Bangalore: Forget about your system’s low storage, cloud is the new hard drive of the decade and the internet has gone “cloudier” than ever! It’s cheap, doesn’t require any installation, physical presence, power and has backup and recovery systems, no wonder why you can store and share your personal data easier than ever.

Many companies from Dropbox to Google are offering personal cloud storage, literally free to an extent, with many interesting features and here are the best 7 places where you can store your data.

Dropbox

Apple tried to acquire Dropbox back in 2011, but Drew Houston, the founder turned down the offer and eventually proved he was right. Dropbox made cloud storage so popular. It will run natively on almost all PC’s- windows, Linux or Mac and does not need a web browser interface. So you can use it like a file manager- drag and drop.

It primarily comes with 2GB free storage but there is an interesting feature:  for every Dropbox invitation you send to a friend, both of you will get 500 MB more free space. So, 32 invites will gain you 16 GB of free space. Since it is primarily meant to store documents rather than media, this might be all what you need. If you want more space, Dropbox charges you $9.99 for 50 GB a month and $19.9 for 100 GB.
