Abstract: We are into an era where mobile devices are to replace most of the known devices. Mobile phone, such a mobile device which is now capable of replacing Camera, Organizer, Diary, GPS, Play station and many others. There is no doubt that mobile phones have gained a tremendous development in its user friendliness though they need some security concerns about the stored facts of the mobile phones. If the phone is lost or dead there is no possibility for the user to retrieve the sensitive data which are stored in the phone. Another fact is that mobile phones are devices with very limited resources such as space. This leads the user to face problems in storage. We take the above as our problem domain and develop a composite solution as a mobile application and a website. The website will act as an unlimited storage for the data in the mobile phone. The mobile application will enable the user to upload and download necessary data to and from the web storage. The system will be capable of storing contact information, messages (SMS) and other user selected data such as images and videos. The user is capable of accessing the data not only by using the mobile application, but also by log in into the website using a browser. Therefore if the mobile phone is lost or dead the user can log in to his/her user account and access the stored items. This system was decided to be developed in java which enables this to be platform independent which makes this to be work on many smart phone platforms and to perform with utilizing minimum resources and work is currently being done.
