After its new update to version 3.0, it has improved considerably and the number of users has increased. This update has improved the app's performance and fluidity, as well as its design.
But if we have to highlight something about this app that has pleasantly surprised us, it is that after the update, it has given its users 50GB of storage, which has placed it among the best file managers on the cloud.
Advantages
- 50GB free storage.
- Improved design.
- Better fluency.
- Cross platform.
Disadvantages
Perhaps one of its biggest disadvantages is that it has arrived (we are talking about 50GB of free storage) just when there are other apps like its great competitor (Dropbox), which we will talk about now, it is already very well positioned, which that makes its growth very difficult.
But even so, it is gaining a large number of users and little by little it is gaining a position.
- GOOGLE DRIVE
This is the file manager in the cloud of Google , so it is a direct bet from the creators of the most famous search engine in the world. After the last update, They have incorporated the possibility of having several accounts with the possibility of switching between them in a very simple way.
In this great server it should be noted that in its free version it already offers up to 15GB of storage. You can use it to store all kinds of files, including documents, presentations, music, photos, and videos. You can open many file types directly in your browser, including PDF files, Microsoft Office files, high-definition video, and many types of image files, even if you don't have the corresponding program installed on your computer.
Advantages
- It's the Google manager .
- Cross platform.
- Ability to view any office document .
Disadvantages
The truth is that we didn't find any disadvantages to this great manager, perhaps its only disadvantage (which shouldn't be considered as such) is that it only offers 15GB of free storage.For the rest, it is a great multiplatform manager, which Google offers us, something that says a lot about it.
- MEGA
Mega is like Megaupload , an online file storage service but, at least from the point of view of its creators, it is shielded from surprise court orders of closure and also against legal challenges for copyright violations. The biggest novelty of Mega compared to its predecessor is that the users' files, before being saved, will be encrypted under a password that only the user himself will know and to which Mega will not have access at no time
It highlights its free 50GB, something that they gave us since it appeared in the AppStore .
Advantages
- 50GB free storage.
- Encrypted data.
- It's shielded, which means it won't happen again last time.
- Very fluent.
- Auto upload photos.
Disadvantages
The main disadvantage that we find in this app is that it is only for iPhone, which means that it is not multiplatform, so we can only enjoy it on our iPhone. Another point against it is the distrust of people towards this manager, since we all remember what happened last time, which caused millions of people to lose a lot of data that they had hosted on this server.
- DROPBOX
For those who don't know, Dropbox is a free service that allows you to store your files online and access them through any device you connect to your account. It offers us 2GB of storage, which considering what its competitors offer, is really little. But in its favor we have to say that the more you use it, the more its capacity increases, they also inform you how you can increase the storage capacity.
It stands out from this app that it is very complete and that it has the advantage that almost all of us use this manager. Which makes it easier for us to share our files.
Advantages
- Cross platform.
- It has a large number of users.
- Auto upload photos.
- Fully adapted to iOS 7.
- Very fluent.
- It has a desktop version.
Disadvantages
Its main disadvantage, as we have already mentioned, is that it only has 2GB of free storage, but we can increase this capacity as we use this manager. We will also be able to buy more storage.
OUR VERDICT
For us the big winner is Dropbox , since this manager has been with us for a long time, so as with WhatsApp, it is very difficult to change a Have you ever gotten used to something? This is the best cloud storage manager, thanks to him the idea of iCloud came up .
Therefore our winner, despite its low free storage, is Dropbox, as it meets our needs very well. It also has a desktop version, which makes it even easier for us to transfer all our files to the cloud.
And these are the best cloud file managers, and for you, what are the best cloud file managers?
