Free Cloud Storage advice needed?

Does the likes of Microsoft or Google free accounts have file size or transfer limits?

It's annoying that some of these free sites offer 20gb but only allow 3gbs a day to be used.

How much do you need to transfer?

How big are the files?

What are the file types?

* headscratch *

Which ever free one allows the most of all file types and sizes?

All the free sites will have some kind of limit's e.g. they will allow unlimited photo uploads but you can only upload upto 5GB video in total

BAH!

Thanks

Limits are in place to stop users abusing a service that is being provided for free

However if your willing to pay then Office 365 from Microsoft is worth taking a look at, as it comes with 1TB of storage, Office suite, license for 5 or 6 users so you each get 1TB.

Mega NZ ? you get 50GB free space with unlimited uploads/downloads.

I thought Mega introduced limits on there free accounts a few years back?

Pretty sure i remember people going nuts on reddit that it's impossible to actually use the 50GB?

I have a free account and had no limit restrictions up or down. so I don't know?

1.-Mega Free - 50 GB *
What's the catch ? Bandwidth is severely limited overall (upload/download) *, on average ~ 1 GB every 6 hours. So forget about uploading/downloading files larger than 1 GB and large files in general. It will take you on average 12.5 days to upload 50 GB (4 GB per day) and another 12.5 days to download 50 GB, so plan is useful only for small files and limited traffic.

Just found the above site , you're lucky not to be restricted , maybe it only applies to new accounts?

I uploaded 20 odd GB the other day on a free account so this rule must just be in place for new accounts possibly? Then again not sure if the restrictions are lifted when you use their app maybe?

Going through the above site labcoattech is right about all the restrictions on free accounts so your lucky to have your Mega.
