Otherwise, the "Account" section is almost empty.

As Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (True Image) tells you, by starting the Acronis Cloud storage trial, you will have 1 TB of storage space to experience the online backup.

Once the trial period for Acronis Cloud Storage starts, the "Test" button will disappear and will soon be replaced by the display of the used space on Acronis Cloud.

If you go to another section of Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (True Image) and then go back to the "Account" section of this Acronis program, then you will see that you are now entitled to 1024 GB (1 TB) of disk space on Acronis Cloud.

Click the "Browse my data" link to access Acronis Cloud while being automatically logged in with your Acronis account.

As you can see, at the moment there are 3 one-year subscriptions for Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (True Image):

• Essentials: 1-year subscription WITHOUT Acronis Cloud.
• Advanced: 1-year subscription with access to Acronis Cloud (with available storage space of 50 GB or 500 GB, as desired).
• Premium: same as Advanced, but with storage space of 1 TB, 2 TB, ... up to 5 TB.
  This Premium subscription also allows you to use the "Files to authenticate" feature visible when you want to change the source of your backup.

Warning : to benefit from access to Acronis Cloud, you will therefore need to choose the "Advanced" or "Premium" subscription.

The other possibility to subscribe to Acronis Cloud from Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (True Image) is to click on the "Upgrade" button (if you have already started the free trial for Acronis Cloud) or "Buy Now" button (if you have not started the free trial for this service) located in the "Acronis Cloud Storage" section.

As expected, Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (True Image) offers you to choose between only 2 subscriptions (as these are the only Acronis subscriptions that include access to Acronis Cloud).

2.2. Sign up for an Acronis Cloud subscription via the Acronis website

To purchase an Acronis Cloud subscription through the Acronis website, go to the "Secure personal cloud backup software - Acronis" page and click the "Buy now" button.

Next, choose between the "Advanced" and "Premium" subscription which are the only Acronis subscriptions to include access to Acronis Cloud.

• The "Advanced" subscription allows you to benefit from 50 GB to 500 GB of disk space on Acronis Cloud
  Depending on the disk space selected here, the price will obviously be adapted accordingly.
• The "Premium" subscription allows you to benefit from 1 TB to 5 TB of disk space on Acronis Cloud.

Note: you will notice that the "Premium" subscription allows you to access more features than the "Advanced" subscription.
Which is normal since it is clearly more expensive than the other one.
Nevertheless, the "Advanced" subscription is enough to access Acronis Cloud.
