There are Several Cloud Services out there!
We’ve got so many options out there that we sometimes don’t know where to start or how to start. I’m about to change all that with you on this post. We will be discussing which cloud services are best and which ones look to be the most reliable when it comes to be using with your android phone. Remember, this isn’t a substatute for having full backups but at least you can have your files where ever you go.
The Cloud Storage Apps I’d Recommend!
So I want to help people find the free storage options and also maybe not have to worry about paying for any money for storage so here I we go:
- Ubuntu One Files — Ubuntu One Personal Cloud the freedom to access and enjoy your content your way Your Personal Cloud Ubuntu One gives you 5GB of free storage for all your files.
- Browser for Skydrive — Gives you a 7GB free unless you got the 25 gb for being a loyal skydrive user. You can register and use Skydrive and figure out if you qualify for the 25 gb upgrade.
- Dropbox — Dropbox gives you 2 gb with the option to get 18gb more with referrals. I don’t know if it works or not because I’m haven’t used Drop that much but I do like the fact that you get 2 gb of free storage.
- SmeStorage — This isn’t free App but it is free 5 gb using Amazon S3 service. You have to pay 4.80$ for the android app but I think it is worth it. I haven’t had much time to play with this service just yet but it looks like it lets you use multiple free services in one and saves you time and money with your storage options.
- Sugarsync — SugarSync Have you ever been away from home or the office and realized you need a file that is on your computer? (Free 5 gb of storage)
- Box — Box for Android and Android Tablet lets you view and share files from anywhere! Box provides simple, secure sharing from anywhere. (5 gb free)
- Opendrive — A powerful cloud based drive accessible from anywhere. OpenDrive is a free service providing you 5gb of cloud storage to view, share, and collaborate on your documents.
There are seven android apps that I’ve found but I’m sure you can find more if you look but these look promising, in my opinion and I thought I would at least get people a chance to use all these free services to get more than 40 gb of free storage for your Android device. If you know of some new ones, then by all means leave a comment and let me know! I’d love to find out more free options that people recommend!
