Storage, and prices vary depending on how much storage you need. Only one of the programs below that is not usable on a Windows computer orĪndroid smartphone is iCloud, as it is of course only available for Apple’s ownįor anyone who loves Apple products and uses iOS and/or Popular cloud storage services, so you know which one is most suitable for you.Įach of these cloud services gives you the ability to storeįiles in the cloud, but also to synchronize them with multiple devices. Things easier, the use of a single cloud service helps. Google, as far as I’m aware, does not offer any discounts for pre-paying for an annual plan.Nowadays, everyone uses files not only on their devices,īut also in the cloud, often spread out over different platforms. Paid plans for Microsoft’s OneDrive, which offers 7GB of free storage, start at $25 per year for 50GB of storage and 100GB costs $50 ( Update: looks like there is also a somewhat hidden monthly option, which starts at $4.49/month for 50GB). Dropbox, for example, charges $9.99 a month for 100GB. Google’s new prices significantly undercut those of many of its competitors in this space.

If you really need a lot of online storage space, you can also get 10 terabytes for $99.99 a month and then add more storage from there in 10 terabyte steps (so 30 terabytes will set you back $299.99 per month).įor most people, even a terabyte of storage should be more than enough for a long time to come, even if you store lots of high-res images on Drive.

The first 15GB of storage remain free, but 100GB now costs just $1.99 per month instead of $4.99.Įven more impressively, though, you can now get a terabyte of online storage for $9.99 a month, down from $49.99.
