Verizon Cloud Desktop App
Archive Files on Your Computer

Turning on the Archive feature in the Verizon Cloud desktop app allows you to clear space on your Mac® or Windows® computer without deleting files from your Cloud account.

Before you begin

Deleting a file from your Cloud account while you're signed in to the desktop app also deletes the file from your computer, whether the Archive feature is on or off.

Steps

  1. Open the Verizon Cloud desktop app using one of the following methods:
    • Select the
      Cloud icon
       in the system tray (lower-right, Windows) or menu bar (upper-right, Mac).
    • Search for
      Verizon Cloud
       in your application list.
  2. From the toolbar, tap the
    3-dot Menu
     then navigate:
    Settings
    Other Settings
    .
  3. Select the
    Archive files switch
     to turn on or off.
    Turning the Archive feature on allows you to delete files from your computer without deleting them from your Cloud account. When deleted from your computer, archived files stay in the same location where they were originally backed up to your Cloud account.
    Turning the Archive feature off does not delete files you've already archived in your Cloud account. If the Archive feature is off, then deleting a file from your computer also deletes it from your Cloud account.
