    Essential cloud storage

    by © GETTY IMAGES Jun 17, 2018 8 minutes

    Backup

    If you have a large volume of images that you need to back up, a full computer backup solution is the most cost-effective option.

    Mobile options

    Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive can be integrated with mobile devices allowing you to access files on a phone or tablet.

    Sharing

    For sharing files across multiple computers, Dropbox and Google Drive offer simple solutions with free subscriptions.

    Reality

    Despite the term ‘cloud’, all services use data centres and physical drives to store data, and will have multiple backups for security.

    Convenience

    Whichever cloud-storage option you choose, the ultimate aim is convenience combined with the security of your important files.

    Google Drive

    • Free-£239.99 per month

    • www.google.com

    NO INTRODUCTIONS necessary here because Google is one of the biggest players in web-based services, and is the creator of the open-source Android operating system. If you're already using other Google apps such as Calendar or Google Photos, then Google Drive is a no-brainer with several packages on offer: 15GB free, 100GB £1.59 per month, 1TB £7.99 per month, 10TB £79.99 per month, 20TB £159.99 per month and 30TB £239.99 per month.

    At the free end, or with a storage limit up to 5TB, Google Drive is a great all-round option and highly cost-effective. Beyond this though, prices quickly soar as seen above, with the most expensive 30TB package costing a whopping £2,880 per year. Quite a hefty figure
