Android tips

  • Google Photos users: if you’ve deleted photos from the phone after Google backed them up, those exist only in the cloud. Clickfree backs up what’s on the phone.
  • Battery optimization can pause long backups — exclude the Clickfree app during the first backup.
  • Tablets: Clickfree works with Android tablets too, using the same connectors.
  • Samsung, Pixel, Motorola and others follow the same steps; only the permission screens look different.
