What website or service offers the largest free cloud storage?

I am a streamer on Twitch and I need a place to store my broadcasts due to them only being available for 7 days before being deleted. I need to find somewhere to store some of my footage for the time being. Two of my laptops and usb drives are at their limits. Its a lot of data so Im not expecting to store them all but to at least buy me some time until I figure things out is what Im going for. Thanks.

I made a comparison table that shows basically all of the options: https://comparisontabl.es/cloud-storage/

Mega.io and Filen.io would be my recommendations, as both are reliable options that give you 20 GB of free cloud storage, which is the most free space you can find. If you need more, I'd suggest kDrive for 15 GB, or make a(nother) Google account for a 15 GB Google Drive.

Thank you for putting this resource together. I'm looking for a personal plan to back up my home NAS. The comparison table shows Internxt offers a lifetime 2 TB plan for $199. However, I just checked their website, and their 2 TB plan is currently $599. I created an account to see if I might get their advertised "Save 69%". But the price was still $599.

[Edit] See below, you must go to StackSocial to get the heavily discounted lifetime plan.

"Lifetime" has been getting nerfed or canceled a lot lately.

I found that Mega.io has tons of Linux support, too, in case anyone is looking for that.

u/CookieDelivery Jun 06 '24

You can use that as well; 20 GB of free space, but the experience with a free account is pretty limited. They show ads on free accounts, you don't have access to a web app, and they delete free accounts (and all files stored on it) after 90 days of inactivity.

u/Wild_Client_7634 Dec 20 '24 edited Jan 05 '25

It is great what you did about comparing all of the Cloud Storage spaces, and it is very useful, however it is not entirely true what you say about TeraBox. You can have more than 20 files in the free plan. I currently have over 200 files. In the plan it is said that "Files per transfer quota: up to 20 files", but you can have more files overall. Currently I have around 850 MB of data uploaded.

Update (04/01/2025): I am very well past the 90GB, and it still works fine. Except, there are conditions when you upload through website, you can only upload up to 300 files at once. Every time you reach 300, you just have to refresh the site, then the file count starts again. If you download the pc software, you can upload almost unlimited files. I selected a folder that contained over 5800 files, and it worked fine.

u/WillyWonka83 Jan 29 '25

Awesome! Very useful! Clearly this info will change over time, hope it can be kept up-to-date. I noticed your remark about the comment section. I'll be happy to do my part and contribute to that if I encounter any changes or new storage providers.

Again, awesome job! πŸ™

1

u/AzarAbbas Feb 03 '25

This is extremely useful and thanks for creating it. Just a minor suggestion that you can add info about each service whether or not they require the user to login once every xyz amount of days before they start deleting the data.

Like for example Mega requires us to login every month IIRC before they send us emails and then finally start deleting our data. That's true for their free plan.

Just media on my phone uses 44 GB, and nobody offers that much for free... :-(

Therefore, I had to go with 3 x different free-cloud services that offer AT LEAST 10 or 20 GB each.

Filen + Degoo = 20+20GB + Koofr's 10GB == 50GB total === All my 44 GBs will be backed up & phone storage will be better. ;-)

Here's what I used:

  1. Filen.io, get 20GB instead of 10GB. (+10GB)
  2. Bonus GB's for Degoo, which offers 20GB for free.
  3. Koofr has no invitation system anymore, they give us all 10GB without any fuzz. + must use:
  4. Cloud "manager", also free: MultCloud

By using (combining) 3 of them using Multcloud, you can enjoy 50GB of storage without spending a dime. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

Multcloud "merges them all," and enables sync and complex operations between multiple cloud platforms. I strongly recommend it to manage/merge them.

1

u/ThatRandomDude1208 Oct 03 '24

Hey, I stumbled across your comment and would like to set up something similar. Could you please tell me how were you able yo combine filen, degoo and koofr? In the website I didn't see them in the option to add drives.

u/rukawaxz Dec 12 '24

I am lucky I still got a 50GB Mega account.

