Yesterday my brother Zeeshan Afzal asked me that he want to upload his files online. I told him about several websites. It was not an easy task to satisfy him. He read in University so he needs to put a back up of all data. Well if you don’t want to put your assignment but you need free space to put your own games, private videos and photos. I know you cannot pay for online storage so you need to use any free service. Yes, you are in right place to know about some awesome and trusted online storage. Although I tried all of them just to get experience, because I don’t want you guys to face any trouble. I am using skydrive for a long time. I am very satisfied with it.

Sometime I think why these services aren’t unlimited, I mean google own the youtube, gmail, blogger and many other services with unlimited space. But when it comes to google drive they give only 5GB why? I think its because we can upload them privately? Well I don’t think so that we have to buy their paid plan. I think we can make different gmail IDs for different files. It seems stupid but we can make gmail IDs like this…

Sham.pdf.files@gmail.com
Sham.doc.files@gmail.com
Sham.apk.files@gmail.com

It kinda stupid but give it a try or go buy the paid storage plan for your files. I mean if you can pay then why not use paid plan? Its not that bad! You know risk it to get a biscuit. Well let me share you some trusted and free online storage services.
