You get 20GB of free cloud storage on an Indian server. This is an indigenous storage solution, that was launched by Niti Aayog in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and data localization initiatives. Here, you can find more details on the Onedrive Plans and Pricing, along with the features under each tier.Ī key reason to consider: Besides backup, you also get access to MS Office and collaboration tools in select plans. Now to avail the services, you just have to download the Onedrive Mobile app, which might be already present on your PC, if you happen to run Windows 10. In fact, one of the reasons to place it as the top contender is the similarity between Google Workspace and Microsoft’s solution. This is besides the various Microsoft services like Office and the collaboration options. It offers organization tools like gallery view for the stored media, photo search, automatic tags, and album creation. Nonetheless, Onedrive Cloud Storage is a strong alternative to Google Photos. Now since there is no standalone app called Onedrive Photos or anything, the solution is little-known.

You get 5GB of free space with Onedrive registration. Microsoft’s pitch for Onedrive is “Save your files and photos to OneDrive and access them from any device, anywhere”.

If you’re wondering, what you can instead of Google Photos, here, we will be looking at some of the generally trusted (for security) and relatively affordable Google Photos alternatives available in the market.

So, now you are left with the option of either buying additional storage from Google, if and when required, or else, switch to alternatives. And as such, from here on, any new photo or video that gets backed up to Google Photos will be counted towards the free 15GB storage that you get with your Google Account, or any extra storage space you’ve subscribed to. Google Photos is ending support for unlimited free storage from June 01, 2021, as per a policy change announced six months ago.
