The Combined Cloud in CBackup allows you to merge multiple cloud drives sequentially, creating a consolidated storage space with increased backup capacity.

The arrangement of cloud drives within the combined cloud determines the sequence in which backup files are stored. As data is backed up, if one cloud drive reaches its storage limit, CBackup seamlessly switches to the next cloud drive in line, ensuring continuous and efficient storage of backup files across the combined cloud.

In this article, we'll learn how to add and manage Combined Cloud in CBackup.

Add Combined Cloud

1. Log in to your CBackup account using the Desktop app or web client. Click on Storage in the navigation bar. Then, select Add Combined Cloud to merge the selected cloud drives into a single, larger storage space.

If you need to add more Cloud Drive to the Combined Cloud, please click Add Clouds to add it.
