What is the Samsung Cloud?
Samsung Cloud is a cloud storage service launched by Samsung that allows users to back up and restore their data on their Samsung phone. You can back up your data automatically, but if you want to do it manually, you can.
However, many users experience problems when backing up their data to the Samsung Cloud – they cannot back up their data because the backup is unsuccessful.
For example, look at the current practice scenario!

Practical Scenario 2: A Samsung Galaxy S9 user’s cloud backup fails due to low storage capacity.
Samsung Cloud Backup failed
I need help! I have an unlocked S9 Plus model. Every morning I wake up to an error message from the Samsung Cloud that it could not be backed up due to lack of storage space! As you can see from my picture, I have over 14.98 of the 15G storage available.
What’s going on? I tried Google, but all they seem to solve are wifi issues in the cloud, not storage issues. Do you have any ideas? Thank you very much in advance.
