| Beethoven Member since: Apr 27, 2014 Threads: 18 Posts: 640 | Does anyone here use any of the free accounts with the various cloud storage providers? If so, which one(s) do you like? I have a Box account, but I don't like it much because they put a cap on the size of files you can upload. Boron Boron Boron rhymes with moron, moron, moron |

| chickenman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 0 Posts: 368 | What max size upload is acceptable to you, and what max free storage do you need? Some such as MediaFire cap at 20GB uploads for a 64-bit OS but only 4GB for 32-bit. But the free version is only 10GB storage so you'd have to spring for the $2.49/mo to get the 1TB storage to make sense. You may have noticed it is no longer free :-( Mega has 50 Gig free but I don't know the single upload file size limit. He's everywhere, he's everywhere...! |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Hotmail has been free for eons... but its for low bandwidth needs and it might as well be free. Grid Storage means you don't know who you are dealing with or where there servers are located. Some of the largest server farms in New Jersey get their software updates from South America. So where do those New Jersey companies really think their cloud storage is located? |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5112 | I got in with Box on a really cheap deal that is no longer available, and the price never goes up [so far]. I was wondering if I should switch to free, so this is nice input to let me know to keep paying [g]. $2 per month and I am nowhere near the limit nor having any such problems with file size.
