Which Essential Cloud Storage Will Help You Save the Most?

Cloud storage seems to be sneaking its way back to the headlines with Microsoft being on the limelight after making considerable changes to its OneDrive pricing system that may make you consider looking somewhere else.Luckily for you, there are plenty of storage providers out there that will let you have free trials just to get you tuned into their channel. Other providers will even give you the opportunity to earn free space for yourself by doing a favor for them such as bombarding your friends with requests to get them to sign up for the service. This knack may help you meet your storage requirements without having to spend a single penny though keeping in mind that those storage requirements have to be within specific boundaries.

Google Drive

It's worth noting that the Google Drive storage normally cuts across three Google products, which are Gmail, Drive and Photos. For those who use Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc, there are no limits to what you create in these apps.With no unlimited storage promises from Google Drive, it's worth noting that there is an effort to standardize the rates as much as possible.15GB come for free, 100GB at $1.99 per month, 1TB at $9.99 per month, 10TB at $99.99 per month, 20TB for $199.99 per month and 30TB at $299.99 per month.

This cloud storage service will reward you for getting to invite your friends and family to use it. This is to tell you that with hard work, you can earn yourself quite some allowance here on top of the 15GB free storage that sits at the top of the rating tree. The ranges go out as follows: 15GB for free, 250GB at $4.99 per month and 1TB at $9.99 per month.

Dropbox

This is one of the storage services that have been around for quite some time now and has even become a household name.

However, keep in mind that none of these choices are free:

• unlimited photos at $11.99 per year
• unlimited everything at $59.99 per year

This service provider comes in a more official tone than many others that you might consider for your personnal files. However, it offers sensible free tiers and mobile apps across platforms. However, when the payment part kicks in, one is left with much to desire. 10GB come free of charge then you get to pay $10 per month for 100GB.
