How Much Does Online File Storage Cost?

If you want to have access to your files no matter where you are, you should consider online file storage. But how much does it cost? Well, depending on whether you plan to use it for personal or business use, you may be surprised at the answer.

Personal

If you’re looking for basic personal file storage or a cloud storage system, you can get an account without paying anything. There are many free sites available for a casual user to store their information in a cloud to allow for easy sharing. Two such websites include Google Drive and Dropbox. Google Drive gives you 15GB of storage for free while a Dropbox basic account gives you up to 16GB.

Business

If your purpose is to use your online storage for your business, you may need more data. Google Drive allows up to 50 users to access one document at a time—and if you feel as though you don’t need more than 15GB, this website is certainly an option. However, many businesses need more data so they can store all of their information in one place. 

Thankfully, there are sites that give you more storage such as SugarSync, which allows you to have 1TB with multiple users. The price depends on the size of your business. With 1TB of storage and one to three users, you’ll pay $55 per month. The site also has custom options where you can have over 10 users, but to get a price quote you’ll have to visit the site.
