pCloud

© pCloud

10 GB of free online storage is offered by pCloud, with friend referrals and other bonus
steps jumping it to a possible 20 GB.

A desktop client can be installed for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. There's also a
mobile app that's very intuitive and easy to use.

pCloud supports adding files from a remote URL in addition to single file and whole folder
uploads through a browser. The mobile apps can upload photos and videos directly to your
pCloud account.

Both files and folders can both be shared with non-users. Shared folders can even be downloaded
as a ZIP archive.

Also, pCloud allows upload links to be generated for folders so anyone can send files to your
account. A unique email address is also generated which lets you (or anyone) email files directly
to a folder on your pCloud account.

In addition to the above, you can backup the photos from your social media accounts like
Facebook, Instagram, and Picasa.

FlipDrive

© FlipDrive.com

New FlipDrive users get 10 GB of initial storage with an opportunity for more for each friend
they can refer to start using FlipDrive.

There is a mobile app — for iOS, Android, Windows & Windows Phone — that can be used for
uploading files to FlipDrive, but the website works, too. If you use the web version, you can
upload whole folders using the website, which is nice.

You can share files with anyone, even if they don't have a FlipDrive account. However,
accessing shared folders requires a registered FlipDrive account. Recipients can be given write,
edit, delete, and share permissions in addition to read rights for folders.

You can create up to 10 shared links and upload files that are as large as 25 MB. 

The FlipDrive website isn't the easiest to use when compared to most other cloud storage
services, which is a bummer, but it still manages to function if you can work through it.

Google Drive

© Google

Google Drive is the cloud storage service offered by Google. Each new user gets 15 GB of free
space.

The total storage is actually shared with other Google services, like Gmail and Google+ Photos.
If you don't use the other services, you can utilize almost all the space for Google Drive alone.

A sync client can be installed for desktop users, which supports folder and file uploads. There's
also a mobile app that can send photos and videos to Google Drive.

Folders and files can be shared with specific Google users via their email address or anyone with
a public link. You can also make a file view-only, which prevents someone from downloading it.

Google Drive makes it really simple to collaborate with others by allowing comments and letting
files be opened and accessed my more than one person at a time.

OneDrive

OneDrive (formerly called SkyDrive) is an online storage service from Microsoft. Everyone gets
5 GB of free space when they sign up.

Extra hosting can be awarded if you follow certain instructions, like friend referrals and mobile
photo syncing.

A desktop program can be installed to easily transfer folders and files of any type to OneDrive,
making them accessible from a mobile device. The mobile app for Android, iOS, and Windows
Phone can also upload files — both images and videos.

OneDrive supports sharing both folders and files with non-registered users. A permission can be
set to only allow viewing or to allow full editing.

HiDrive

Get 5 GB of free online storage space with HiDrive. If you refer friends to join, you can increase
your storage up to 10 GB.

If you're a Windows or Mac user, you can connect to your account over WebDAV, which makes
it really simple to drag and drop new files to your account.

An app is available for iOS and Android users, which supports mobile photo and video uploads.

When sharing files, you're required to set the URL to expire after a certain number of days and
also set a maximum number of allowed downloads before the link becomes invalid.

You can also share folders, and recipients, even non-users, can download all the files at once in
an archive.

Yandex is a Russian company known mainly for its popular Yandex Search and Yandex Email
services, but they also have others, like 10 GB of free cloud storage for anyone who creates an
account.

There are plenty of useful features with Yandex.Disk, such as public and private folder and file
sharing, the ability to import photos via social networks, bulk downloads, automatic mobile
uploads, and support for drag and drop.

and a mobile app is available for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. There's even a
Yandex.Disk app for LG smart TVs.

Sync

© Sync.com Inc.

5 GB can of free cloud storage can be had when you sign up for Sync.

Like some of the other services listed on this page, Sync can upload multiple files at once
through both the website interface as well as the mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop apps.

You can build shared folders that other users can interact with as well as share any folder or file
with anyone, regardless if they're a Sync user.

Vault is a folder in Sync that you can put files into so that they aren't synced across your other
devices. This is useful if you just want to archive some files online but don't need them
elsewhere.

See Sync's features page for a list of its features and some comparisons between the free and pro
versions.

record your screen for 30 seconds.

myDrive
© Softronics 

myDrive is another online storage service but it offers much less space than the majority of the
others in this list. There is no limit to how large uploads can be, but you can only store up to 100
MB on myDrive, which makes the maximum file size 100 MB as well.

A desktop app is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac computers, and an Android and iOS
app for mobile devices. Plus, you can connect to your account through WebDAV.

myDrive is very limited compared to similar websites, such as the fact that file sharing is
allowed only if you give out a "guest" username and password, and you only get one.

Though I do like that you can download multiple files in an archive and restore deleted files up
to a month after removing them from your account.

360 Security Cloud

© 360.CN

360 Security Cloud is a Chinese service that offers a huge 360 GB of storage when you first sign
up. If you download the desktop client, you instantly get upgraded to over 10 TB of storage!

Files and folders can be added to your account through either the website or the desktop program
that's available for Windows and Mac.

You can share both files and folders with anyone through a public link, which doesn't require
them to have a 360 Security Cloud account.

Android and iOS mobile apps can be installed to access 360 Security Cloud, share files and
folders, and upload photos and videos.

There's a "daily draw" link available from the website that, when clicked, gives you extra storage
space. The amount changes every day and you can only enter once per day.

Sign Up for 360 Security Cloud


The 360 Security Cloud mobile app, website, and desktop program is only available in Chinese.
Though it can be nearly impossible to understand what you're doing through the applications
(given you don't read Chinese), uploading and sharing your files is a bit easier if you use
an English translation of the 360 Security Cloud website.

former allows folder uploads. A mobile app is also available for uploading videos and photos
from Android and iOS devices.

Tencent Cloud

Tencent 

Another website that gives out quite a bit of online space is Tencent Cloud at Weiyun.com.
However, while there is 10 GB of free storage up for grabs, the website and app are not in
English, making it pretty difficult to use them.

With that being said, if you're out of options and need these 10 gigabytes, the upload and
download buttons are easy enough to understand since they're just pictures.

You can check how much space you have available from this page, and you can download the
program for Tencent Cloud here.

To get logged in to Tencent Cloud, you can download the WeChat app on your phone (it's in
English) and use the Discover > Scan option to scan the QR code on Weiyun.com, which will
get you in and let you use the cloud storage features (use the QR code from the right tab).
