Where Does Jottacloud Store Backups?
Jottacloud backs up photos and files to your account cloud with per-device backup sets. Restore from the app or web archive on new devices.
Last updated
Jottacloud centers on backup sets per device. The phone app uploads camera photos, videos, and selected folders to the account archive on its schedule. Desktop apps add folder backup with the same model.
That makes the web archive the source of truth: new devices pull from it rather than from old phones. Exact folder names may vary by version. Keep backup running on WiFi with charging for large video libraries. Desktop folder backup covers documents the phone never sees. Retention windows decide how long deletes linger.
