LG has launched a cloud service of its own: LG Cloud, providing streaming access to digital content across various electronic devices.
LG's cloud service differs from its competitors by its multimedia focus. It's not just an online storage for various file types; instead, it allows users to manage and view content on Android smartphones, PCs and smart TVs.

To use the service, you need to download the appropriate app: Android users can do it either from Google Play or LG SmartWorld app stores; LG Smart TV owners can find the app at LG SmartWorld store and PC users can additionally find it on the LG Cloud website.
The service automatically synchronizes all smartphone content with the cloud, meaning you can view videos and photos taken on your smartphone on your PC or TV almost immediately.

The content is compressed for different types of devices, meaning, for example, that high resolution images will reach your smartphone in a smaller format.
LG Cloud will be available both as a free and paid service. The free beta for the service starts in the U.S. and South Korea on May 1, and it will be available globally sometime next year.
