Secure cloud backup and remote file access
Livedrive provides cloud-based backup and storage so you can keep your files safe and reach them from any device. Its desktop client can run scheduled backups of important folders to your online space, while the Android app gives you encrypted access to those stored items wherever you are. The mobile app also has an option to automatically upload photos and videos captured on your phone to your Livedrive account.
What the Android app can do
- Share stored documents, photos, and videos with family or colleagues directly from the app.
- Stream music and video straight from your cloud account to your device or cast it to a Chromecast-enabled screen.
- Edit and open documents while you’re away from your computer.
- Flip through your pictures in a full-screen slideshow presentation.
- Automatically upload and protect all images and video recorded on your phone or tablet.
Desktop client and sync features
The desktop application runs in the background to protect selected files by copying them to your Livedrive storage. Once synced, those files become available to your mobile devices and can be streamed or downloaded on demand.
Plans, accounts, and limitations
A Livedrive account is required to use the service. Note that mobile backup, direct uploads from the app, and in-app sharing are limited to users on the Briefcase or Pro Suite plans — these features aren’t available on all subscription tiers.
Suggested free mobile title
If you’re also exploring mobile apps and games, one widely played free option is Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Final thoughts
Overall, Livedrive is a solid choice for users who want automatic backups, remote access across platforms, and the ability to stream or share files from the cloud. Consider the plan requirements before relying on mobile-specific backup and sharing features.
