Upload Files to Your Storage

Files Manager is your personal storage on xCloudPhone. It's where you keep APKs, images, videos, archives, and anything else you want to reuse across virtual devices. Upload once — use on many devices, from anywhere.

Open Files Manager

Go to app.xcloudphone.com/dashboard/files-manager from the main menu. You'll see two storage areas right away:

Main Storage — long-term storage. Files here stay until you delete them.
Temp Storage — short-term storage. Files self-delete after a while. Great for one-off uses.

Click a tab to switch between them. Each area has its own folder tree — they don't mix.

If a file is an APK you'll install on many devices, keep it in Main Storage. Test images or one-off videos can go in Temp Storage to keep things tidy on their own.

How to upload

Fastest way: drag files from your computer and drop them into the upload zone. The zone highlights when you drag a file over it, so you know it's ready.

You can drag:

A single file
Multiple files at once
A whole folder (the files inside get listed)

Prefer the classic route? Click Upload in the toolbar. Your OS file picker opens — select one or more files and confirm.

Track upload progress

Once an upload starts, a progress panel appears in the corner. Each file gets its own row so you can see exactly what's going on:

Percent complete — know how far each file has to go.
Status — pending, uploading, completed, failed, or paused.
Pause / Resume — pause when your connection is shaky and resume later.
Retry — if one file fails, retry just that file without re-queuing the whole batch.

When the batch is done, you get a summary: how many succeeded and how many failed.

Uploading in parallel is faster than one-at-a-time. Pick the whole batch — the system queues and processes them concurrently.

Handling duplicate names

If you upload a file and the destination folder already has one with the same name, a dialog asks what to do:

Overwrite — replace the old file with the new one.
Skip — keep the old file, don't upload the new one.
Overwrite All / Skip All — apply the same choice to every duplicate in the batch.
Tick per file — choose individually which to overwrite and which to skip.

Be careful with "Overwrite All" — old files cannot be recovered.

Watch your storage usage

In the corner of Files Manager you'll see a storage indicator: how much you've used, how much remains, and the total. Hover for percentage details.

When you're getting close to the limit:

Delete old APKs you don't need anymore.

Clear out test images and videos that have served their purpose.

Move rarely-used files to Temp Storage (if you're okay with them auto-deleting later).

Storage is capped per plan. Uploads will be rejected when you're full. Clean up regularly so you're not stuck the moment you urgently need to upload something.

Common upload errors

Network error

Flaky connection cut the upload mid-stream. Hit "Retry" on that file.

File too large

Check your plan's per-file size limit.

Out of storage

Clear some files and try again.

Upload aborted

You closed the tab or canceled. Just upload again.
