Mi Cloud is a cloud storage where you can save personal data from your phone by enabling automatic synchronization with your account. In total, 5GB is available for your data for free, if more – for money. You can save contacts, messages, photos and videos, call log, voice recorder recordings, notes, wi-fi settings, calendar, bookmarks and history of a standard browser (not chrome). But remember about limited space in the cloud.

What can be done with the phone remotely via the website?

For example, 20GB of additional storage costs 49 Mi credits per year (about $ 50).
In addition, you get some privileges like a VIP account:
