Cloud solutions have become a cornerstone of modern digital life, providing seamless access to data anytime, anywhere. This convenience has fueled their widespread adoption and popularity in recent years. MagentaCLOUD, Deutsche Telekom’s storage solution, is an excellent platform for data backup – especially when combined with Syncovery, a powerful backup and synchronization software. As a Telekom customer in particular, you benefit from the simple and efficient option of backing up and managing your data with Syncovery.
Advantages of MagentaCLOUD and Syncovery
The MagentaCLOUD from Telekom Deutschland is a versatile cloud solution that offers a wide range of functions to both private individuals and companies. It enables you to store, share and manage data and gives you flexible access to it from anywhere.
However, the true potential of the MagentaCLOUD is only revealed when working with Syncovery, which significantly expands the functionality of the cloud and thus offers even more advantages for you as a user.
How do I connect the MagentaCLOUD to Syncovery?
The individual sync or backup jobs are saved as profiles in Syncovery. Each profile works with two storage locations. These can be thought of as the source and destination of a backup job, or they can simply be two folders between which synchronization takes place in both directions. In Syncovery, we always talk about the left and right side of the profile.
The MagentaCLOUD can be selected on either side of a profile in Syncovery. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Creating a session password via the cloud:
- Visit the security settings of your MagentaCLOUD at https://magentacloud.de/settings/user/sessions.
- Create a new session at the bottom of the page, for example under the name Syncovery, and note the associated user name and password.
- Connecting the Syncovery profile to MagentaCLOUD:
- Create a profile in Wizard Mode or in Advanced Mode
- In the profile, click on the Internet button next to the folder details on the left or right side
- Change the protocol from FTP to WebDAV.
- Enter the user ID and password of the MagentaCLOUD session from point 1
- Enter this URL:
https://magentacloud.de/remote.php/webdav - Now you can click on the Browse button next to the folder field to select the desired folder.
- Click OK to exit the dialog window and return to the rest of the profile settings.
After these steps, your MagentaCLOUD is ready for use with Syncovery.

Creating backups with Syncovery in the MagentaCLOUD
Whether it’s photos or important documents, data loss often occurs precisely when you need your files most urgently. In such moments, it is extremely advantageous to be able to access a current backup. A backup is a duplicate of your data that is stored either on hard disk partitions, physical media, servers or in the cloud.
With the MagentaCLOUD and the Syncovery software, you as a user have an efficient solution to restore your data at any time and from anywhere. This process is straightforward, quick and requires minimal effort. Syncovery allows you to specify specifically which files you want to back up and the extent to which the backup should be made. Your data is then reliably stored in the MagentaCLOUD and is always available to you.
Perform synchronization with the MagentaCLOUD
Synchronization is used to keep multiple data storage devices up to date. With Syncovery and the MagentaCLOUD, you can synchronize your files automatically. This means that any change you make to a file will also appear in the cloud and on all other connected and updated devices. This approach is especially useful for teams working on projects together.
Users of the Professional and Premium versions of Syncovery even benefit from real-time synchronization, which enables location-independent collaboration without wasting time and ensures smooth project execution.
Renew folder structures
Sometimes the need for a new folder structure arises, which means that previous backups and the current system no longer match. In such cases, it is not absolutely necessary to initiate a completely new backup. Instead, Syncovery offers the option of comparing with the data on the MagentaCLOUD. This method records the changes, ensures consistency in both systems and also saves considerable time and resources.
Mirrors on the MagentaCLOUD
Mirroring means creating an identical copy of your data at an alternative location. With Syncovery, you have the option of mirroring your files in the MagentaCLOUD. This means thatevery file in the cloud is an exact duplication of the original file. Mirroring is particularly beneficial if you need a continuous, up-to-date backup of your data without wanting to perform daily backups.
