LG's cloud service is similar to most cloud services as it synchronizes smartphone content with the cloud server and the owner's PC and TV. Any photos or videos on the smartphone can be viewed and streamed on the owner's PC or TV instantaneously, according to LG.

The company also stated that the same can be said about content edited on a PC and how it can be uploaded to the cloud and viewed with the owner's smartphone of TV within a matter of seconds.

LG promises that there will be very little lag time or waiting once content is streamed to a TV, PC or smartphone. The company prides itself on its cloud systems efficiency and claims it will feature better performance than other cloud services that are currently available.

"The challenge is how LG will differentiate its cloud offering from everyone else working aggressively in this space, whether it is Samsung's Allshare, Apple with iCloud or other third party cloud providers," said Ben Wood, director of research at CCS insight to PC World.

The LG Cloud will be both a free and paid for service. The company will announce its free storage policy in the near future along with revealing the price for its paid-for service.
