The best cloud storage app for unlimited storage

Jottacloud (Windows, Mac, iOS, iPadOS, Android, Web)

Jottacloud stands out as one of those rare cloud storage services that truly means "unlimited". No sneaky caps or fine print hiding storage limits. Whether you're hoarding thousands of photos, video libraries, or just massive work files, Jottacloud handles it all without blinking. It’s like having a digital warehouse that grows as fast as your data pile.

One of the shining features is automatic photo backup on both iOS and Android devices. Snap a photo, and it quietly backs up in the background without you needing to lift a finger. Perfect for those who never remember to sync their memories before their phone gets stolen, dropped, or decides to take a nap.

Another handy perk is its robust multi-device backup, even extending to NAS systems. You can connect all your computers, external drives, and your network's storage to one neat backup hub. This means no more juggling separate accounts or manual file transfers; Jottacloud does the heavy lifting automatically.

Okay, now the tiny catch: upload speed may slow down a bit once you cross the 5TB threshold. But honestly, during my own use, that throttle was so subtle it felt more like a gentle nudge rather than a speed bump. If you’re storing that much data anyway, you probably have plenty of patience.

When I stumbled upon Jottacloud last year during my research spree, I didn’t expect to stick with one service. Yet here I am, still trusting Jottacloud with virtually everything digital in my life. It quietly hums along on my Mac, syncing new files from connected NAS drives and external hard drives without any fuss or drama. Plug in a drive, and boom - backup initiated like clockwork. No reminders, no stress.

Jottacloud also moonlights as a solid iCloud and Google Photos alternative. Your photos back up seamlessly in the background via the mobile app. Later, you can browse them on any device, organized neatly by dates or albums. It’s like your personal, private photo gallery that won’t try to sell your data to the highest bidder.

What’s more, Jottacloud is versatile enough to cover your Microsoft 365 files. You get flexibility in managing your files - store them only in Jottacloud, keep them synced between your device and the cloud, or use their cross-platform sync folder to keep everything aligned across devices. It’s a one-stop shop for multiple backup needs.

Privacy is no afterthought here either. Jottacloud encrypts your data fully during transfer and storage. Plus, being a Norwegian outfit running their own servers means they don’t hand your data over to third parties lightly. For the privacy-conscious, that’s a breath of fresh, fjord-scented air.

On the techie side, Jottacloud integrates with Zapier. This opens up a playground for automating backups in clever ways. Want new Dropbox files to automatically sync to Jottacloud? Done. Need to archive meeting recordings without lifting a finger? Easy. The integration templates get you off the ground in no time.

Jottacloud pricing is straightforward: a free tier with 5GB gets you started, and if you want the full unlimited party, it's $11.99 per month. For that price, you get peace of mind knowing your data is stored safely, backed up automatically, and available whenever you need it.
