Top 5 Free Cloud Storage Services with Best Referral Space Bonus

These days you can’t even give megabytes of memory away. In the age of the terabyte, the gigabyte is losing it’s value, but in terms of mere data storage, the GB still goes a long way. For that reason, cloud computing services that provide free storage space in the low GBs remain a terrific option for those looking to backup basic information remotely.

Best Free Cloud Based File Upload, Backup Services

The following are five cloud storage services that give you the most potential memory for free. They don’t replace the function of a paid-for unlimited or near-unlimited storage center, but for word documents and other small files it’s a service you shouldn’t go without.

1. SugarSync

Top 5 Free Cloud Storage Services with Best Referral Space BonusWhen you sign up with SugarSync, you’re instantly entitled to 5 GB worth of storage. Up to 5 GB more can be yours if you get enough friends to sign-up at 500 MB per person. Of all the possible free memory sources this one offers the most for the least amount of effort on the part of the user.

2. Dropbox

Top 5 Free Cloud Storage Services with Best Referral Space Bonus8 GB can potentially be yours as well through Dropbox, but it’s harder to earn. One of your friend invites successfully brought to membership status will net you 250 MB, with a maximum of 6 GB on top of the 2 GB automatically given to you. The one benefit of Dropbox over SugarSync is that it supports Linux in addition to Windows and Mac operating systems.

3. TeamDrive

TeamDrive is identical to Dropbox. It includes the initial storage space provided (2 GB), the rate in which signing up friends earns you more (250 MB per) and the total storage you can get for free (8 GB). However, TeamDrive does not support mobile operating systems like Dropbox.

4. Synplicity

Signing up with Syncplicity immediately earns you 2 GB of free cloud storage. Inviting friends can earn you 3 GB more. The benefit of Syncplicity is that the act of signing a friend up is worth much more; one friend equals one earned gigabyte (1GB).

5. OpenDrive

By joining OpenDrive you receive 5 GB of free cloud storage space to do with as you wish. There’s no incentive to invite friends, so 5 GB is all you get. It’s simple, which is nice. However, OpenDrive only supports Windows operating system, so if you have more than one OS, it’s smart to skip it in favour of another option.
