Best cloud storage plans in South Africa

South Africans who want to back up large amounts of data and be able to access it from anywhere where the Internet is available can sign up for one of several cloud storage services.

Tech giants Apple, Google, and Microsoft and several smaller software companies offer cloud storage plans at affordable monthly prices.

It also has the biggest free data storage of 15GB, compared with 5GB on Apple iCloud+, Microsoft OneDrive, and 2GB on Dropbox.

Glad to see someone else already posted this. When I had to weigh up the options this made by far the most sense.

Using Google One 2TB for office backups and family use. Still using my Dropbox for important documents with 5.5gb free storage allocated back in the Samsung Galaxy S4 days.

I prefer the Dropbox Android experience for easy uploading of receipts etc, compare to the Google Drive App.

Moved onto the 2TB google a while back. Billing seemed weird but otherwise, the google photos thing is pretty damn good.

Just remember 'lifetime' means lifetime of the software and/or the company that sells it, not the user's lifetime.

Some clouds can evaporate overnight.

Koofr has been around since 2011. Pcloud since 2013. So far so good.

I have recently been introduced to Box and I was very impressed, some of our USA client use it exclusively.

Yup, “lifetime” is very much relative.
