‘Cloud’ is the term used to describe a network comprising of several servers that are synced together. When you transfer files to the Cloud, they are stored on web servers and are then accessible online.
This principle ensures a high level of reliability because the server connection can compensate for any disruptions. You can access your file storage throughout and are protected against data loss.
GMX Cloud storage is your personal cloud with GMX, which you can use directly through your account. With 2 GB of storage space, FreeMail users have enough space to store lots of photos or files online. The GMX Cloud allows you to save and access files at any time, from any end device. The cloud can also be used as a backup solution for photos and documents, and you can easily share your files with others using a share link.
The GMX Cloud is automatically included in the email inbox’s basic features and can be accessed through the main dashboard. More access options include:
GMX Cloud storage offers the highest possible levels of data security: All GMX servers are located in fail-safe data centres that are constantly in operation and kept up to date with security requirements. SSL-encrypted transmission paths between the servers and your end device also ensure that nobody has unauthorised online access to your documents.
Select the 'Share' option in the GMX Cloud menu or right-click on your chosen folder to create an individual share link. You can then send this link to friends and family to view or edit your files. You can also easily share files online through the GMX app.
Yes, you can use the cross-account search to the left of the ‘Log Out’ option. Simply enter a search term and you will automatically receive all search results from the GMX Cloud and other mailbox apps, sorted into specific categories: Email, Contacts and Organizer. This saves time because you won’t have to switch between searches in individual areas. You may even find more information about your search term.
