This paper introduces TouchCloud, a service that allows users to connect files stored in the cloud to physical anchors in the environment. These links are enabled via NFC stickers sensed by a bespoke application available on both PCs and mobile devices. A one-month pilot study with four participants was conducted to understand how users react to this prototype. Data collected include questionnaires and self-reported tag use. The results suggest the service was positively received and effectively merged with, and augmented, existing cloud storage services.
