If you are using a Huawei mobile phone, how can you be without this "artifact"?

People always hope that there will be a regret medicine that can "turn back time" when an accident occurs. But what reality tells us is that there is no regret medicine in the world. All we can do is to buy "insurance" before the accident occurs to minimize the risks caused by the accident. Recently, I discovered this principle of "buying insurance" The same applies to Huawei phones.

But don’t get me wrong. This “insurance” is not the other “insurance”. It does not mean that you should actually buy a “body safety insurance” for your mobile phone. This insurance refers to “Huawei Cloud”. "Space", if you can make good use of it, then it will be able to minimize the risks that may occur when you use your mobile phone.

Is it really necessary to use the cloud space on your mobile phone?

I believe that the first question that pops up in many people’s minds is: Is it necessary to use cloud space on mobile phones? Before answering this question, please imagine the following scenarios that will inevitably occur when using mobile phones:

The emergence of Huawei Cloud Space is to solve the above pain points that are inevitably encountered when using mobile phones. By turning on the cloud space function on Huawei mobile phones, the mobile phone will automatically back up the data on the mobile phone to the cloud under certain circumstances, and this data includes the gallery, contacts, text messages, call records, calendar, etc. that we often need to use. . When an accident occurs on an old phone and the data cannot be restored or extracted, Huawei Cloud Space becomes the "insurance" to protect the phone data. You only need to log in to your Huawei account on the new phone to import the backed up data from the cloud. The new mobile phone allows you to avoid the steps of manually importing and filtering data.

Therefore, the cloud space on mobile phones is a built-in function of every mobile phone, and it is still necessary. It is equivalent to an "insurance" for your mobile phone, not to mention a certain free quota. For example, Huawei Cloud Space has an initial 5GB of free storage space. If you are using a Huawei mobile phone, why not give it a try?

So how to open "Huawei Cloud Space" on Huawei mobile phones?

Security, let’s see how Huawei Cloud Space is protected

Security, as the basic foothold of every cloud product, is what every user is most concerned about, and Huawei Cloud Space protects user data security from three aspects: "account authentication", "data transmission" and "data storage".

Before using Huawei Cloud Space, you need to log in to a Huawei account. In terms of authentication management and authorization management, Huawei Cloud Space also has its own security steps. In addition, Huawei Cloud Space also has its own security assurance steps in terms of authentication management and authorization management. For example, when you log in to the web version of Huawei Cloud Space for the first time, you need to pass the security verification code verification before you can view your personal data. For abnormal logins, two-factor verification of password and security verification code is also required to pass, further strengthening the security level. At the same time, after the user's data is encrypted and transmitted to the cloud space, it will be broken into several small files and rearranged. No one except the user himself can view and read it.

After completing the first step of account authentication, Huawei Cloud Space also has its own set of security guidelines in terms of data transmission and data storage. For example, Huawei Cloud Space uses the TLS1.2 protocol to encrypt and transmit personal data. . So what is the origin of this TLS1.2 protocol?

TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication on computer networks. It is most commonly used in HTTPS to protect Web communications, and the purpose of TLS 1.2 is between the Web server and the client browser. Establish a secure connection. Before establishing a secure connection, a unique key must be negotiated through a key exchange protocol, and then a symmetric cipher is used for encrypted transmission. In order to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks during this process, the public key also needs to be protected through a digital certificate. These are the basic tasks of TLS 1.2, namely - certificate authentication, key agreement, and encrypted transmission.

On this basis, Huawei Cloud Space also uses the industry's advanced Oauth2 authentication protocol for file transfer, and key encryption uses at least 128-bit AES algorithms to ensure login authentication and data transmission. The security of data storage is watertight.

Our efforts in security have also enabled Huawei Cloud Space to obtain certifications from seven major international and domestic security agencies, including CSA-STAR Cloud Space International Certification, C-STAR Cloud Security Certification, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Trusted Cloud" certification, etc.

Functionality, let’s see how Huawei Cloud Space works

If security determines how high the “building” of Huawei Cloud Space can be built, rich functions Sex determines how many residents a high-rise building can attract. After a period of experience, I feel that the functions of Huawei Cloud Space can be roughly divided into four parts, namely "Cloud Backup", "Cloud Library", "Find My Phone" and "Cloud Disk".

#Cloud Backup

As the name suggests, the cloud backup function helps you back up the data on your phone to the cloud, and then you can restore the data from the old phone or download the data on the new phone.

So in my opinion, the role of cloud backup is nothing more than two things. One is to help you recover data that has been accidentally deleted or lost on your old phone, and the other is to help you quickly replace it with a new one. Download the original data from your old phone, saving you the tedious steps of backup, download, and restore. It just so happened that I recently switched to a Mate 20 X, so I also experienced the cloud backup and recovery function of Huawei Cloud Space.

Log in to your Huawei account on the new machine activation interface, then select "Restore from Huawei Cloud Backup" on the "Data Import" page, and finally select the backup data that needs to be restored. According to my experience, a backup data of 800MB including the gallery, applications (excluding in-program data), system data, etc., is split into two recovery steps, namely the activation page and after entering the system. .

The data recovered on the activation page includes some system data, such as input method, harassment interception, housekeeper settings, alarm clock, weather, etc. This recovery step is short and takes about 3 minutes. After completing this recovery step, you can enter the system desktop. At this time, the second part of the data will be recovered, including gallery photos, applications (excluding application data), etc. Since the amount of data that needs to be downloaded in this process is relatively large, The length of time it takes also depends on the speed of your network.

