Cloud storage recommendations please

adrianrobertall — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 09:59:09 GMT

Im leaving BT , and will be joining PlusNet, however, I will lose the BT cloud. can i have thoughts on a low cost alternative to BT, i probably need just a few hundred gigabyte . A free alternative even better of course. I.m guessing plusnet offer NO cloud storage with their £24.99 package

thanks

PN don't offer any cloud storage at all.

If you subscribe to office from Microsoft you get 1TB included in that.

iDrive is pretty cheap.

Google you can get 200GB for £25 a year.

Doubt you will get much for free.

At most you could get 50 GB for free (extra steps required to unlock full amount) but nowhere near 100+ GB you said you required.

Lots of paid options available to choose from, including the ones @dvorak has mentioned. Also you might need to consider the security of your data, like what locations your data is being stored in (USA has low privacy protection).
