5.1 About the Sync feature
The main highlights of the Sync feature:You have the same data - documents, photos, videos, etc. -
on all of your computers and mobile devices with iOS and Android operating systems. Your data is
within easy reach anywhere and anytime. No more e-mailing files to yourself or carrying a flash stick
all the time.
 With Acronis Sync you can sync your data with other people, for example, with your colleagues
working on a joint project. Sync will ensure that all of you always have the same project files.
 You can create as many syncs as you need. For example, you can have separate syncs for keeping
important data in sync on your computers and for sharing your photos with friends and relatives.
 The Acronis Cloud keeps your synced files and versions of those files. This lets you roll back to a
previous file version whenever you need it.
 You can access files in the Acronis Cloud from all your computers and mobile devices.
 You can also access the Cloud using a Web browser, without having to install our application.
5.2 How we ensure security of your data
You may want to be sure that your personal files won't get into the wrong hands. You may be
especially concerned about your mobile device, because all of your synced data will be transferred
through the Internet.
Let us assure you that your data will be safe. First of all, we use encrypted protocols (SSL, TLS) to
transfer all data through both the Internet and LAN . To access the synced data, sign in to your
account by providing the e-mail address and password for that account.
Furthermore, we store your data on our servers in encrypted form. Only you have access to your
encrypted data.