At this point you may want to ask: "Having said so much, what kind of data can cloud backup help me back up on my phone?"

According to Huawei Cloud Space ’s explanation and my own experience during this period, cloud backup can back up quite a lot of data, including galleries, contacts, text messages, call records, bookmarks, input methods, harassment interception, WLAN settings, Situational intelligence, mobile phone manager, clock, weather, camera, calendar (including schedule), etc., and can even back up data such as your desktop icon layout, system settings, and applications (excluding application data).

At the same time, cloud backup is also very user-friendly in terms of backup methods, and is divided into two forms: automatic backup and manual backup. After turning on cloud backup, the mobile phone will automatically back up when it is connected to power, connected to WLAN, and locked screen. This frequency is once every seven days. I also call this automatic backup "sleep backup" because the condition it needs to meet is the state of the phone when we sleep, so the whole process is actually very "innocent" and will not disturb your normal use of the phone. The second backup method may give you one more option. After clicking "Backup Now" on the cloud backup page, the phone will start backing up immediately. It is worth mentioning that since it is necessary to ensure that the data of the mobile phone will not change during the backup process to avoid "missing backup", it is best not to perform any operations on the mobile phone during the entire backup process, and at the same time, keep the screen on the mobile phone. state.

#云Gallery

The cloud gallery is also a feature that I like very much. After turning on this feature on Huawei devices, the photos and videos in the gallery will be able to be viewed on various devices. Updates can be synchronized on the web page of Huawei Cloud Space, and additions and subtractions can also be made on the web page of Huawei Cloud Space. These steps will still be synchronized on each device.

From my experience, after taking a photo on HUAWEI Mate 20 , very convenient. It is worth mentioning that since it is a synchronization operation, if you delete a photo on device A, the photo on the cloud and device B will also be deleted at the same time. And if you don't want to synchronize the deletion operation, you can also check the "No synchronization operation" option when deleting the photo on device A. In this way, the photos on the cloud and device B will be retained. At the same time, in conjunction with the "release local storage space" function in the gallery, local photos and videos from 30 days ago will be optimized, and the original photos and videos will be stored in the cloud, thereby freeing up more mobile phone storage space.

The biggest advantage of the cloud library is that it is "insensitive". Imagine that you took some photos of work with your Huawei mobile phone when you were on a business trip. When you want to edit the PPT on your computer, the usual method may be to import the photos to your computer through WeChat File Transfer Assistant, or transfer them via wired . However, both methods actually have disadvantages. WeChat transmission of photos will cause the photo quality to be compressed, and the wired transmission method is too cumbersome. The advantage of Cloud Gallery is that its operation is very "senseless". After taking photos on your mobile phone, you do not need any other operations. These photos will be uploaded to the cloud, and then you can log in to the Huawei Cloud Space webpage on your computer. You can download the original size of these photos through the mobile phone, which is very convenient. And if you have multiple Huawei devices, the photos taken or stored on different devices will eventually be brought together, and all the memories can be seen at a glance.

#Find my mobile phone

"Find my mobile phone" is actually a must-have function for every mobile phone. It is also integrated into Huawei Cloud Space. Once it is turned on, you can Perform the corresponding operations on another mobile phone or web page.

In addition to locating your lost phone on the map or "commanding" it to play ringtones, you can also "lock the device" or "wipe data" to ensure that your phone data is not stolen. . However, it should be noted that if you want to run the above functions normally, you must turn on the original mobile phone and connect to the network.

Although after experiencing this feature, I have not experienced losing my phone. But sometimes my head is short-circuited and I can't find where the phone was left at home, and when there is no phone nearby to call, I will use Huawei Cloud Space on the web to let the phone play ringtones to locate it. Because it works every time, this feature is also a great tool for some careless people.

#云盘

Cloud disk can actually be understood as the "network disk" function of Huawei Cloud Space, but unlike other third-party network disks, its advantage is that it is fully built-in Everywhere on Huawei mobile phones, whether it is collecting pictures, audios, videos, or documents in applications, is very convenient. Moreover, after uploading the data on the mobile phone to the cloud disk, for some users whose mobile phone capacity is relatively tight, it will undoubtedly be able to free up more space on the mobile phone. In addition, the cloud disk function opens up various platforms, whether it is a mobile phone, tablet or web page, you can quickly find and download these files.

There are two main entrances to the cloud disk. One of them can be found in the system's file management application, which can be found on the rightmost page at the bottom. In addition, it can also be entered from the Huawei Cloud Space page and click Cloud After the disk is installed, you can perform file management. If you want to upload files from your phone to the cloud drive, it is very simple: first select the file you want to store, long press and click "More" on the lower right, and then click "Save to Cloud Disk".

As I said before, the biggest highlight of the cloud disk is that it is deeply integrated into the mobile phone, so you can even collect your favorite content in the app. For example, if you see a good-looking picture Wallpapers can also be collected directly in the app by sharing on the cloud disk. If some apps do not support this function, you can also save photos to the gallery or save the data to the phone, and then operate in the gallery or file manager.

As mentioned at the beginning, it may not be realistic to buy real insurance for mobile phones, but in today's big data era, we can provide "insurance insurance" for the data recorded and saved in our mobile phones. Insurance". Judging from the experience during this period, Huawei Cloud Space is enough to become the most reassuring umbrella for every Huawei mobile phone in terms of security and functionality.
