Best Free Cloud Storage for 2024: What Cloud Storage Providers Offer the Most Free Storage?

1

pCloud

The only features you’ll be missing on pCloud’s free cloud storage plan are password protection for files, expiry dates for publicly shared files and zero-knowledge encryption for your important documents. If this is a problem, you can upgrade to pCloud Premium with either or of storage, starting at per month. There’s also a pCloud Lifetime plan.

Sync.com

If you’d prefer “free” to mean free, and you don’t mind a bit of hustle, you could take advantage of Sync.com’s generous referral system. Get real people to sign up to use Sync.com (they have to be real; Sync.com does check), and you’ll gain an extra 1GB free cloud storage per signup. Although 20GB is the cap, the company has been known to remove it if you email them.

Icedrive

Beyond the free 10GB of storage you get instantly upon signup, Icedrive also offers some very reasonably priced paid plans that you can upgrade to if you require more space. The three plans come with 100GB, 1TB and 3TB of storage — and Icedrive took the top spot in our list of the best 1TB cloud storage plans.

Mega

Like Sync.com, MEGA also provides zero-knowledge encryption for your files. We talked about MEGA’s ultimate focus on privacy in our MEGA review — something that originates from its founder, Kim Dotcom. His unfortunate notoriety helped to push MEGA into the public sphere, and although he’s long since left the company, his ethos remains in the company tagline: The Privacy Company.

Google Drive

It would be madness if an article about the best free online cloud storage did not include Google Drive. As our Google Drive review shows, it’s one of the best free cloud services, thanks to its seamless integration with Google Docs. Plus, there’s a generous 15GB storage limit which makes it the best cloud storage for students and free users.

Microsoft OneDrive

In a similar vein as both Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, Apple’s iCloud is a service that combines with other products to become more than the sum of its parts. It offers 5GB of free storage, and if you’re an Apple user, it is probably easier to set up and use than any other service on this list. However, for anyone who isn’t invested in the Apple ecosystem, the service isn’t really worth considering.

Koofr

Koofr is a small cloud storage company from Slovenia that recently upgraded its free storage plan. You now get 10GB of storage for free, but there’s no achievement or referral program to expand this further. Because of its location in the European Union, all of Koofr’s customers are protected by the GDPR, and the service scores well for both security and privacy.

Dropbox

Another big problem with Dropbox is the lack of features on the free plan. You can see the full list in the table at the end of the article, but features like the vault, smart sync, Dropbox Transfer, e-signatures, unlimited devices and offline access are all either completely missing or severely limited. You can find out more about these features in our Dropbox review.

MediaFire

With our last two providers, we start scraping the bottom of the barrel for free cloud storage. Just because something is free doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s great, or even good. We described MediaFire as “bare-bones” in our earlier MediaFire review, and that’s still the case with this service, which sits near the bottom of our list.

Degoo

Degoo calls itself a cloud backup service. That means it doesn’t come with the day-to-day tools to improve productivity that Sync.com or Google Drive offer. File syncing isn’t included, and you can’t really share your files with others. The desktop program isn’t something we recommended in our earlier Degoo review, but the mobile apps aren’t bad, with support for Android and iOS.
