot of apps that allow you to push slivers of information out of your Android to the Cloud. SOS is the one app that permits you to backup your entire Android data, with an analogous service that still helps you to backup your PCs, Macs and iOS devices. It fully protects Android applications, music, pictures, videos and files at the SD card. It also gives SOS subscribers full access to their secured personal cloud including any files from Windows PCs, Macs or iPhones. Three-tier encryption and universal connectivity are features you will not find in services like Dropbox, iCloud and Google Drive.”

SOS Leads the way in which in Android Backup

SOS for Android has two primary functions: My Cloud and Protect. In My Cloud, users have instant access to all the files of their personal cloud including those from other devices and computers. Files may be downloaded then opened in another app at the device for viewing or editing.

The Protect tool enables users to pick out which files on their device they want to backup to their cloud. Pictures, videos, music and applications are backed up with a single tap on each. Other files at the device, including those on SD storage, may be selected to boot. Also, unlike many services, including Dropbox and Google Drive, SOS uses “client-side” encryption in all cases – meaning files are always encoded and guarded before being transferred over the net.

The new SOS for Android app may well be downloaded from the Google Play Store . Current subscribers can access their existing account and new users can start a free trial in-app – new accounts may also be used to backup some other PCs, Macs or iPhones/iPads . Starting at $4.95/year for 15GB of backup storage, SOS is unassuming and affordable.
