Cloud Data Storage Service

Some of the best cloud data storage service options of the day include –

Dropbox
Dropbox is arguably one of the most popular cloud data storage service
options in the market offering 2GB of storage space as part of the free basic
account. This may not suffice for the storage needs of most individuals

today, given the relatively large size of media files shared but it is possible
to expand this storage space in several ways.

Additional Storage:
Simply for taking a tour of the basic account, you will get an additional
250 MB and if you choose to set up a Mailbox account, you can get an
additional 1 GB of storage. You can refer friends and get an extra 500 MB
of storage against every sign-up. There is a cap of 16 GB on the additional
space you can get through referral. Enabling camera upload feature would
get you a straight benefit of 3GB in your storage space.

Paid Subscription Plans:
Alternatively, you can subscribe to a plan of £9.99 per month for 1TB
storage. For paid business users, Dropbox Business is an excellent choice
with unlimited storage for $15 per month on the offer. To check out the
utility you can avail a 30-day free subscription as well.
