Free Services There are a lot of choices for free cloud storage services for individuals. Why do all these services offer you free storage? Because these cloud storage services know in time you will fill up your storage and in the hopes you will want more storage, offer you a monthly plan to hook you into upgrading with monthly payments. The most popular free storage service is without a doubt, DropBox. Other popular free storage services include Google Drive, OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) , iCloud, Bitcasa, Box, and Wuala. There are even more if you google 'free cloud storage.' So which one should you choose? We recommend Google Drive, iCloud, BackBlaze and Crashplan.
