Best Cloud Storage Services for Android in 2026
6 of the 9 cloud storage services ranked on listme.name match: they officially support Android. The order uses the same scores as the full ranking.
The ranking
- 1
Google Drive
The most complete free package here, with desktop sync, document scanning in the mobile apps and Docs, Sheets and Slides. Its storage is shared with Gmail and Photos, so a full mailbox leaves less room for files.
Best for Users who want free storage tied to Google's office apps
WindowsmacOSAndroidiOSWebFree plan, paid upgrades
- 2
Dropbox
Solid sync and sharing with version history and file recovery, but its free Basic plan holds only 2 GB. It suits shared folders across a team, and its business plans are priced per user.

- 3
Proton Drive
The strongest privacy option here, with end-to-end encryption and apps for mobile, desktop, command line and web. Its 5 GB free plan is small, and files over 5 GB need a paid plan to share.
Best for Encrypted storage for private files on every device

Microsoft OneDrive
Built into Windows, with folder backup and Microsoft 365 co-editing, and a free allowance. Files are not end-to-end encrypted by default, unlike Proton Drive or Sync.com.
Best for Windows and Microsoft 365 users who want built-in sync

Nextcloud
The only open-source service here, under AGPL, and it runs on a server you control. It asks more of you than the hosted services, because updates, backups and security fall to you unless you pay a provider.
Best for Self-hosted file sync for teams and privacy-minded users

pCloud
Covers five platforms, including Linux, with a free plan of up to 10 GB. This entry does not assess its encryption design, so check its security pages before storing sensitive files.
