Following a successful relaunch at CES 2026, Conner invites consumers to preview its breakthrough storage solution ahead of a global release.
Conner, a pioneer in digital storage technology, today announced the soft launch of its first-of-its-kind Pocket Cloud through a limited introductory Kickstarter campaign. The launch gives early adopters exclusive access to a new approach to mobile backup, storage expansion, and everyday data freedom, before its worldwide rollout.
Conner’s resurgence is rooted in a simple belief: storage should never limit innovation. From its earliest days, engineering smaller, faster, and more efficient hard drives that helped shape modern computing, Conner has focused on making powerful storage accessible wherever technology goes.
Today, computing no longer lives in one place. It moves with us, across smartphones, tablets, and computers. Mobile devices now capture our most important moments, store our work, and run increasingly advanced applications. Yet as devices become thinner and more powerful, their built-in storage remains fixed, limited, and non-expandable. Plus, the existing products meant to provide more storage are often limited or require a multitude of steps, making it more complicated than useful.
That challenge became personal for Conner CEO Jaci Jin.
“Like millions of users, I kept running out of space on a phone that otherwise worked perfectly,” said Jin. “Upgrading hardware just to gain more memory felt wasteful. And relying entirely on cloud storage, which comes with subscriptions, internet dependency, and third-party risks, felt just as limiting.”
That frustration sparked a new chapter for Conner.
The Pocket Cloud was created as a simple, physical alternative to traditional cloud storage, one that lets users expand storage, automatically back up content, move data freely, and offer the ability to charge a smartphone or tablet, without monthly fees or requiring internet access. Designed to fit in your pocket, it gives users direct control over their data, anytime and anywhere.

Developed to feel as effortless as an iCloud backup, the Pocket Cloud automatically performs a backup every time it’s connected, no manual steps required, and no internet dependency. Unlike traditional external storage devices that rely on users to remember to initiate a backup, the Pocket Cloud works on its own to save your important content before it’s too late. By combining automated backup, expanded local storage, and simultaneous device charging, it delivers more memory and power exactly when users need it most.
“Why couldn’t the cloud exist in your pocket?” declared Leo Lan, Senior Vice President of Conner. “With the Pocket Cloud, your storage is always with you, secure, accessible, for a one-time small fee. No subscriptions. No compromises.”
Available now through Kickstarter, the Pocket Cloud marks Conner’s first new product under Conner Storage and represents a modern reimagining of portable digital memory. The campaign offers early backers an exclusive opportunity to experience a new standard in backup and expanded storage built for everyday users.
