How do I get more space? Unlike most other cloud storage services, MegaCloud offers a whopping 8GB File Storage plus 8GB Backup account to free users. BUT, if that still isn’t enough, you can get up to 10GB of bonus storage space all for free when you refer friends to MegaCloud.
But 18GB is too small, can’t I have more space? Of course, MegaCloud is about you after all.

Remember, if you’re in need of a larger than mentioned storage, you can also contact us for a customized pack which suits your needs.
