If you don’t get a ton of email and don’t use Google+ Photos, most of that 15GB can be used for your Drive. You get 15GB of free storage from Google, and it’s shared across Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos. If you have a Google/Gmail account, you’re good to go for Google Drive. Other features: automatic media backups, 30 day file revisions You get one folder to put all your stuff and it gets synced across devices and platforms. A big reason for Dropbox’s popularity was its simple approach to cloud syncing.

(Sign up with my referral link to start with 2.5GB space!) Dropbox gives you 2GB of free storage, although you can quickly add mode space by completing few trivial steps, and inviting your friends.


Much like SugarSync, Dropbox has solid apps for every major operating system except Windows Phone (you can find third-party apps for Windows Phone). You want excellent cross-platform compatibility. If you’re an existing free SugarSync user and do not want to upgrade to one of their paid plans, we have some great free alternatives for you. SugarSync, one of the earliest and most feature filled cloud storage services, is removing its 5GB free plan.
