How deleting files from your phone and our cloud works

What happens when you delete files from your phone and in Jottacloud.

Updated over a month ago

Deleting a photo from the Photos timeline in Jottacloud for iOS or Android

  • The photo(s) will be deleted from the device

  • All copies of the photo(s) in your Jottacloud account will be moved to the trash

  • If you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iOS device, the photo(s) will also be deleted from the iCloud Photo Library.

Deleting a file or folder from "Files" in Jottacloud for iOS or Android

  • The file or folder will be moved to the Jottacloud trash

  • The delete does NOT affect files on your mobile device, even if it is a photo or file that is saved locally on the device

Delete a photo or video from the mobile device (outside the Jottacloud app)

  • The photo or video will be deleted from the device

  • If the photo or video is backed up to Jottacloud, it will still be visible in your Photos timeline and kept in your Jottacloud account.

Deleting files from a mobile device with "Free Up Space" in the Jottacloud app

  • This is the safest way of deleting local files and freeing up space since the Jottacloud app will cross-check that the files are backed up with Jottacloud before deleting them
