Cloud storage has important advantages; it frees up space in your computer or phone by enabling you to delete those files, videos or pictures that you don’t have enough space for. Also, if you are in need of a backup storage choice for your information, cloud storage is a safe and reliable option. Another benefit is that cloud storage gives you access to your files from anywhere and on any device.
Fortunately, there are many options to choose from with the recent upsurge in demand for cloud storage lockers. If you are looking for freebies out there, there are plenty of services that will provide you with free capacity with the option for you to sign up for a subscription once you run out of space.
Given that there are a number of choices that offer free storage options, it might be difficult to decide which ones will work best for you. For some users, the level of security provided or the user-friendliness of the platform may matter more than the amount of raw storage space given for free. The following list will rank the cloud storage options in terms of the most to the least free storage offered.

3. Apple iCloud — 5GB for Apple owners, 1GB for everyone
Apple iCloud is one of the most popular cloud storage services out there. It provides backup and sync services with up to 5GB free for owners of Apple devices and 1GB for all the other users. Although 5GB doesn’t seem like a generous amount of free storage, the good news is your photos, which are automatically backed up into your iCloud, don’t count towards that limit. Also, Apple Books, media that you bought from iTunes or anything you bought from the App Store will get a free pass too.
