Do you want 50 gigabytes or maybe even 4 terabytes? disk space free to store files? This post is for you! :)
Cloud storages are dedicated servers specifically designed for storing user files. You can use cloud services to share files with friends, store photos and videos from your favorite smartphone, or generally store backup copies of important information in case your HDD With important information will fail.
Currently, the field of cloud data storage is rapidly gaining momentum and is actively developing due to all sorts of potential threats associated with data loss. Companies release their cloud services that guarantee data confidentiality, which strengthens confidence in the success of cloud technologies in general.
In this article, I will list the best, in my opinion, cloud storage services of 2016, which became famous due to their generous free plans.
1. Yunpan 360
Leader in the rating due to its large amount of free disk space. 4 TB (exactly terabyte, this is not a typo). Once upon a time they provided 36 TB, now they have slowed down :) The only drawback is the cloud storage interface on Chinese. But, really figure it out!
To register you need android device And apk version applications starting from 7.0.18. (, downloaded from here -).
Registration takes place on the number mobile phone, in this version of the application you can select the code +7 and then enter your phone number.
The main feature is that after registration, you need to go through the browser with your phone number, and then copy from personal account personal alphanumeric code and with this code and your password, you can log in through the PC application.
You can also find on the 4pda website Russian portable PC version of the application ().
After registration I received 3 TB, after some time a window popped up that they gave me another 1 TB, for which it is not entirely clear, but nice :)
The only drawback of the service is the low speed of uploading files to the cloud.
2.
Free 50 GB
I only recently started using this cloud service, but I was pleased with the generous amount of server space provided.
Also, one of the main advantages is that all files are encrypted in the browser window using the AES algorithm. Those. Even the administration of the Mega service cannot view the files you have uploaded. The main thing is not to lose the encryption key :) The cloud interface itself is in Russian.
The smartphone application has the ability to synchronize photos and videos from your smartphone.
3.
Free 25 GB
For some reason, I was never friends with mail.ru, did not use their mail and other services. But their cloud is simply excellent!
Pleasant and clear interface applications, nice 25 GB for registration. :)
4.
Free 20 GB
Great, convenient service. Interface in Russian. There is an application for a smartphone that works well for auto-uploading photos from a smartphone to the cloud.
There is a special Crypto folder in which you can store files in encrypted form (free for 14 days only).
After installing the PC application, a network drive is created on my computer. Also in the PC program, you can select folders from other drives on your computer, which will automatically be synchronized with Pcloud.
For inviting friends, you and your friend receive + 1 Gb.
5.
Free 15 GB.
The main feature is that the project is integrated with other Google services, such as Google Sheets (spreadsheet processor), Google Slides (presentations), Google Docs (text documents), Gmail (email).
For example, you created Text Document in the Google cloud and it will automatically be saved to Google Drive.
6.
Free 10 GB.
This is the first cloud storage I started using. Now, upon registration, they provide only 10 GB, plus you can get 512 MB for invited friends (your friend will receive 1 GB). Yandex has bonuses and promotions, and without knowing it, I received 200 GB from the Yandex team :)
The only thing I don’t like is the somewhat sluggish nature of the iPhone application (in the process of auto-uploading photos from the phone to the cloud), it seems to me that the mail.ru mobile client works much better and is more convenient in itself. But the Yandex Disk program for PC is simply excellent. Better yet, connect via WebDev
7.
Free 5GB
I personally only use iCloud for storage. iPhone contacts, as well as notes, calendars and reminders. Any other great benefits of this service in my opinion, simply not.
8.
Free 5 GB.
I don’t know for what reason, but I literally logged into the system a day ago (I already had a username and password) and I received 15 GB for free, although the website says that they only give 5GB for free. Who already has a login and password (for example, after windows installations) - enter and check, you may be pleasantly surprised :)
They also write that for each invited friend you can get 500 MB (up to 5 GB in total), plus you can get 3 GB for free simply for backing up from the camera;
9.
Free 2 GB.
The most modest free plan :) But, you can get 500 MB for each invited friend who installs Dropbox on their computer. The friend also receives an additional bonus seat.
10.
Free 10 GB.
The free basic registration gives you the ability to upload up to 10 GB to your account.
After confirmation of registration by email, the volume increases to 15 GB.
11.
