I Found 150GB of Free Cloud Storage by Stacking Services
March 2026 · 5 min read · No sketchy services
Most people pay $3-10/month for iCloud or Google One. You don't have to. By combining free tiers across several reliable services, you can get 150GB of cloud storage for zero dollars. Here's exactly how.
Stack these services: Google Drive (15GB) + OneDrive (5GB) + Mega (20GB) + pCloud (10GB) + Proton Drive (5GB) + Filen (10GB) + Blomp (20GB) = 85GB of reliably free storage from trusted providers. Add Internxt (10GB) for 95GB total.

Why Not TeraBox (1TB Free)?
TeraBox gives you 1TB free but it's owned by a Chinese company (Flextech Inc., subsidiary of Baidu). Their privacy policy allows sharing data with "affiliated companies" with no clear definition. I wouldn't store personal files there. OK for public-facing large files with no sensitivity.
How to Use This Stack
The key is using different services for different file types, not trying to sync everything everywhere:
- Google Drive (15GB): Documents, Google Workspace files, anything you need to share and collaborate on. Already have this if you have Gmail.
- OneDrive (5GB): Windows backups, Office documents. Built into Windows — no extra setup.
- Mega (20GB): Large files you want to share via link. Good free sharing links, no login required for recipients.
- Proton Drive (5GB): Sensitive documents (tax returns, contracts, IDs). End-to-end encrypted. Same account as Proton Mail if you use it.
- Filen (10GB): Private backups with zero-knowledge encryption. Set it and forget it.
- Blomp (20GB): Large media files — photos, videos you don't need to access often. Good for archival.
- pCloud (10GB): Cross-platform sync. Works on all OS. Good for files you access frequently across devices.
Set Up Automatic Sync (Free)
For automated backup to multiple services, use rclone — open source, free, supports all of these:
rclone copy ~/Documents remote:backup/documents
rclone copy ~/important-files proton:sensitive/
Once configured (one-time setup per service), you can run this automatically via cron or Task Scheduler.
The Actually Unlimited Option
For truly unlimited free storage: Backblaze B2 gives you 10GB free and charges only $6/TB/month after that (compare to Google One's $10/month for 200GB). For personal use where you're mostly reading (not writing) data, the costs are negligible.
Combined with rclone, Backblaze B2 is the best option if you need more than 85GB and don't mind a tiny monthly bill for overage.
Sign up for Google Drive, Mega, pCloud, Proton Drive, and Filen this afternoon. That's 60GB of genuinely reliable, free storage with zero monthly cost. Add Blomp for 80GB. Use TeraBox only for non-sensitive large files where privacy doesn't matter.
