Owing to the escalating needs of data storage, businesses around the world are increasingly opting for cloud storage than ever before. Not just businesses actually, even individuals prefer cloud storage because it offers security, easy access from anywhere in the world and total control over the data.
If you are thinking about switching to cloud as well, then keep reading through our list of the best cloud storage services available today.
1. Google Drive
With Google being the search engine of choice globally, it is not surprising to see it jump into the cloud arena as well. Google Drive offers cloud storage with almost all its services. At the moment, they offer 15 GB free space, which should be considered generous by most standards. Like most cloud services it works by having a duplicate cloud folder on your computer.
2. Dropbox
What makes Dropbox unique amongst all other cloud storage services is that it is the only service that works with Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android, Blackberry, iOS and Windows Phone. That means that if you are thinking of changing your devices, then you don’t have to worry whether it will be able to support Dropbox or not. Though you only get 2 GB with a free account, it is still considered enough for an individual’s needs. On your smartphones, you can activate the camera feature of the service which will automatically save any picture you take to your cloud account.
3. Microsoft OneDrive
Though similar to Dropbox in some ways, what makes OneDrive different is its referral system, meaning that every time you refer OneDrive to someone, you get 500 MBs of additional space for your account. And you get extra 3 GB if you choose to turn the camera feature on. Not only can you create files and folders on OneDrive, but you can also link it to all your favorite social media sites.
4. Apple iCloud
The proverbial lone wolf, Apple iCloud does not offer storage options from other platforms or devices. But it works remarkably well with Apple devices. The photos taken by any Apple devices are not only saved automatically on iCloud, but they are synched throughout all your Apple devices. What is great about iCloud is that if you start working on any Apple device, an iPhone for instance, then you can continue the work on any other Apple device from where you left off without missing a beat. With a free account, you get just 5 GB of storage space, but you can have it increased to 1TB with a paid service.
