About Cloud storage, which could be available from your Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)
Cloud gateways are a technology that can be used to more easily provide a “Cloud” to a client. This could be accessible from your Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016). For example, using the appropriate software, the store in the “Cloud” can be provided to the client as a local drive on the computer. Thus, working with data in the “Cloud” for the client becomes absolutely transparent. And if there is a good, fast connection to the “Cloud”, the client may not even notice that it does not work with local data on the computer, but with data stored, perhaps, for many hundreds of kilometers from it.

Security in the storage and transfer of data is one of the main issues when working with the “Cloud”, especially with respect to confidential and private data that may be stored in your Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016). For example, the provider has the ability to view customer data (if they are not protected by a password), which can also fall into the hands of hackers who managed to crack the provider’s security systems.
The reliability, timeliness and availability of data in the “Cloud” depends very much on many intermediate parameters, such as: data transfer channels on the way from the client to the “Cloud”, the reliability of the last mile, the quality of the client’s Internet provider, the availability of the “Cloud” at a given time. If the company providing the online store itself is liquidated, the client may lose all of its data.
The overall performance when working with data in the “Cloud” from your Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) can be lower than when working with local copies of data.
Subscription fee for additional features (increased amount of data storage, transfer of large files, etc.).
A word about GDPR if you use data on your Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)
You should bear the following regulation if you have data from other persons stored in your Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016). Inversely, application owners have to give you control over your data. Regulation No 2016/679, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a regulation of the European Union which constitutes the reference text for data protection. It strengthens and unifies data protection for individuals in the European Union.
After four years of legislative negotiations, this regulation was definitively adopted by the European Parliament on 14 April 2016. Its provisions are directly applicable in all 28 Member States of the European Union as of 25 May 2018.
This regulation replaces the directive on the protection of personal data adopted in 1995 (Article 94 of the Regulation); contrary to the directives, the regulations do not imply that Member States adopt a transposition law to be applicable.
The main objectives of the GDPR are to increase both the protection of the persons concerned by the processing of their personal data and the accountability of those involved in this processing. To date, these principles are only valid within the framework of EU jurisdiction.
