Overview
We recommend using WiFi for backups from mobile devices. However, you can configure inSync to backup data from mobile devices over cellular data networks when WiFi is not available. You can manage the resource consumption for inSync through profiles. You cannot do this on an individual user level.
Note: If cellular data is on, carrier charges may apply.
