Grab 1.54TB free cloud storage for life — but you will need to sign up to 43 services

As of August 2026, there are 43 free cloud storage providers offering a combined capacity of almost 1.54TB.

The majority of these providers are based in Europe and offer capacities ranging from a few hundred MB to a staggering 1.02 TB.

Terabox exceeds the capacity of most paid cloud storage services but has some serious restrictions (but then again, 1TB...).

Against all odds, there are more free cloud storage providers than three years ago. This is bucking a trend (free web hosting services numbers are going down) and is in spite of more intense competition from hyperscalers (including Facebook) as well as increasing operational costs (hello Ram-geddon).

Over the past five years, dozens of cloud storage companies have either given up on free cloud storage (e.g Samsung, Amazon and Ionos) or closed shop altogether (e.g. Flipdrive, Ganso).

What you may end up needing is a cloud storage management service to aggregate all your cloud storage, presenting you with a unified interface. You won’t find any free ones as bandwidth is costly, which explains why a few services listed here have bandwidth restrictions (Icedrive, for example, has a 3GB per day limit).

For this article, we’ve selected free cloud storage providers that do offer totally free unrestricted access to their services: so no trial e.g. try free for 90 days.

How much do you spend on your cloud storage provider? Either as a standalone service or part of a bundle. Be it Google, Microsoft, Apple or someone else?
