Additional Storage:
There is no option for expanding your storage space for free of cost in
iCloud Drive.
Paid Subscription Plans:
You can pay a dollar per month for 20 GB, $4 per month for 200 GB or
$10 per month for 1 TB of storage.
Unfortunately, there is no business version of iCloud Drive as yet. The file
sync capabilities of iCloud Drive are also not as smooth as those of Google
Drive or Dropbox, for example.
Box
Anyone looking for a cloud storage option well-suited for professional
users can find most of the desirables in a single place with Box. It offers
10 GB of free cloud data storage service with a cap of 250 MB in terms of
file size, but that’s not all, it lets users collaborate and share seamlessly on
the cloud, making it a perfect fit for business users. An entire team can
collaborate easily on the Box, creating and editing files in a hassle-free
manner.
There is more. Privacy controls are quite good and allow users to set
specific access and restrictions while sharing data with other users.
Individual files can be password-protected and folders can also be shared
for a limited period, if needed, with options available for setting an
expiration date for sharing a specific folder.
