Users’ need for data storage keeps growing, and with it come many new storage services, such as uCloude. This storage service offers 15TB of free storage space to any member who signs up for an account, giving users a huge storage space. uCloude also has many other useful features, such as support for creating file share links
15TB (15000 GB) is a staggering and rare amount for a storage service to offer users for free. Besides standing out for its large storage capacity, uCloude has many other nice features:
- Easy file organization and management.
- Opens and plays many file formats.
- Easy sharing, downloads without waiting.
- Supports creating self-destructing share links with password protection.
- Share files and folders with any uCloude user.
- Files are kept forever, with unlimited download bandwidth.
uCloude is easy to use, and you need an account to get 15TB of free storage space from the service.
- On the home page, click Sign up > sign up for an account with an email address.
- After that, you are taken straight to the management interface without having to activate your account.
Using uCloude is basically the same as many other storage services. If you look closely, you’ll see that uCloude’s layout, icons and menus are quite similar to Google Drive. That is an advantage uCloude offers users.

Uploading files to uCloude is unlimited (format, size), and drag and drop is supported for uploading. But before uploading, click the folder icon with the plus sign to create a folder, which makes sorting and searching easy.

When you click an uploaded folder or file, uCloude shows its information in the right pane. You can add a description and preview images or some supported formats. Each file and folder has extended functions:
When you right-click a file or folder, you get different options in the menu. The options include:
- Preview: Opens and plays this file.
- Manage people: Shares this file or folder with any uCloude user, with permissions you set (click the pen).
- Get shareable link: Creates a share link with optional self-destruct, password protection or editing.

With the Manage people option, enter the name of the other uCloude account you want to share with, then click the pen icon to add some permissions.
You can choose view-only, download allowed or edit permissions for this shared file. Shared files are managed together under Collaborate. This step is very similar to sharing files on Google Drive.

With the Get shareable link option to create a share link, you get a list of link options such as self-destructing files, password protection and editing. When you are done, click Create Link at the bottom of the interface.

Final Thoughts
uCloude provides a huge storage space with 15TB for free. The interface is very simple and somewhat similar to Google Drive. But uCloude adds file sharing and share link options that make it convenient to use. The drawback is that you can only upload up to 1GB on the free plan and 2GB on the Pro plan, and so far the upload limit is still fairly low
