What does cloud sync mean?
Most people don’t use just one device — they use several. From home computers to smartwatches, the need to access the same apps on different devices is ever-growing. That’s why app creators rarely limit their product to one operating system.
You may have heard of features like multi-device integration or cloud sync. Despite sometimes being used interchangeably, these two features aren’t the same:
- Multi-device means that the same app can be installed on more than one platform.
- Cloud sync is the ability to access the same settings and data on different devices.
How is cloud sync useful?
Cross-platform features allow users to use their favorite apps no matter where they go. For offline apps, this means accessing them on different operating systems. But when the app is connected to the internet, cross-platform capabilities shoot up, allowing you to sync your files and settings across all your devices.
Cloud sync helps your apps always stay up to date, whether you’re using a computer or mobile device.

Frequently
asked questions
Sync is short for synchronization. It’s a process of using the cloud to connect two or more devices. You can sync files, messages, contacts, and settings. Sync and cloud sync often mean the same thing.
Anything you upload to your NordLocker Cloud storage will be synced across your devices. But what if you don’t need all files on all devices? On PCs and Macs, you can choose which lockers, folders, and files to sync (store on the cloud and download to your devices) and which to store on the cloud only.
On mobile devices, all lockers are cloud-only. Rather than downloading all of your files automatically, you choose what files you need.
