In 2021, cloud storage solutions are a necessity for a lot of people. We keep taking more and more pictures on our phones, expandable storage support is becoming an increasingly rare feature, and there are countless cloud storage solutions to choose from.

This creates a fun debate around which cloud storage app is truly the best. I’m personally a user of Google One, but there are plenty of other people that swear by Amazon Cloud, OneDrive, and others.

Taking a look through the AC forums, here’s what a few of our members have to say on the topic:

If you’re not interested in paying for an increased Google Drive plan through Google One, and if you have Amazon Prime, then I would also recommend Amazon Photos. The unlimited photo backups there are for original quality.

I can’t remember last time connecting my phone to computer to backup anything. The convenience of just having…

Do you have a subscription to Microsoft Office 365? For $99/year, I get to load the full Office suite on up to 5 machines plus each user gets their own 1TB of storage space in the cloud.
