So Your PS4 is Filling Up Faster Than a Clown Car at a Birthday Party? Fear Not, Cloud Storage is Here to Save the Day (and Your Sanity)!
Ah, the PS4. A glorious machine capable of transporting you to fantastical worlds, letting you conquer foes and forge friendships (or at least send salty messages to those who wronged you in Call of Duty). But like that friend who always brings a chip dip but forgets the actual chips, the PS4 has one glaring weakness: storage space.
Before your precious game library gets buried under a digital avalanche of screenshots and Call of Duty montages, fear not! Cloud storage is here to be your hero, whisking away your save data and games to the magical land of...well, a server somewhere. But hey, at least it's not clogging up your PS4 anymore!
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.

But How Do I Get This Cloud Storage? Here's the Lowdown (No Pun Intended...Maybe)
There's actually only one way to unlock the wonders of cloud storage on your PS4, and that's by becoming a PlayStation Plus subscriber. Think of it as a VIP pass to the PlayStation party, where cloud storage is just one of the many perks (like free monthly games and the ability to play online with your buddies).
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
Activating Cloud Storage: Easier Than Saying "Mississippi" (Unless You're Prone to Tongue Twisters)
Alright, so you've snagged your PlayStation Plus subscription. Now it's time to unleash the power of the cloud! Here's how to activate cloud storage in a few simple steps:
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.

- Boot up your PS4 (you knew this one, right?)
- Navigate to Settings (it's the toolbox icon, because apparently adjusting settings involves tinkering).
- Scroll down and find Application Saved Data Management (don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds).
- Now, select Saved Data in System Storage (because that's where your save data is currently chilling).
- Finally, the moment you've been waiting for: choose Upload to Online Storage.
Now, sit back, relax, and watch your save data get whisked away to the cloud! It might take a while depending on how much data you're uploading, but hey, at least you can browse the PlayStation Store for new games while you wait (because, let's face it, who can resist that siren song?).
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
Bonus Tip: Auto-Upload Your Saves Like a Lazy Genius
Who wants to manually upload their save data every time they finish a game? Not you, that's for sure. Luckily, your PS4 can be set to auto-upload your saves to the cloud. Here's how to enable this laziness-promoting feature:
- Head back to Settings (you're becoming a pro at this, aren't you?).
- This time, select Application Saved Data Management again.
- Choose Auto-Upload (because why not automate the good stuff in life?).
- Now you have the option to Enable Automatic Upload for all your games, or you can pick and choose which ones you want to back up to the cloud.
There you have it! With cloud storage activated and auto-upload enabled, your PS4 will never run out of space again (well, at least not for saved data). Now go forth and conquer those digital landscapes, safe in the knowledge that your progress is safely tucked away in the cloud!
