• The best cloud storage

    CHOICE | Overview - Where to store files online?

    Choosing a file storage on the network is similar to choosing a bank in real life. Having given your money to the obscure dubious Kukareku Bank, there is a chance that you will no longer see either the office that the bank rented or the money. Therefore, it is worth choosing projects with a good reputation!

    ♦ Box

    https://box.com/


    Veteran among file hosting, on the market for over 10 years. A worthy offer of ten free gigabytes is not complete without a disgusting fly in the ointment: you cannot upload a file weighing more than 250 MB.


    What is interesting Box.com? A successful marketing name and draconian file upload conditions give confidence in the solid future of this project. They won't let him bend. Files can be safely stored here without fear of an untimely demise of the service.

    ♦ media fire

    https://www.mediafire.com/
    The deal: 10GB of free cloud storage


    The average speed of uploading and downloading, in a word - a workhorse. Main course - 10 free gigabytes- works honestly. Sharing the desired file is done with one click of the mouse. There is an app for iOS And Android.
    Free version media fire allows you to upload files weighing only up to 4 GB.


    From the side of the one who shakes, not everything is so rosy. On one of the forums, they posted a magazine binder as a link to a folder media fire. I couldn't find a way to download the entire folder: the site requires Upgrade(a hint of money - switching to a premium account). You download one file at a time and curse everything in the world, struggling with frantic ad windows (the plugin makes life a little easier Adblock in the browser).

    ♦ Gavitex

    https://gavitex.com/
    The deal: 25GB of free cloud storage


    Free cloud service makes an ambiguous impression. It would seem that by logging in to the site, I successfully uploaded 15 GB of my files to the virtual storage, but firstly, the process turned out to be very slow, and secondly, the current upload status was not displayed. The user is forced to "wait for the weather by the sea" in thought, but isn't it stuck? Gavitex offers to download the application - for Windows, Mac, iOs, Android. Maybe it's different here? Alas, it is difficult to check this - the downloaded installer refused to connect to the server: "error".


    Nevertheless, 25 free gigabytes- a pretty nice thing. A serious argument from Gavitex! I was pleased with the convenient function of generating public links: by clicking on the stylized "corner" near the desired file, the menu is called Download links. Everything is clear and simple.
    I wondered what kind of open lock near the files? After pressing the lock closes and the inscription appears: protect file. Well, let's take our word for it that the file is protected.
    If children's mistakes are corrected, the main problem of the little-known Gavitex stay with the brand. Are you sure that Gavitex will exist in 2-3 years? I'm not at all sure. For storing valuable files - personal photo and video archives, documents - the service is not suitable, only as an "alternate airfield".

    ♦ pCloud

    https://www.pcloud.com/en/
    The deal: 10GB of free cloud storage


    This cloud storage service works like this: download the desktop application pCloud_Windows_3.5.6.exe(8 MB), install, run. pCloud Drive creates a virtual partition that Windows relates to Devices with removable media, i.e. recognizes it as a regular flash drive.


    The use of this inconspicuous application is so convenient that it is impossible to resist admiration. IN Windows 7 64-bit it eats from 18 to 135 MB of RAM. Can also be installed on Mac And linux, plus a mobile app for iOS / Android devices.


    Working with files is the same as in everyday use of a computer. With a high Internet speed, you can generally forget that the flash drive is not simple, but virtual. Chapter "P" now all the time Windows and, of course, does not disappear anywhere and does not require connection the next time you start your computer. You can work with him at least Total Commander, but it must be admitted that ordinary windows turn out to be more informative Windows.


    The desktop application (launched by a shortcut on the desktop) also has tabs Sync And Shares responsible for the so-called. folder synchronization and public links to your files, respectively.
    Login to the site pCloud, we will find a typical web interface: in the section Browse your folders (i.e. you can upload files here too), section Basket, in which the deleted files of the free account are stored for 24 hours. If there is not enough space in the cloud for the user, you can upgrade to a premium account.


    Rules pCloud say that if the account is not active for more than 1 year, it is closed and the files are permanently deleted.

    ♦ Syncplicity

    My Computer / Favorites / Syncplicity hubiC link lifetime is limited to a maximum 30 days.
    The speed of uploading to the file storage is quite average, in any case, there are not enough stars from the sky.
    hubiC- calm, reserved, unflappable web portal with a great offer 25 free gigabytes virtual space. Deservedly falls into the top ten best cloud data storage.

    ♦ Ulozto

    https://ulozto.net/
    The deal: unlimited space (free)


    An unusual participant in our review. At first sight, Ulozto looks like a typical commercial file sharing service. Soon you notice gratifying things: after free registration a paid account is not forcibly imposed, the upload speed is above average, the download speed is acceptable, and, finally, the most attractive thing is unlimited space for your files, including large ones (a 3-gigabyte video is uploaded without problems). This stunning "chip" that highlights Ulozto from the gray mass of exchangers, makes you pay close attention to it.
    Files can be divided into private And public. Marked as private (For me only), files will not be displayed in general search web portal.
    How secure is file storage? Ulozto? It was not possible to find exact information, but "eternal storage" is implied. My files have been on the server for six months, no threats or warnings from Ulozto does not arrive.


    Unlimited file space is a difficult and ambitious task for the company that created Ulozto. At the address in Facebook it is clear that she has Czech roots.
