How deleting files from your phone and our cloud works

What happens when you delete files from your phone and in Gigantti cloud.

Updated over a month ago

Deleting a photo from the Photos timeline in Gigantti cloud for iOS or Android

  • The photo(s) will be deleted from the device

  • All copies of the photo(s) in your Gigantti cloud account will be moved to the trash

  • If you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iOS device, the photo(s) will also be deleted from the iCloud Photo Library.

Deleting a file or folder from "Files" in Gigantti cloud for iOS or Android

  • The file or folder will be moved to the Gigantti cloud trash

  • The delete does NOT affect files on your mobile device, even if it is a photo or file that is saved locally on the device

Delete a photo or video from the mobile device (outside the Gigantti cloud app)

  • The photo or video will be deleted from the device

  • If the photo or video is backed up to Gigantti cloud, it will still be visible in your Photos timeline and kept in your Gigantti cloud account.

Deleting files from a mobile device with "Free Up Space" in the Gigantti cloud app

  • This is the safest way of deleting local files and freeing up space, since the Gigantti cloud app will cross-check that the files are backed up with Gigantti cloud before deleting them
