The best cloud storage apps for Android for free

Cloud for Android

We want to present you several cloud storage options or cloud computing accessible from your tablet or mobile phone. The services that we teach you always give some free storage at the beginning and then it is expandable both by payment or by other means. It is ideal to be able to upload and download files from your tablet, be able to share them without necessarily having them or simply update a shared file automatically. Here is a list of best cloud storage apps for Android, offering you a description comparative.

Cloud for Android

Dropbox for Android

dropbox

It is possibly the most popular service in Spain. They offer us 2 GB free expandable up to 18 GB if we recommend it to our friends. They will give us an additional 500 MB for each friend we sign. The application does more or less everything that Dropbox does for PC or Mac. Apart from always being able to access the files or folders you have, you can also share them by sending a download link to whoever you want by email. You can even modify the txt files from within the app.

It is also wonderful that you can set a Dropbox folder where your photos taken with the mobile and that automatically upload there. And what is even better, you can indicate when you want to update it: always using both WiFi and data rate or only with WiFi.

Another cool thing is that you can mark files as favorites to have offline access.

Lastly, you can wear a password so that in the event that you lose your tablet, no one can enter directly.

Box for Android

Box

It is the oldest cloud service and one of the most popular in the US, especially for professionals. If you access the service from your PC or Mac they give you 5 GB free, but if you download the application they give you up to 50 GB. You can modify view and modify the files. You can give your contacts access to your folders and allow them to see existing files and upload new ones. Any modification that they do in that folder will be communicated with notifications. This is great for teamwork.

The downside is that this application does not have the automatic updates or the security password.

Google Drive for Android

Google Drive

Google's storage service, Google Drive, is a great option too. They offer 5 GB free from the beginning and also offers certain integration with your Google Docs account. Google Drive will be Dropbox's fiercest competitor in the future. It offers the possibility of accessing the files and sharing them by link. In addition, the text files are editable, also by those with whom you have shared them. Open all kinds of documents and even PDF.

You can even transform some documents directly into Google Docs documents and upload them to your account.

You can access your favorite files offline. And what is more incredible of all, if you take a photo to a printed document, although honestly this service does not work as well as one would want.

The downside is that it does not have the automatic upload of photos or attachments that Dropbox does. Although there are subordinate applications that help you with that.

Ubuntu One for Android

Ubuntu One

Ubuntu One is divided into two applications:  Ubuntu One Files y Ubuntu OneMusic. Both make use of the 5 GB provided by Ubuntu One when registering. As their names indicate, one is for files and one is for music. Before we continue, it is necessary to clarify that it is not necessary to have an Ubuntu operating system on your PC for it to work but you do need an Ubuntu account to link the service to.

You can upload all kinds of files: music, video, audio, documents, etc ... and access them from your mobile or tablet. You can even choose a folder to which your mobile photos upload directly from your SD card. And you can tell him to do it directly or to do the  synchronization with periodicity that you indicate to the app, something the Dropbox app doesn't allow.

The files you have in the cloud can be shared by mail, by social networks with a link or even by Bluetooth.

The Ubuntu One Music application has a great detail in addition to letting you upload music, it has a streaming player that allows you to listen to your music over the internet.

It has a great control system for avoid uploading duplicate files They waste your space absurdly and you can choose to only sync or stream when there is a WiFi connection.

SugarSync for Android

Sugar sync

Although not as well known in Europe, Sugar Sync offers probably the best service and gives 5 GB free to whoever signs up. It allows you to do everything Dropbox does with its automatic file and photo uploads. You can access any type of file, view it and even edit it. It also offers the possibility of listening to the streaming music. And, of course, you can choose to have the synchronization happen only when you have a WiFi connection and even only when the device you are connected to the electricity grid to save battery.

It combines all the advantages of the previous systems which make it possibly the best solution.

    If you don't even know how to write, how do you want to know how to download music or whatever?

    First of all, I would like to say that you don't have to comment to get involved with another, none of us are born taught.

    And now regarding liliana's question, I use "carmen invenio" for music downloads on Android, although as a drawback it has a bit of spam associated with it, although not very annoying. I hope it works for you
