Finding yourself running out of online backup storage space?
Here’s a quick rundown of a few services with free plans that I have tried out or am currently using:
| Free Storage | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Box.com | 10GB | Maximum file size: 250MB |
| Dropbox | 2GB | Refer new users and both get 500MB bonus (maximum 16GB) |
| Google Drive | 15GB | Shared across Google Drive, Gmail, & Google Photo. |
| IceDrive | 10GB | 3GB Daily Bandwidth |
| Mega.nz | 20GB | Account deleted if “inactive for an extended amount of time” |

| pCloud | 10GB | Refer new users and get 1GB bonus (maximum 10GB) |
| Sync.com | 5GB | Refer new users and both get 1GB bonus (maximum 20GB) |
In addition to featuring Android & iOS apps, all of the above services also have a Windows software client available.
Tips:
- Additional Google storage can be obtained by purchasing a Google One subscription which can be paid for via Google Play credit.
- Earn free Google Play credit with Google Opinion Rewards.
- Google Play gift cards can sometimes be found on promotion with bonus rewards points awarded when purchased at various supermarkets – check your weekly flyers or add it to your watchlist in your preferred flyer app.
