PlayStation Plus Online Storage
With online storage, you can save your progress on one system and then continue on another later on. You can save up to 100GB of game save data from PS4.
How do I activate PS4 Auto-Upload?
Auto-Upload automatically adds save data from your primary PS4 to online storage:
- Select your local user* and go to [Settings] > [Power Saving Settings] > [Set Features Available in Rest Mode] > tick the check box next to [Stay Connected to the Internet].
- Next, go to [Settings] > [Application Data Management] > [Auto-Upload] > tick the check box next to [Enable Automatic Uploads].
*Your saves won’t Auto-Upload from a PS4 which is temporarily activated on your account. Always remember to manually upload your saves when playing on a friend's system.
