Method 2: Backup Samsung Phone to your Google Account

As you know, all Android devices are automatically connected to a Google account by default. Therefore, you can also backup Samsung notes, photos, email, calendar, and other types of data to your linked Google account. Since Google only provides 15 GB of free space to every account, make sure you have enough storage beforehand. Also, you need an active internet connection to upload all this data to your Google Drive.

Presently, you can save your photos, calendar, app data, Play Store data, contacts, calendar, etc. to your Google account. Once you are ready, you can take the following steps to backup Samsung phone via Google.

Step 1: Verify your Google account

Before you sync your phone’s data with your Google account, make sure that you have logged-in to the correct Google account. For this, just go to your phone’s Settings > Accounts > Google and verify the linked account. If it is not your account, then you can remove it from here and log-in to the correct account instead.

Step 2: Backup Samsung phone via Google

After visiting your phone’s Google account settings, you can just tap on your account, and enabled its syncing option. You can turn on/off the feature to sync any type of data from here. Furthermore, tap on the three-dot icon from the top and select the “Sync Now” button to take an immediate backup of your device.

Method 3: Backup Samsung Phone to your Samsung Cloud Account

Just like Google, Samsung also offers 15 GB of free storage on every account that you can use to backup Samsung phone or tablet. Though, if your file’s size is of more than 1 GB, then you can’t save it to Samsung cloud. It can sync almost all kinds of data on your phone, such as photos, videos, music, calendar, contacts, messages, documents, voice recordings, and so on.

Firstly, you need to link your device to an active Samsung phone and can later sync its data to it. You can backup Samsung notes and other data types using its cloud-based service in the following way:

Step 1: Set up your Samsung account

In case your phone is not linked to your Samsung account, then just go to its Settings > Cloud & Accounts > Accounts and choose to add a new account. From the list of the available options, choose Samsung and log-in to your Samsung account. You can also choose to create a new Samsung account from here.

Step 2: Backup Samsung phone to Samsung cloud

Once your Samsung account is linked to your device, go to its Settings > Cloud & Accounts and select the newly added Samsung Cloud account. From here, you can just toggle on/off different kinds of data that you wish to sync. You can tap on the three-dot icon from the top and select the “Sync Now” button to take a manual backup of your Samsung phone.

Now when you know three different ways to backup Samsung phones, you can easily pick a preferred method. If you wish to backup Samsung phone to a cloud-based service, then Google Drive or Samsung Cloud can be picked. Though, if you wish to quickly take a backup of your Samsung phone on your computer, then MobileTrans – Backup would be an ideal pick.
