• Huawei phones come with 5GB of free mobile cloud storage.
• The company also offers tiered monthly subscriptions, should the 5GB not be enough.
• These tiers range in size and price, with the highest available being 2TB.

While most phones these days come with at least 64GB of onboard storage, moving from an old device to a new one can be a bit of a pain, not to mention trying to access content on your notebook when it only sits on your phone.

It is why mobile cloud storage solutions can prove handy, and Huawei has recently been highlighting the advantages of its own offering.

If you purchase a Huawei phone these days, during the setup process you can create a Huawei ID profile, if you don’t have one already. Doing so grants you access to 5GB of free mobile cloud storage, but that can quickly be eaten up by contacts, apps and your photo gallery.

For those that need more, Huawei has been punting its monthly subscription options.

Here the company has a number of different tiers, starting at 50GB and rising all the way to 2TB storage. Naturally, these tiers also differ in price, with the aforementioned 50GB tier costing R14.99 per month and the highest 2TB option priced at R149.99 per month.

The main advantage of going for one of these plans, according to Huawei, is the ability to collaborate across devices. Added to this is the ability to back up data across your phone and schedule backups, including some selected third-party apps too, along with nine layers of security built into the cloud-based platform.

To further entice its users, Huawei is currently offering a 50 percent discount on the 50GB monthly cloud subscription package. You also stand the chance to win one of eight Huawei Watch Fit devices, with more details on the promotion found here.
