How to install and use myCloud for desktop or as a mobile app, and how to automatically store, share and download your photos, files and videos.
Download the app for your mobile phone or your computer to use myCloud straight from your devices. The app connects your devices directly with the online storage, so your personal files are always synced.
Für den Download der Mobile App öffnen Sie diese Seite auf Ihrem Handy.
Use myCloud on your mobile phone itself and save your photos and videos to your online storage automatically or manually.
Activate the “Automatic Backup” function so that new photos and videos on your phone are continuously backed up to your Cloud storage. You choose if you want to sync photos and/or videos and other albums on your mobile phone.
Please note that your data is only continuously backed up if your mobile device is connected to the Internet.
To check which photos and videos on your mobile phone are already in your myCloud and which are missing, proceed as follows:
Connect your computer directly to your online storage: everything you place in the new folder is stored locally on your device.
With WebDav, you access your data online. The files are automatically saved on the mycloud.ch servers and don't take up any of your computer’s memory. You can see your myCloud files directly in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS) and edit them there, so you can access the latest version of your data from anywhere.
How to activate WebDav:
Selective synchronisation of the myCloud Desktop App lets you choose the folders you want to sync with your computer separately on each device. How it works:
The myCloud computer backup automatically and continuously backs up folders and files that you have stored locally on your computer or a connected external hard drive. If you lose your computer, you can restore your backup to a new computer or recover accidentally deleted files. You can also back up multiple devices, allowing you to access your backed-up computer data from anywhere, even with your smartphone or tablet.
Deleted/overwritten files are sent to the archive instead of the recycle bin. This means you can still restore your archived data for a year.
Once you have installed the myCloud Desktop App, you can launch it and log in with your myCloud account. Proceed as follows to create your first computer backup:
You can send photos, videos and files that you have uploaded to your myCloud quickly and easily to someone else.
Want to send a file that exceeds the maximum attachment size of 15 MB? You can attach the required file as a link to your e-mails via a separate shared window directly in Bluewin e-mail. This saves on storage in the inbox for you and the recipient. The recipient does not need a myCloud account to download the content or add new content.
The best way is to download your photos from your myCloud account mycloud.ch(opens in new tab). You can select individual photos as well as entire months or albums/folders to download and then click ‘Download’. If you want to download lots of photos or files at once, we recommend doing this in sections.

All data is stored on Swisscom servers in Switzerland and in four different secure data centres. Even the failure of an entire data centre would not lead to a loss of data if we ever experienced technical problems. These precautions mean that your data is always safely stored on your myCloud storage. All the data you store on our myCloud servers is subject to Swiss data protection laws(opens in new tab).
To find your photos quickly, you can use the filter function or search for the photos in the timeline by the date they were taken or by using the “Places” function. This lets you find the location you took your photo using a map. To make it easier to organise your photos and videos, you can add them to albums.
If you can't find files or folders, you can use the search function (magnifying glass symbol in the top right-hand corner) or look in the recycle bin.
When you delete a photo or video, it disappears completely from the album and from the photo area. The contents are moved to the recycle bin where they can be permanently deleted. If you have deleted files in error, you have 30 days to recover them.
