Many users currently use a cloud storage platform to save a copy of all the documents, videos and photos that they do not want or can lose, however, the space it offers is very limited. MEGA With 20 GB it is the platform that offers the most space, but it has an upload and download limitation. Next, we have Google Drive with 15 GB, space that is shared with the email account and with Google Photos, so it is not really 15 GB.

With much less free space, we have the solution OneDrive from Microsoft and iCloud from Apple with only 5GB, while Dropbox space is reduced to only 2 GB, although in both OneDrive and Dropbox we can expand the free space recommended for new users. If you are looking for a cloud storage platform that allows you to access all your files from a PC or mobile device, you will find the best option in Telegram.

Unlimited storage space

When Telegram came to the market, it did so to satisfy many of the needs that it did not cover at that time. WhatsApphence, as the years have gone by, many users have made it their go-to application.

Gone is the typical excuse that, if none of my friends use it, why am I going to use it. WhatsApp encrypts all content end to endbut, at the same time, it saves a copy of all the files we send or receive on its servers, so we can continue a conversation from any device, a function that is still not available on WhatsApp, no matter how much Mark Zuckerberg is insist on saying the opposite.

Taking into account how it works, many of us use Telegram to store our favorite content, content that is encrypted on Telegram’s servers, so no one but us can have access to it. This is very important when using a platform to store our data.

If you want to start using Telegram as a cloud storage platform and always have all the files you need at hand, all you have to do is install the application on all your devices and use the same account. Next, we must open the chat Saved messages and start uploading all the content you want to store in the Telegram cloud.

Bad points

As we have mentioned, in theory, Telegram servers allow you to store all types of content without any maximum space limit. The only limit we have is when uploading files since they cannot exceed 2 GB. If you pay for the Telegram subscription, that limit increases to 4 GB.

Telegram as a cloud storage platform

Another negative or not so good point, depending on how you look at it, is the download speed. Both the upload and download speeds of Telegram are not the same as those found on any other cloud storage platform, so it is necessary to be patient, especially when we want to upload or download files larger than 1 GB.

Worth?

Despite the upload and download speed, if the only thing we are looking for is to have limited space in the cloud, obviously the solution that Telegram offers is perfect. But, if speed when uploading and downloading files is a priority, Telegram is not the solution you are looking for. Furthermore, the process is done manually, we cannot select a folder for sync content automatically as if we can do with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox among others.
