5 services to store all your photos in the cloud safely

Not too many years ago we used to have dozens of photo albums at home from our childhood days, our first vacations, or that awesome birthday party our parents threw for our 8th birthday. Things have changed a lot in this sense and although photo albums are still on a shelf at home, they have stopped growing and now the most normal thing is to have the photographs stored on a computer on our hard drive or in the cloud, being able to view them at any time, for example on television.

Precisely about cloud storage we want to talk to you today and offer you information about 5 of the most interesting services in which to store your photos safely. These types of services are becoming more and more common, and on many occasions they offer us the possibility of receiving a significant amount of storage for free.

Needless to say in these cloud warehouses we can store anything, although one of the things that all or almost all of us usually keep are photographs. This allows us, for example, to always have a backup copy of the images that we make from our smartphones or to be able to keep the images that we keep on our old computer safely safe that any day can give us a dislike.

If you want 5 of the best cloud storage services that exist today, to be able to save your favorite photos or anything you can think of, keep reading because I'm very afraid that today you are going to learn very interesting things, or at less I hope so.

Google Drive

How could it be otherwise in this list could not miss Google, which we could say that they are on all sites. Google Drive is the cloud storage service of the search giant that offers us a large number of options and also 15 GB totally free to store not only photographs, but everything we want.

In addition, an important advantage that we will find in this service for a few weeks is that it will no longer be necessary to have a Google + account to use the service. This was something that bothered many of us and that really made little sense. And it is that who understands why Google forced to have an account in a social network to access a storage service in the cloud to explain it to me.

Other advantages offered by Google Drive is the ability to read RAW files and edit photos directly from Google Chrome. The Google Drive app is available for PC and also for Android and iOS devices.

As if all this were not enough Google Photos complements Google Drive allowing us to make automatic copies of all the photos we take with our mobile device or tablet, that the application itself will order in different folders so that we always have our photographs organized and in a very accessible way.

Google Photos also offers us other interesting options such as the possibility of saving images that the application itself automatically retouches or animations and collage that it creates with photographs that are very similar.

Below we show you the links to download Google Drive on the different devices where it is available;

dropbox

One of the most classic services of this type is dropbox, which allows us to store both our photographs and any file that we need to keep safe.

Before embarking on the adventure of opening an account on this service, think carefully if you have not used Dropbox before. It was one of the first to be available and it is more than likely that you have used it on some occasion.

The storage space that it offers us for free is 20 GB And as it happens in most services of this type, you will be able to make a copy of your photographs automatically without having to be aware of anything.

One of the great qualities of Dropbox is that it has a very simple interface, it is available for most devices on the market and since most of us have already used it, recovering the password and using it again will be very simple.

OneDrive

OneDrive It is another of the most outstanding services of this type, due to the facilities it offers us when storing our photographs and especially because it has Microsoft behind it with all that it entails. Besides, his almost total integration with the new Windows 10 It is another of the great advantages and that allows us to manage our photographs from a computer in a very comfortable way.

The storage space, unlike other services, will not be a problem and although initially we will only have 5 GB of storage there are several ways to get almost unlimited space. For example, if we subscribe to Office 365 we will get unlimited storage. In addition, by acquiring licenses for other Microsoft products, we will also get the odd GB for this cloud storage service.

As if this were not enough we can also get extra storage space by paying a couple of dollars with which we will get 2 GB of storage. In addition and finally the network of networks is full of tricks to get free storage space, which we can confirm perfectly.

It goes without saying that OneDrive is available for computers, but also for mobile devices and tablets through an application that can be downloaded for free from most of the major application stores on the market.

Mega

We could say that Mega It is a cloud storage service more suitable for another type of use, which is not to store images, because for example it does not show us in a more or less comfortable way, but the service created by the always controversial Kim Dotcom does not could be missing from this list.

And it offers us a huge amount of advantages among which undoubtedly highlights the possibility of receiving 50 GB of free storage just by registering. With this we will have to save a huge amount of photographs. Also if we want more storage space there is no problem and that is that for 9,99 euros per month we can access 500 GB of space, for 19,99 euros we will have 2 TB and for 29,99 euros we can decide to have a huge amount of space in the cloud, that is to say 4 TB.

It is possibly the cloud storage service that offers us the least facilities if we compare it with the other services that we have seen in this article, but without a doubt, a gift of 50 GB in the form of storage space for life is not something that we can just let slip past our eyes.

Cloud me

Finally, we are going to echo in this article a cloud storage service in which the priority is not the number of photographs or files that we can save, but their privacy. Today in which nobody and nothing is safe, Cloud Me offers us a powerful encryption that leaves our files well out of the reach of other users.

Security and privacy we could say that it is the main characteristic of Cloud Me, and it is what makes many users tend to use this cloud storage service before many others that offer much more space to save the photographs and at a price more economical.

Cloud Me offers us initially 3 GB of storage totally free and from there we can expand it up to 15 GB benefiting from the 500 MB that will be given to us for each referral. In the event that we continue to run out of storage space, we can resort to one of the plans that it offers us, ranging from 4 euros per month that we will have to pay to enjoy 25 GB and up to 30 euros worth 500 GB storage, yes with excellent security and privacy.

Other Services

In the network of networks there are a huge number of cloud storage services, which offer us practically the same options as all the ones we have reviewed in this article, but which go more unnoticed for different reasons, for most users.

Below we show you some of them, with some of the promotions and prices that they offer us;

• Copy: It offers 15GB free plus 5 additional for each referral we get. For more space we have offers of 4,99USD for 250GB and 9,99USD for 1TB
• Box: Offers 10GB free just by registering. We can expand the available storage by hiring 100GB from € 4 per month per user
