iCloud storage full? What it really costs to fix
Apple charges €0.99/mo for 50 GB, €2.99/mo for 200 GB, and €9.99/mo for 2 TB on iCloud+. That's fair if you live in Apple's ecosystem. If you just need space and not Apple's services, providers like pCloud, Internxt, and Icedrive sell 2 TB for less, and their lifetime plans pay for themselves in about three years.

Google Photos shares one 15 GB free pool with Gmail and Drive, so when it fills up, photo backups stop. You can clear space, upgrade to Google One (€1.99/mo for 100 GB, €9.99/mo for 2 TB), or move your library elsewhere. If you need storage rather than Google's other services, several providers give you 2 TB for the same price or less.

Is it worth it?
Straight verdicts on the providers people ask about most.
Is Google One worth it in 2026?
Google One is worth it if your photos, email, and files already live in Google's apps. The 2 TB plan is priced competitively and includes a VPN and family sharing. If you don't lean on Gmail or Google Photos, you can usually get the same storage cheaper from pCloud or Internxt, and with better privacy.
Read the verdictIs iCloud+ worth it in 2026?
iCloud+ is worth it if you're committed to Apple devices. It backs up your iPhone with no effort, and the bundled extras like Private Relay and Hide My Email add real value. At €0.99/mo for 50 GB it's cheap to start. If you only want storage, you can get 2 TB cheaper elsewhere, and iCloud is awkward on Windows or Android.

Head to head
Two providers compared side by side, with prices that update.
pCloud vs Google One: which should you pick?
Pick Google One if you live in Gmail and Google Photos. It's the smoother everyday experience and the family sharing is generous. Pick pCloud if you want a one-time lifetime price, the option of zero-knowledge encryption, and a Swiss company instead of a US one.
Read the verdictiCloud+ vs Google One: which should you choose?
Choose iCloud+ if your life runs on Apple devices. It backs up your iPhone automatically and works best on Mac and iOS. Choose Google One if you use Gmail and Google Photos, want storage that works the same on Android, Windows, and the web, or want the bigger free tier. At 2 TB they cost the same, €9.99/mo, so the choice is about ecosystem, not price.

Best cloud storage for 2 TB in 2026
If you need 2 TB and want the lowest monthly bill, the table below ranks every tracked provider with a 2 TB plan by monthly-equivalent price. For the lowest long-term cost, check the lifetime column. pCloud and Internxt sell one-time plans that beat any subscription after about three years.

For real privacy, look for zero-knowledge encryption, where the provider never holds the keys to your files. Proton Drive, Sync.com, Internxt, and MEGA do this by default. pCloud and Icedrive offer it as an option. Jurisdiction matters too, since Swiss and EU providers answer to stronger privacy law than US ones.
Read the verdictThe cheapest cloud storage in 2026
The lowest monthly prices come from value providers and annual billing. The cheapest option over the long run is almost always a lifetime plan. pCloud and Internxt sell one-time storage that pays for itself against a subscription in about three years. The table below ranks every tracked provider by real monthly-equivalent cost.
Read the verdictThe best free cloud storage in 2026
MEGA gives the most free storage of any mainstream provider, 20 GB, and keeps its end-to-end encryption on the free plan. Google One and Infomaniak kDrive follow at 15 GB, and pCloud, Icedrive, and Koofr give 10 GB. A free tier is fine for documents and a small photo library, but automatic phone backups will outgrow it within a year or two.
