Cloud storage services make available to you much more “computer” memory than that built-in to your phone or even desk top computer. Thus, you will be able to keep tons of files, photos and the like without worrying about running out of memory or jamming up your device. Also, many of these services act as an automatic back-up of your precious data and even allow you to share this info with others.

You very likely are already using cloud storage services without even knowing it. For instance, Gmail comes built-in with many gigabytes of storage. Not only is your email automatically stored, but so are any documents or photos attached to those emails.
Your FaceBook account works similar to this. Not only are your posts stored, but so are the photos you post to FaceBook. While it is not unlimited in size, many people find it sufficient to back up at least their most important pictures.
One of the best free cloud storage services is with Google Drive. They give you up to 15 gigabytes of storage for free and this service is designed to easily integrate with Android devices and Google documents. For larger storage: 100 GB costs $1.99/month; 200 GB costs $2.99/month, and you can store up to two terabytes 2 TB of data for $9.99/month.
Another popular free service is Apple’s iCloud. It comes with 5 GB of free storage, but photos don’t count against this storage limit, so it is an excellent choice for photo storage. Of course, this service is tightly integrated with iPhones and other Apple devices. For larger storage: 50 GB for 99 cents/month; 200 GB for $2.99/month, and 2 TB for $9.99/month.
Then there is Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage. They give you 5 GB of free storage and of course it is very user friendly with Microsoft applications such as windows and Microsoft Office. Also, it allows you to edit your data online – without downloading it first. For larger storage: 100 GB for $1.99/month; 1 TB for $6.99/month, and a whopping 6 TB for $9.99/month.
