EG Cloud is a cloud data backup and sharing service, managed through the software infrastructure and datacenter of Acronis, that Electro Graphics makes available to users of its software under warranty and/or maintenance contract.
With EG Cloud, it is possible to:
• Upload projects to your cloud space, organized in folders and subfolders.
• Download and open projects previously uploaded to EG Cloud.
• Navigate your cloud space through the EG Cloud browser, which provides the essential commands to create new folders, upload and download files, create sharing links, etc.
• Access your cloud space through the Acronis web portal to access content and account settings pages.
• Access your cloud space from mobile devices through the Acronis Cyber Files app, which allows, among other features, to add annotations to PDF printouts for subsequent import into electrical schematic drawings in graphical environment.