Free 10 GB.
For 1 user, 10 GB is provided free of charge, the limit on the size of the downloaded file is 250 MB.
In conclusion, I will say that the above listed services are not cloud services. There are many more that are no less well-known, for example:
Mediafire (provide 10 GB free), Syncplicity (10 GB free), Cubby (5 GB free), iDrive (5 GB free), OpenDrive (5 GB free).
It’s just that I personally liked the 10 that I listed at the beginning of the article. Even among these ten, I end up using only three :) I’m sure one of them will be enough for many.
I hope my short review will help you with this!
In this article we will talk about the best cloud storage systems of 2017 that will allow you to store your information remotely, conveniently and securely.
For some computer owners, finding enough space to store all the data they have purchased is a real challenge. Some people invest in larger hard disks. Others prefer external storage devices such as flash drives or CDs. Desperate computer owners may delete entire folders of old files to free up space for new information. But some choose to rely on the growing trend - cloud storage.
Although cloud storage sounds like it is related to weather fronts and storm systems, it really refers to storing data in third party system storage maintained by a third party. Instead of storing information on your computer's hard drive or other local device storage, you store it in a remote database. The Internet provides communication between your computer and the database.
What is the difference between cloud storage and hard drive?
Cloud storage has a number of advantages over traditional data storage. For example, if you store data in a cloud storage system, you can retrieve that data from anywhere you have internet access. You don't need to carry a physical storage device with you or use the same computer to save and retrieve your information. With the right storage system, you could even allow other people to access the data.
So, cloud storage is convenient and offers great flexibility, but how do you choose it?
The best cloud storage services of 2017
Dropbox - cross-platform and convenient
is one of the only services that offers clients work on Linux and Blackberry, along with conventional operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
IN latest update added the ability to sign PDFs directly from Dropbox, as well as some iOS-specific features like sharing files in iMessage and watching videos from Dropbox while working in another app on iPad.
The free account comes with a measly 2GB. This is a lot for documents, but if you want to store any media files, then you will need more space. You can upgrade to the 1TB plan for RUB 600 per month, but Dropbox offers 500 MB of extra free space for each friend you invite to Dropbox. But for a free account there is a storage limit of 16 GB.
You can get another 1 GB by setting up an account mailbox, and you'll get 250 MB to learn the basics of Dropbox. If you enable the camera upload feature, you will get 3GB and automatically back up your smartphone and tablet photos to the cloud. We've seen situations where users received 50 GB of storage on Dropbox for two years.
Dropbox works on the same principle as other cloud storage services. It creates a specially designated folder on your disk, which is then synchronized with the service. Therefore, if you want to upload any file to a cloud storage service, you just need to transfer it. But on smartphones and PDA devices, this procedure is slightly different: you can select files for offline access on your tablet or smartphone (by default they are all in offline mode), and the offline editing is some of the best we've seen.
Folders and files can also be shared with other users, but you cannot set permissions for account Basic, so your files can be edited and deleted not only by you, but also by other users of this service. The basic account isn't a complete disaster, though, since Dropbox backs up any changes to files for 30 days.
If you pay 600 rubles per month, you will automatically receive a Dropbox Pro account, which will allow you to manage files and rights to them.
Verdict on Dropbox - Should I use it or not?
Dropbox is the best service of its kind and has many competitors. But nevertheless, he is the only one who takes first place in terms of convenience, comfort and cross-platform functionality, which is very important and necessary today.
Microsoft OneDrive is convenient, accessible and native for Windows users
From Microsoft is a cloud storage service for Windows users as it is built into Windows 10. However, the basic account only offers 5GB of free storage. This is enough for some people, but 15GB was previously available. Of course, there are paid plans that offer 50 GB of memory for only 150 rubles per month. And if you pay for the Office 365 Personal application for 4,200 rubles per year, you will automatically receive 1 TB of space.
OneDrive uses Microsoft's modern user interface design. Folders and files can be created online, including in Office and OneNote formats, through limited integration with Office Online. Selective sync was introduced with Windows 10, meaning you don't have to have all your OneDrive files taking up space on every laptop and PC.
There is also a feature that allows you to remotely access files on another computer through the OneDrive website. It should be noted that Microsoft reserves the right to inspect your files for anything it deems inappropriate. These may be copyrighted materials or items of an explicit nature.
