A reminder: You shouldn't rely solely on cloud storage for your backups. Follow the 3-2-1 rule, which protects against a single point of failure, such as getting locked out of your account or issues with the service itself.
Apple iCloud: 5GB of free cloud storage
iCloud users automatically get 5GB of free storage, split across backups, photos, and files, as well as data from Messages, Mail, Contacts, FaceTime, voice memos, and Apple Invites. You can delete content to reduce the size of your iCloud backup to manage available storage space. The cheapest paid iCloud+ tier comes with 50GB storage for around $1 per month.
Box: 10GB of free cloud storage
Box offers 10GB of secure storage on its free plan. There's a 250GB file upload limit, so this isn't the best option for media or larger files, plus you only get access to one file version. Free users do get 5 e-signature requests per month, so Box is a good choice for documents.
Proton Drive: 5GB of free cloud storage
Proton is known for its privacy-focused products, so Proton Drive is a good choice for storing sensitive records like tax returns and legal documents. The free plan comes with 5GB of space, and your vault is end-to-end encrypted.
Other cloud storage services: Free storage amounts vary
There are a handful of other cloud storage providers that offer free plans without aggressive ads, major file size limitations, or serious privacy compromises. Other options include Sync.com (5GB), Icedrive (10GB), and pCloud (up to 10GB), though some users on Reddit have noted reliability and customer support concerns with these services.
How to organize and maximize your free storage space
If you are using multiple cloud storage services, you can distribute different content types across each to maximize features and ease of access. Proton Drive and Sync.com are good choices for sensitive files you want to be sure are secure, though you can use a tool like Cryptomator (which is free and open source) to encrypt your vault before syncing to a service like Google Drive or Box.
Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud are best for files and documents you need regularly, including items that require collaboration and sharing, as well as device backups. MEGA could be a solid option for cold storage—media that doesn't change or need to be accessed often. And Box is useful for smaller documents, like PDF records and receipts, given its individual file size limit.
