HiDrive Next Cloud Storage – FAQ
What are some use cases for HiDrive Next cloud storage?
The longer you use a device, the less storage space you have for your photos, videos, music, and other documents. Because devices can be damaged, lost, or break down, cloud storage offers a reliable solution to back up this precious data securely. With HiDrive Next, you can access your files at any time and from any device. You also have the freedom to add new holiday photos, videos, documents, and MP3 files whenever you want.
Securing files is essential for businesses, especially for important projects. With HiDrive Next, your data, high-resolution images, PDFs, presentations, and spreadsheets are protected. Online storage also makes collaboration easier. There is no need to send large ZIP files by email. Your team members can access files and update them in real time, wherever they are.
Which devices are compatible with HiDrive Next online storage?
HiDrive Next online storage works on several different devices and operating systems. You can use HiDrive Next as a storage app, desktop software, or directly in your web browser. You can access your stored data on the online server whenever and wherever you need it. This works across many different devices, whether you are at home, at work, or on the move. Here is a quick overview of how you can use HiDrive Next online storage on different devices:
- Apps: The HiDrive Next cloud storage app is available on iOS and Android. For iOS, version 13 or higher is required due to updated security features. The iOS app is compatible with both iPhone and iPad.
- Desktop: The desktop software for HiDrive Next online storage is compatible with Windows operating systems (Windows 10 and higher). The HiDrive Next software is also available on MacOS. You can easily synchronise your desktop directories to the cloud.
- Web browser: You can also access everything you have backed up via a web browser if you do not have your mobile device or computer to hand. This works from any browser. It is a practical solution if your computer breaks down while working for an important client. The web browser provides an ideal solution for these situations.
What kind of data can I store with HiDrive Next and what are the limits?
You can save all kinds of files without exception using HiDrive Next. Whether you have Word or Excel documents, PDF files, video or XML files, various image formats, or Photoshop and PSD files, HiDrive Next can store them all. It supports many other file formats as well. This means you can use different programmes across different operating systems and devices while keeping everything in one place. You get easy and secure access whenever and wherever you need it.
Storing large files is no problem with HiDrive Next. There is no set limit for file sizes. Depending on your chosen package, you will simply have more or less storage space available.
The only real restriction on available space depends on technical limits, but these are very rarely reached. For example, if you want to back up an Adobe Premiere video project of 5 GB or more, HiDrive Next handles it flawlessly. You can also upload very large Photoshop files in multiple parts.
How can I integrate HiDrive Next into my existing infrastructure?
You can easily integrate HiDrive Next into your existing infrastructure using WebDAV. This allows you to enable directory access via an HTTP connection.
What is the difference between cloud storage and online backups?
Generally speaking, there is no real difference between cloud storage and an online backup when using HiDrive Next. HiDrive Next is an online storage provider. It makes sharing and using files much easier, and you can use it just as smoothly as your online backup.
This means you will have your online backup and all your data close to hand in a single, secure place, making them incredibly easy to manage.
What kind of internet connection do I need to use online storage?
Cloud storage works with all types of internet connections. Whether you have a WiFi or LAN connection, you can perform an online backup with an online storage provider without any issues. However, if you plan to back up large video files, a faster internet connection is highly recommended.
Uploading many large image files will take more time regardless of your connection, though a slow connection will naturally take even longer. Similarly, if you use online storage across multiple devices simultaneously, a reliable and fast internet connection ensures your cloud storage performs at its best.
In short, online storage works with all internet connections. Your specific usage will determine the connection speed you need to enjoy an optimal experience.
How does HiDrive Next secure my data?
This is an important topic, and it is a major focus for HiDrive Next. Data privacy is of the utmost importance. For this reason, HiDrive Next provides secure data transfer using SSL256 encryption.
These measures ensure that your data is downloaded, transferred, and stored at an enterprise level of security. This provides strong protection against cybercriminals. Online storage is significantly safer than keeping a local backup in a desk drawer.
In addition, each user has their own private folders as well as access to public folders with HiDrive Next. This guarantees a high level of security for stored data. It also provides enough privacy for each user to manage their own projects and files. Furthermore, every user can keep sensitive information, such as employee contact details, in their private folders. Meanwhile, files that everyone needs remain accessible to the whole team.
