Acronis Cloud inaccessible yet again
Another day on the road, and another disappointment in trying to access my files via Acronis Cloud.
Whilst travelling on Wednesday I attempted to download some files from the cloud web interface to my work laptop to be stuck with a loading screen or 'server busy' screen. I spent over an hour of my time in the airport lounge with an Acronis rep trying to sort ports on my laptop with no luck. Then out of the blue it worked the following day.
Now last night I attempt again to gain access, but now when I enter my password for the backup it just hangs on 'loading'. I contact Acronis and finally was told that the issue was with the servers.
Acronis - However , there are issues with cloud server which is a known issue . I would suggest you to run the backups from within Acronis True Image application.
Me - OK, so you are saying that there is ongoing issues with the cloud servers? This would probably explain my issues.
Acronis -Team is working on this issue . Once the issue is fixed we will keep you posted .
Me - Do you know when these issues may be resolved? I really like the acronis software, but I need access to my data and need to consider alternatives.
Acronis - There is no any ETA given at the moment .
Quite incredible. I have had nothing but issues for the last few months which is a real shame as the software is great, when it works!

Hi Steve,
Yes I have the external HDD at home, but I was relying on the cloud service to access files on the move. In all the years I have used OneDrive and Goggle Drive I have never once had an issue in accessing my data.

You should be able to rely on the Acronis Cloud servers to deliver when you need them or else Acronis needs to get with the times and inform users when there is a known outage, along with giving a time to expected resolution.
I would recommend submitting Feedback to Acronis in addition to any comments you have made via the online chat service you have used.

You hit the nail on the head!
I know servers might go down from time to time for essential maintenance. But a simple 'server status' page with a bit of information would be nice. Instead I waste my time trying to troubleshoot, only to be told by the Acronis rep that there is a problem, but no ETA to a resolution.

Why don't you fix the problem with the servers anymore. You can't even give us a date.
