Best cloud online storage apps - The importance of SD cards and interior storage is waning in the confront of your higher possibilities for "cloud storage." For those who aren't mindful, cloud storage allows you to upload & back up your Android to an online source, saving you precious gigabytes of data on your Android device. Here is our list from the best cloud storage apps to back up your Android.
1. Copy
One on the more interesting recent features added to Copy is Chromecast support, so by simply tapping the Chromecast icon in copy, you can stream music, photos and videos from your device straight onto your TV. For most people this is now a standard feature on Android, of course, but if you don't have it yet then this is a great alternative.

2. Google Drive
It's an obvious solution for anybody with a Google account because it's so seamless and requires very little time or management from the user.
As a side note, the Google+ social network app provides a pretty excellent cloud storage service, allowing you to store an infinite amount of pictures (at less than 2048 pixels) and videos (under 15 minutes long and no more than 1080p resolution). Not too shabby.

3. Dropbox
Dropbox is fast, intuitive and free, with some unobtrusive automatic backup features perfect for those who want to take quick snaps and then view them on their desktop computer in a flash.
It's a great overall package if you can invest a little bit of time expanding the initial storage cap.

4. Box
Box is perhaps the most basic application of our list because it has no super special features: Box is there simply to upload, download and share files, although it is possible to edit and comment on files during the cloud. Box also has a widget that notifies you of any changes to shared documents.

5. SugarSync
This cloud application differs from others because it offers more payment methods, more storage space from the cloud, and it lets you invite friends to use your files for example, and is also connected to social networks.
Personally, I think this is the most intuitive online storage app I've ever tested, especially for inexperienced cloud service users. Instead of a series of folders, we are shown a clear menu with quick choices such as Photos, Shared Documents, Private Documents, etc. The app's simplicity and clarity certainly helps to better locate each file.

6. MediaFire
But all that glitters is not gold: there is obviously critical points too. First of all, you only get 12 GB to start and have to earn the rest (or you can pay $2.50 US/month for 100 GB) and although its interface is clean the menu is a bit confusing.
It has all the basic functions to download images, download and share archives etc., including people off your camera, which saves a lot of time. But another disadvantage is that the size limit for each file is 200 MB, at least from the free version. Paying more of course will earn you access to more privileges.

7. Mega
Everything you upload is encrypted and the encryption keys stay with the user, so there's no need for privacy concerns here. You can manage your Mega account, download files and even synchronize your camera directly to your account to automatically obtain a copy in the images and videos when you connect it.
For now, it is pretty basic, but it should be updated soon, and it is offering you 50 GB of genuine free cloud storage. Choice bro!
