HUAWEI Mobile Cloud is a comprehensive cloud storage service. It provides a secure and seamless synchronization among smartphones, tablets, and PCs, allowing users to access their data from any device, anywhere, anytime. 

One of the main features of HUAWEI Mobile Cloud is its ability to automatically sync data between different devices. For example, if you take a picture on your HUAWEI P60 Pro smartphone, it will instantly appear on your MatePad or PC, without the need for manual transfer or uploading.

The HUAWEI Browser provides users with a convenient and seamless browsing experience across all their devices. With cross-device bookmarks, history, and settings management, users can easily access their browsing data from their smartphones, tablets, and PCs with a single touch using the same HUAWEI ID. This ensures that users can continue their browsing sessions from where they left off on any device, without any interruptions or manual syncing. Additionally, the browser's secure and seamless synchronization capabilities make it easy for users to switch between devices and maintain the same browsing experience across all their devices.
