Default Best free cloud storage ?

I am in the process of setting up a new company and we have several documents that 3-4 people need real-time access to and to be able to make changes to etc.

Mostly word and excel docs - I want any of the 3-4 people to be able to access and make changes to the documents so that anyone else can then access the document and see those changes, make their own changes etc.

Think that's cloud storage ? Anyone recommend a good free one ?

Ro.

Dropbox? I'm sure documents can be saved there, suits me with what I store on there and can access from my phone which is password protected unlike my gallery or micro card.

dropbox yes but it has connectivity flaws and limits and can be blocked

try google drive I think that will sort out your issue and you should have no problems using it.

The reason I say that is I work in an environment when lots of files are exchanged and I have used both dropbox and drive and drive wins hands down based upon the emails I get from people saying dropbox is not accessible etc. Not had one for drive.

If you want to move some big files there are other out there that will do better but for editing and sharing drive will fit the bill.

You get a 5gb limit to start with unlike dropbox which is about allot lower but you have to do thing to get the limit up....

I hope this helps

Paul.
