Samsung Cloud Web UX

Samsung Cloud had been sharing its ground with someone else's drive. Standing on its own meant deciding what it was for.

Separating from OneDrive raised a question backup itself never has to answer: what does a person come to the web for, when their data lives on a phone?

Mostly the gallery. So the site was built around photographs and what happens to them — syncing, backing up, and the subscription that pays for the space.

And one account is rarely one device. A current phone, an older one still in a drawer, a tablet, a watch, each with its own idea of what has already been saved. The structure has to hold all of them without asking the person to keep track.

Research into how cloud services present themselves on the web, several design proposals, and a responsive HTML guide — all on the One UI base.
