The way it works is whenever you connect your phone to a WiFi network, Robin automatically syncs to Nextbit’s cloud and clears up space on its internal memory while preserving your data on the cloud. A quick glance at the four, little lights on the Robin’s back will let you know if it’s syncing data. This is a pretty cool feature for people who use their phone to store large files of any kind.