Verdict on Microsoft OneDrive - To use or not?
If you Windows user, it makes sense to sign up for a free 5 GB account, and if you are willing to spend a little, at least 150 rubles per month for 50 GB, then this service is for you.
Google Drive is a great storage service from Google
Just as OneDrive connects to Microsoft products and iCloud connects to Apple, Google Drive is at the heart of the various online services that Google offers. You definitely should try it!
You get 15GB of free storage when you create a Google account—or link to an existing one. In fact, you already have an account Google entry if you use Gmail, Google Calendar or even YouTube.
The storage space is shared between all of these services, so if you have large attachments in messages Email, they will count at 15GB, and enabling automatic photo backup to Google+ from your smartphone will be the same.
Google used restrictions that you can upload photos no larger than 2048x2048 pixels, and videos no more than fifteen minutes long.
Google Drive works the same way as most storage services, with a local folder on your computer linked to a duplicate cloud version. Version control is supported, as well as real-time collaboration on documents using Google apps Docs. Clients are available on PC and Mac, with mobile versions for Android and iOS.
Overall, the app's interface is quite smart and easy to navigate. You can choose files to be available offline in mobile versions, and they can be edited if they were created in Google Docs and then synced when brought back online. For other formats (such as Word), you need to open them in another application - this creates a duplicate.
Data stored on Google Drive, like Apple's, is encrypted in 128-bit AES rather than the 256-bit used by Box, OneDrive and Dropbox. Google says it won't search the contents of your information folder unless forced by law enforcement, and you can set up two-step verification on your account to add another layer of security.
Verdict on Google Drive - To use or not?
If you live in the Google universe, then this is a really great option for storing your information.
Mega - New Zealand storage service
Mega is a New Zealand company created in 2013 by German-born entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, who is no longer related to it
Unlike some of its competitors, this service provides encryption in every part of the process. This way, everything you send to the cloud is encrypted locally, along the route, and at the destination server.
Mega itself has no way to access your information since you hold the encryption key. The result of all this is that everything you store on Mega can only be opened by you. For this, there are local clients for Windows, OS X and Linux, and there are also plugins for Chrome browser and Firefox. Applications are available for all modern operating systems.
The standard free package provides a whopping 50GB of storage. If this is not enough, you can purchase 500 GB for 6,000 rubles per year, 2 TB (12,000 rubles per year) or 4 TB (18,000 rubles per year) and increase throughput with every package so you can share files with friends and colleagues.
Verdict on Mega - To use or not?
With a generous free account, fast service, cross-platform appeal, and reliable service experience. Mega is very good choice for most people who are looking for a service to store their information online.
PCloud - get 10 GB for registration
Opening a new pCloud account will give you 10GB of free storage (double the OneDrive and five basic Dropbox offerings). The capacity can be increased up to 20 GB by performing various actions, such as recommending friends (1 GB per person), completing tutorial(3 GB) and various links in in social networks, but the real temptation is the very reasonable prices of large storage options. For example, 500 GB will cost you about 200 rubles per month, while 2 TB (Premium Plus plan) can be purchased for 400 rubles per month. Among other things, there are clients available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, and you can also access your account through the website. Recently a convenient feature appeared on the iPhone automatic deletion, which deletes photos from your phone after they've been copied to the cloud.
There are import options that can automatically transfer files from other cloud services, including Dropbox and Google Drive, which is handy when switching from one or just for extra backup copy important files.
As with all online storage, you can share your content with friends or colleagues by sending links or allowing access to folders and documents. They also provide permissions so you can determine whether someone can edit or just view the file. One of good options information exchange is the download link.
One of the most specialized features of pCloud is the folder Crypto Folder, in which you can place files that you want to protect from prying eyes, be it hackers or certain government agencies. The contents of this folder are encrypted locally on your device, and even pCloud employees will not be able to read it without your key.
Verdict on PCloud - To use or not?
PCloud works well with other cloud storage services, is easy to use and offers a large number of free storage space, as well as very competitive rates for large capacities. The Crypto folders option for security is also a nice feature, especially since it doesn't require encrypting the entire drive. Therefore, you should try this service.
Well, today we looked at the most best services cloud storage for 2017. So now you need to make your choice.
