Cloud storage services can be used to share files with family and friends, keep documents synchronized across all your devices, and much more. Free cloud storage is even better!
There are many free, no-strings-attached online storage services. There are many of them. Although most offer premium options that offer more space, many of them have enough space for the majority, even if you use multiple.
Many of these providers offer additional space to refer friends and perform other tasks.
Cloud storage differs from automatic cloud back. These services are great for storing your files online and sharing them with others. However, they don’t backup your computer files on a regular basis like a backup service

Internext
Internext
What We Like
- Zero-knowledge encryption.
- Advertisements are not required
- Direct file sharing (attaches directly to the file).
- If you need more space, consider getting cheap plans.
What we don’t like
- Web app doesn’t support folder uploads.
- There is no trash folder in the event that you have to delete something.
- You can’t transfer files between folders.
The Internet offers additional 2GB of storage for free. The Internet is advertised as being more secure than other cloud storage services due to its zero-knowledge encryption. This means that you are the only person who can see your files. Your data is not accessible to anyone, including site workers and owners.
The website has very little, except for a few buttons at the top that allow you to upload files and make new folders. You can also search and share. You will receive a link when you share. This link, when clicked, immediately starts the download. It’s nice that recipients don’t have to search for a download link. You can also indicate how many times each file may be downloaded.
We don’t like the fact that files can’t be moved from one folder to another via the web app. The desktop app allows you to delete files from one folder and place them in another. However, it will force you to reupload rather than a simple move.
By installing the app, sharing files, and signing up for their newsletter, you can unlock as much as 10 GB total space.
Access to your data is possible via their website, the app for your phone, tablet, or computer.

While encryption, password-protected sharing links and WebDAV are all supported, they are not free to be used.
