Why Cloud Storage Matters Today
Every smartphone user knows that phone memory gets full fast. Especially when you are downloading big videos from apps like Vidmate. That’s where cloud storage comes in.
Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive – these are few examples of cloud spaces where you can store videos online. This helps you free up space on phone and access your videos anywhere anytime.
Now the big question – Can you sync your Vidmate downloads with cloud
Let’s break it down.
What Vidmate Can Do by Default
Vidmate by itself does not directly connect with any cloud service. It downloads files straight to your phone’s internal memory or SD card.
Default saving location:
- Internal Storage > Vidmate > Video
- There is no inbuilt “Upload to Drive” option inside Vidmate. So you need to manually move or sync files after download.
- But don’t worry – it’s very easy and once you do it few times it feels normal.
How to Sync Vidmate Downloads to Google Drive
Here’s a working method I use personally:
- Download video from Vidmate as usual
- Open File Manager or My Files in your phone
- Go to Vidmate > Video folder
- Long press on the video you want to upload
- Tap Share then choose Google Drive
- Pick the account and folder you want to upload to
- Tap Upload
- Done. Your video will now be in your Drive account
Pro Tip – Use Google Drive App for Auto Upload
If you want auto-sync like behavior:
- Install Autosync for Google Drive app from Play Store
- Connect it with your Google account
- Set the source folder as Vidmate/Video
- Set target folder on your Google Drive
- Choose auto upload when file added
- Now every time Vidmate saves new video it gets synced to Drive automatically.
What About Dropbox or OneDrive?
Same process works with these apps too. After download:
- Open file
- Share to Dropbox or OneDrive app
- Upload to selected folder
- Also for automation you can use apps like FolderSync or Autosync for Dropbox.
Should You Use Cloud or SD Card?
Many users ask what’s better – storing videos in SD card or uploading to cloud.
Let’s compare:
| Feature | SD Card | Cloud Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Needs Internet | No | Yes |
| Data Loss Risk | Medium (if card corrupts) | Low (safe online) |
| Access Anywhere | No | Yes |
| Storage Limit | Fixed (e.g. 32GB) | Expandable (buy more GB) |
So if you want safety and long-term backup – cloud is better. But for offline access use SD card.
How Long Does Upload Take?
It depends on your video size and internet speed. Example:
- A 200MB video takes around 3–5 mins on 4G
- On WiFi it uploads even faster
- Uploading 5–6 videos together may slow down speed
- So always use good WiFi while uploading in bulk.
Organize Your Cloud for Easy Study or Fun
If you download educational webinars or movie trailers from Vidmate you can:
- Make folders in cloud like “Study”, “Movies”, “Songs”
- Rename files for easy search
- Share videos with friends using cloud links
- Free up your phone space once uploaded
- This way your cloud becomes your personal video library
Few Things to Remember
- Cloud storage has limits. Google Drive gives 15GB free. After that you need to buy space
- Never upload pirated or illegal videos. Cloud services can detect it
- Keep your cloud account safe with strong password
- Always double-check if the upload is complete before deleting from phone
Bonus Hack – Use Cloud for Cross Device Access
Let’s say you download a movie on your phone but wanna watch on laptop or smart TV. Just upload to Drive and open that link anywhere. No cable needed.
Cloud also helps when you change phone – all videos stay safe online. No need to re-download.
