ABSTRACT
Our project has a very simple aim which is to solve our
daily problems which include transferring photos and
different media from our phone storage to external
storage. which is why we chose to work on -
"transferring phone gallary data to the cloud to reduce
load on device's memory".
Keywords—
Cloud,
INTRODUCTION
Today android devices play an important role in
our day to day life since most of the tasks can be done
on android device. Since the people have to manage
their phone's multimedia carefully . The project aims to
build a customized app to link the cloud and the device
and
store all the media received onto the device in a cloud,
and thus reducing the memory load on the device and
providing a secure platform
In today's world we have phones as our daily
drivers .they are nice portable devices used for
communicating but with advancement in phone
technology things have taken a turn since we first used
a Nokia back in 2001. People communicate and share
content with each other via phones .now where does
this content go ? right, in our phone's memory but what
happens when you run out of space ? right, you use an
external memory facility but what's next when the card
is full and you don't have the luxury of a laptop around
you and you just can't delete all the data you have in the
name of memories . I am so glad to tell you that we
have a solution .you don't need to worry about the space
that is taken by your media. We intend to link this data
sends to the cloud .each time you download the media,
it will be uploaded to the cloud so you have access to
your data wherever and whenever on the go without
wasting those extra megabytes on your phone.

MOTIVATION
The motivation behind choosing the project
was simple to reduce the memory load on one’s Device.
Every day we encounter problems of limited space
requirements on our gadgets.
Partially this is because of the fact that
multimedia like photo, video, music files, documents
etc. are stored in the gallery, which in turn consumes
the device’s memory.
OBJECTIVE
1. To design an android application to shift multimedia
from phone's gallery onto the cloud.
2. It allows user authentication through secure one time
password system.
3. An authenticated user can access the cloud from
anywhere and anytime.
4. The main objective is to reduce memory load and
provide a secure platform to save phone's media.
LITERATURE SURVEY
1.Definition - What does Mobile/(Other gadgets)
Data Synchronization mean?
Utilizing a supplier on the Internet to synchronize records
between all the work area and mobile gadgets that a client
possesses. Information synchronization is the way toward
keeping up the consistency what's more, consistency of
information cases over every single devouring application and
putting away gadgets. It guarantees that a similar duplicate or
form of information is utilized as a part of all gadgets - from
source to goal. Synchronization is empowered through
specific programming that tracks information variants as they
are made and used. The procedure is actualized in
appropriated frameworks where information components are
directed between a few PCs or frameworks. Every PC may
alter unique information forms, contingent upon necessities. It
guarantees that paying little mind to information alterations,
all progressions are converged with the first information
source. Synchronization is additionally utilized as a part of
information reflecting, where every datum set is precisely
duplicated or synchronized inside another gadget. In mobile
cloud synchronization, data or information on a mobile phone
are matched up to a server that prompts a cloud stockpiling
18
goal. The information can incorporate things like contacts and
date-book information, and in addition put away pictures,
tunes, films or business records.
2..Mobile Cloud Synchronization
While executing mobile cloud synchronization,
specialists mull over what sorts of gadgets are upheld,
how a Web entry was set up, how person to person
communication is taken care of, how open-source
innovations are incorporated and how a framework
performs by and large.
Numerous IT experts additionally take a gander at
the extent of a mobile cloud synchronization
arrangement; in different words, what gets
synchronized and what does not. Organizations are
continually taking a gander at the sorts of center
information that clients require convenience for
instance, in spite of the fact that clients' contacts and
logbook information are essential, they may not require
a similar sort of synchronization for outsider
applications included to a framework an elective
premise. These go into the anticipating the "matching
up" forms that drive the mobile utilization of the cloud.
A great many people's first experience with cloud
tech is most likely cloud stockpiling. Basically, it
resembles having an outside hard drive online that is
open anyplace. Clients of most online email
administrations like Gmail utilize cloud stockpiling as a
store for their files. Expanding on that, Google extended
Google Drive to incorporate Gmail and in addition
Google Docs and different administrations. Prominent
administrations like Drop box and One Drive have
additionally become famous as cloud stockpiling
suppliers.
Cloud reinforcement varies in that it's typically
mechanized. Contingent upon the administration, it can
happen ceaselessly or on a set calendar, frequently
hourly or every day. At the point when a document is
made or changed, the most up to date form is
transferred and put away on the cloud. While the client
can pick which particular documents get transferred, the
more typical practice is to just go down everything.
Now and again that incorporates client records –
reports, pictures, recordings music, downloads – and it
can even incorporate whole frameworks, for example,
applications and settings. Some cloud reinforcement
administrations are constrained to one or a couple of
gadgets. Another key contrast is that cloud stockpiling
enables the client to transfer documents that they don't
mean to keep on their neighborhood PC. Cloud
reinforcement, then again, is a precise of what's on the
first hard drive. On the off chance that a record is
erased, it will be expelled from the reinforcement also
(albeit a few suppliers offer recuperation of erased
records).
Synchronization implies staying up with the latest
rendition of a document or records on at least two
gadgets. It's optimal for joint effort or individuals who
much of the time utilize numerous gadgets. Numerous
cloud reinforcement and cloud stockpiling suppliers
Volume 3 Issue 3 May 2018
have fused synchronization into their administrations.
Sharing open connections or secretly including
colleagues is a typical element of match up
administrations.
Google Docs, for example, immediately makes the
most recent alters of a record noticeable to all
colleagues. Drop box additionally has synchronization,
however all adjusted records must be put in the
assigned match up envelope. Sugar Sync is one of the
few administrations for which the essential work is
synchronization. You can set it to adjust any current
envelope on your PC with different gadgets, however
there's no choice to alter or make documents in the
application. wheather you ought to pick cloud
stockpiling, cloud reinforcement, or cloud
synchronization to a great extent relies upon your
particular needs. For clients who simply require a place
to store records somewhere other than their
neighborhood hard drive, cloud stockpiling will do the
trick. Cloud reinforcement is for individuals who need
the true serenity that if their gadget is lost, stolen, or
harmed, their documents are protected and can be
reestablished. Individuals who need to work together or
consistently bounce between gadgets should utilize
cloud match up, as it always updates to the most recent
adaptations of your records.
3.The Deal with the Cloud
Just to clear up any perplexity, the cloud some
portion of cloud-based capacity administrations alludes
to putting away your documents some place other than
your PC's hard drive, more often than not on the
supplier's servers. As one tech intellectual put it: "There
is no Cloud. It's simply someone else's PC." Having
information in the cloud alludes to the capacity to get to
those records through the Internet. Your information is
as a rule encoded before making the adventure over the
Internet to the suppliers' servers, and, while they live on
those servers, they're additionally encoded. The
administrations don't transfer whole records each time
they change. They simply transfer the progressions,
sparing your association data transmission. You can get
to your cloud documents through an application or
programming introduced on your PC (once it's
introduced, it's normally practically imperceptible),
however you require an Internet association for it to
work. In the event that you briefly don't have an
Internet association, that is alright. The administration
will hold up until the point that whenever you do have
an association and put everything in order at that point.
4.Free vs. Paid
Numerous cloud stockpiling administrations have a
free record that generally accompanies a few
constraints, for example, the measure of capacity they
give or a size farthest point on records you can transfer.
We incline toward administrations that offer some level
of free administration (regardless of whether it's just
2GB) as opposed to a period based trial, since that lets
you completely coordinate an administration into your
19
life for half a month while you discover how it
functions and what may turn out badly with your
specific setup.
What could turn out badly? Human mistake
represents a decent arrangement of cloud stockpiling
tragedies, however the dropped Internet association is
another basic troublemaker. Make an inquiry or two (or
simply look through our survey remarks), and you'll
hear tragic stories of how cloud stockpiling can turn out
badly. One of the advantages of paying for a record is
that it more often than not accompanies extra help from
the supplier, so on the off chance that anything goes
wrong, you can get someone on the phone to enable you
to determine the issue.
There are numerous different motivations to pay for
cloud stockpiling, from getting significantly more space
(a terabyte truly doesn't cost all that much any longer)
to having the capacity to transfer huge records.
That last advantage is applicable to visual planners,
video editors, and other visual craftsmen who
frequently have tremendous documents. Different
advantages of paying for your cloud stockpiling
This application has only been created for one simple
purpose - to ease out your fingers from moving your
Volume 3 Issue 3 May 2018
regularly incorporate expanded access to document
adaptation history (which means you can reestablish a
critical business proposition to the variant you had
before your associate rolled out a group of erroneous
improvements), greater security, or more highlights for
coordinated effort and working with groups. Today, our
work and life can't leave PCs. We make numerous
archives, download recordings also, films, take
photographs and store them in the hard circle. With the
time flies, our hard drives end up littler and littler.
Fortunately, with the advancement of PC innovation,
cloud drive comes! It is cloud processing period now. In
spite of the fact that our nearby plates are full, we may
spare our information to cloud.

