Koofr is a cloud storage service that allows easy access through web and mobile. Additionally, Koofr lets you view all your files in one place by connecting to your existing cloud accounts for Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon, OneDrive, etc. It also features a Duplicate Finder that scans and removes duplicate files.

We should all back up our hard drives every so often, but no one likes setting aside time to actually do it. With a Polar Backup plan, you can select a file, folder, or even an entire drive to back up automatically. Plus, Polar Backup isn’t a sync solution, so if you ever delete that file or drive from your computer, it won’t disappear from your cloud storage. Techradar gave Polar Backup a 4 out of 5, making it a trustworthy option to handle your precious files.
Cloud storage isn’t very useful if it’s slow. Thankfully, ThunderDrive offers a storage service that’s six times faster than Amazon, and your files can be accessed on any web or mobile browser. Topping it all off is ThunderDrive’s ultra-secure, Tier IV data centers that secure your files with 256-bit AES encryption.
Backing up entire digital libraries or hard drives takes a lot of storage space, and you can quickly eat through consumer-grade storage plans if you need to back up multiple devices. With Degoo Premium, you get high-speed transfers and a whopping 10TB of cloud storage. That’s more than Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive combined! On top of that, Degoo can replicate your files as they’re being backed up, so you’ll always have a working copy on hand in the unlikely event that one gets corrupted.
