Free cloud storage?

Hi All,

I currently have 2GB of free cloud storage with DropBox. It works well and I have the app on my laptop, iPad and phone. Looking at it though it seems you have to subscribe and pay for more storage. I'm not one to pay for stuff I don't need to so wonder if there are other free options out there that anyone can recommend?

Thanks,
Nick

googledrive currently gives you 15gb, but check what they allow themselves to do with your data. (same with ms)

You can always sign up for multiple DropBox accounts - I've got 3, under different e-mail addresses, for different businesses. Only problem is that you need to sign out of one account and sign in to the other, to switch between them.

Check with your ISP to see what they offer?

And Microsoft Onedrive, as loggyboy says...

Wasn't aware Google offered that much storage and will take a look thanks.

My internet at home is paid for by work so contacting and getting sense from the ISP is harder work than it should be. I do very much appreciate the fact it's paid for though

If you pay for backup software you could look at acronis on a subscription basis. At least you get some software along with the unlimited space. Ú0quid a year IIRC. I've been using it for the last couple of years, no probs with it. But then I want to have backed up 500gb+ so different requirements.

Thanks - will take a look.

50GB would be ample for what I want to use it for.