data out from your phone when your stylish device

The idea clicked us when it suddenly became a topic of
discussion among us friends that, smart phones which
we are using today make a sacrifice in one way or the
other in order to bring out the balance in design and
ergonomics that plays a very important role in boosting
the sales of a particular device of a particular company.
However, it came to notice after much discussion that
Smart phones in their early days came with just few
megabytes of storage on board. Time flew by fast and
the storage options that were being offered were
pumped to a bigger number to suit the needs of an
individual. Today, we have phones with 64 gigabytes of
on board storage and yet it runs out in a year or so. So
what is happening here? Think of it as this - we humans
are a black hole and we are consuming all the media
that comes into our way. It all took a modern shift when
apps like Whatsapp came in to play a major game.
Millions of users of Whatsapp share and receive photos,
videos, files everyday and this media ultimately finds
its place of rest in the storage offered. This heap of
media floods your phone and as a result your phone
starts to feel slow with time because it has a lot to carry.
In simple words, the power of your phone doesn’t
remain as sprightly as it once was. All this because of
the content that we keep in our storage which in turn
eats out storage and thus devices don’t perform well
and do not stand the test of time.

6.CONCLUSION
Utilizing a supplier on the Internet to synchronize records
between all the work area and mobile gadgets that a client
claims. Information synchronization is the way toward
keeping up the consistency and consistency of information
examples over every single expending application and putting

contacts and schedule information, and additionally put away
pictures, melodies, motion pictures or on the other hand
business documents.