1

u/dshieh May 13 '25

But Multcloud's free account has a limitation of 5GB of data traffic every month. That allowance isn't sufficient for even one cloud service.

2

u/Own_War_1098 Aug 29 '24

seems the old MEGA account with 50GB free is the best options. But this only available if you have an old MEGA account

u/Whole_Incident_8347 Aug 03 '24

Because it was made by Baidu back when it was called Dubox, a Chinese company. They sold it to Flextech Inc. which is based in Singapore and rebranded to Terabox but it doesn't remove its former reputation. Whether you choose to trust it is up to you.

u/WiseDeal1547 Sep 07 '24

Honestly, what I'd do is move any and all text files, most images, browser backups, password files, anything that has sensitive info and back it up to something like G Drive, and THEN I'd back up all my other non-sensitive data such as game saves, downloaded songs, games, etc., onto Terrabox

By doing this, it'll save your ass

I know this is an older thread but I see comments on here from as recent as 1 month ago so I would like to add...

Playbook is an "artist focused" file sharing platform that has 100GB of FREE storage on their free tier, and you can apply with an art portfolio to even get 4TB free (although they never gave it to me).

It has a focus on freelance sharing with clients, but you don't have to use that if you want. However, they just have a limit on what file-types you can upload since they are trying to focus on creatives/artists (png, psd, mp4, etc), but for someone just wanting to back up photo and video memories, or a Twitch streamer backing up a few vods, this could work much better for those users. (Their Pro tier is $12/mo for 5TB btw). Only downsides I would say, is they organize folders strangely (as boards), their file-type limit, and they don't have a mobile app yet so it's web-only. but for 90% of people I think it's a crazy deal.

u/jumonjii- Nov 04 '24

Yes , there's also a service that will combine them. So let's say you have 10 Gmail accounts...you use the other service and link all your Gmail accounts to it from your account with them, and it will show your available storage as the total from all the Gmail accounts.

Iirc, it also stores your files across them rather than filling up one at a time... essentially it keeps them active that way so Google doesn't delete any of your accounts.

u/Corner_Still Jan 17 '25

If you need it only to store files, then i really recommending multiple google drive accounts.

On new account you can get a month of free trial up to 2TB, and here is the tactic:

  • You upload as much as you can during free trial, when free trial ends you cannot upload any new files, or even recieve attachements in gmail, but you still can view, download, renam, move etc. your files.

  • Store everything in one folder and share it with second account, new account can upload to the same folder ( because even tho shared folder is on first account, every file take space on the account that uploaded it. This is called the ownership of file )

So you can have one folder with multiple terabytes of read-only data. Perfect for backups or storing movies etc.

The only downsides:

  • you will need bank that allows you making new virtual cards for activating free trial on multiple accounts.

-After a 2 years iirc google will delete data from accounts that are "over storage limit" but they will remind you, so you can download stuff and reupload to new account, or just share folder as always and "transfer ownership" of files

1

u/Corner_Still Jan 17 '25

It is a little sketchy but as far as im aware of you don't break google rules with multiple accounts, and if new free trials are against rules you can make like 100 new google accounts (15gb each) and upload to share folder. But you would need to to switch accounts every 15gb of upload or use some manager that "merges" all accounts and decide where to upload

I am using YouTube. Just create a YouTube Creator (YouTube Studio) account for free. When you upload your videos, you can publish them (or not), and you can publish them privately so only you and whoever you invite can see these videos. YouTube Studio has its app for the phone, you can use it to see all those videos privately. There are rules about nudity, even my videos of my son's First bath were flagged because I tried to publish them as private videos. Now it exists as an unpublished file I can access anytime. Unpublished videos like that can't be shared directly, but if my son ever wants it, I can download and send it to him. I have stored all the videos I have taken from my phone there. I even converted my old 8mm tapes and 8mm film reels that my parents had from a long time ago (1950s and 1960s). Everything is now on YouTube.
