Most Affordable Cloud Storage Options for Android

If you’re the kind of person who needs their documents on-the-go or takes a lot of pictures from your phone, mobile-friendly cloud storage is very important. But sometimes it can be expensive! So today I’m going to outline some of the more affordable cloud storage options for you Android users out there.

 

Dropbox

Dropbox is a pretty obvious choice. It’s compatible with just about anything and that includes Android devices. For free you get 2GB of storage that you ca access anywhere. If you need a bit more space than that you can get as much as 1TB for $9.99 per month. The flexibility and wide spread use of¬†Dropbox from is really what makes the service shine.

Google Drive

Another very popular option is Google Drive, the native cloud storage option for Android users. You can store up to 15GB worth of files for free to this cloud storage platform, which can be substantial or not nearly enough depending on what type of files you’re looking to store. Like Dropbox, you can pay $9.99 per month to access up to 1TB of cloud storage no matter where you choose to access your Drive account.

Amazon Cloud Drive

When you sign up for the three-month free trial, you get unlimited storage – whether you just want to store photos or if you want to be able to store any kind of digital files. At the end of the trial you’ll have to pony up though: $11.99 per year for photos ( and you get 5GB for videos and other files) or $59.99 per year for unlimited file storage of any kind. It may seem steep at first but it is unlimited cloud storage, after all.

Media Fire

With Media Fire you can get 10GB of free storage… however you’ll have to deal with a bunch of ads on your pages when you go to get your files. This doesn’t bother some people though, so it could be a good option for you. If you’d rather not deal with ads you can always upgrade for $2.49 per month and get 1TB of storage – less than half of what you have to pay per month for Google Drive or Dropbox.

Mega

Yet another option is Mega, which gives you 50GB of free storage from your Android device. If you need even more than that, don’t worry. You cam pay for up to 4TB of storage for around $34.33 per month with smaller amounts at lower price points available as well. And like with all the others, you get access to your files on pretty much any device you could want to use.

Copy.com

Copy is another service with a pretty good starter amount of free storage. Just like Drive, you get 15GB of storage for free whether you’re on your mobile device or computer. You can upgrade for more storage, whether you just need 250GB or 1TB of space. You can also choose whether you pay monthly or yearly – when you choose yearly you get a 17% or 18% discount. For 1TB of storage you can pay either $9.99 per month or $99 per year.

Sync.com

Although Sync only offers 5GB for free, the upgrades are pretty reasonable. For $49 per year you can upgrade to Business Pro which not only gives you access to 500GB of cloud storage but also some administrative tools and multiple users since it’s primarily designed for businesses. If that’s still not enough you can get 1TB for $98 per year with the same benefits of Business Pro.

ZipCloud

Finally there is ZipCloud. You can use the service for free however there is a limit to how much you can store before you need to pay for the unlimited storage option. On the bright side, the unlimited storage option is only $4.95 per month, meaning it’s just a few cents less per year compared to Amazon Cloud Drive.

Ultimately it’s up to you which cloud storage provider you go with for your Android device, but we hope that these price breakdowns have helped you make your decisions easier. Each service has it’s pros and cons!
