Alternative cloud storage options
If you’ve got a lot of files stored in the cloud and you want to keep them there, then you’re in luck. The rise of cloud computing means there’s a whole suite of cloud storage options available. One of the most prevalent is Google Drive, which syncs up with your Google account and can comes with a productivity suite attached: think Google Docs, Sheets, and Forms. 15GB is provided for absolutely free with the scope to pay for more when needed. Microsoft OneDrive provides 5GB of cloud storage linked to your Microsoft account for free. And Dropbox’s free tier offers 2GB of cloud storage; not a huge amount but plenty for storing a clutch of word documents and the odd PDF. And Apple users have access to iCloud that pretty much automatically offers you 5GB of cloud storage when you setup an iPhone, iPad or MacBook. Like the above services, you can then pay to increase storage capacity.
