Top Cloud Apps For Android

Posted on August 20, 2012January 3, 2019 by Guest Author

Android is doing a great job playing catch-up to Apple, and though it has a lot more ground to cover to even approximate the dizzying number of apps available in the iPhone App Store, the number of Android apps is steadily growing at an appreciable pace for fans of the platform. In fact, some have already become fast favorites among multi-platform users, and are now well on their way to app super stardom. The list below are some of the top cloud based apps for Android:

– SugarSync

Moving picture files and other stuff to and from your device to the cloud server can prove to be a monumental task for compulsive shutterbugs. If you like the idea of an efficient “assistant” to do the job of making backups on the cloud for all the files that make it to your device or laptop, then look no further than SugarSync. Losing a valuable folder or file is a thing of the past with this nifty app.

– Evernote

If you’re the type who likes committing your thoughts to a written document from time to time, Evernote will help you with your memoirs. You can also take webclippings and the app will store it for you for your future reference.

– Dropbox

No list will be complete without the ever popular Dropbox. 2GB of free space for new users is always welcome news. Even better is the fact that referring the app to your friends rewards you with additional free space.

– Pandora

Casual music listeners will appreciate the fact that this unique app streams music according to your tastes at any given moment. Just input the necessary filters (artist, song, or composer) and Pandora will play music based on them. Streaming data means that your “whim-of-the-moment” aural samplings need not occupy precious space on your device.

– Netflix

What Pandora does for music, Netflix will do for videos. Limited availability (currently useable on a select few devices only) somehow undermines its propensity for greatness. At least, for now.

– Mozy

Mozy gained fame as a reliable backup service for Windows and Mac users, but spinoff Mozy Mobile isn’t half bad for mobile device users.

– Box

5GB of free cloud space sound appealing to you? Of course it is; that, and the fact that retrieving and viewing data on your Android is a cinch with this handy little app. The paid version is oriented for business users, but the free version is downright awesome for freeing up space in your device, anywhere, anytime.

– Windows Live SkyDrive

Far and away, Windows Live SkyDrive provides the largest storage space this side of the cloud, to the tune of a whopping 25GB. However, the unavailability of an “official” app for Android means sync is not as good like other cloud apps.

– Amazon Cloud Player

This app comes across as some sort of maverick in that Amazon preceded similar apps from better known players in the music niche, like Apple, with this offering. Not bad, considering this is a landmark move by Amazon. 5GB of free music cloud storage? Yes, please.

About Us

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
