TopTenREVIEWS - Gold Award - Awarded for excellence in design, useability and feature set

Long gone are the days of manually juggling files between computers via email attachments and flash drives. The emergence of online storage services has given way to a much easier and more convenient way to access your digital content on all of your devices: cloud storage. A leader in this space is JustCloud, an easy-to use service that seamlessly integrates traditional online backup with cloud storage. You can back up local files using its desktop client and access them through your web account from any internet-connected device. JustCloud earns our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award for its robust storage capabilities in addition to widespread accessibility and, most notably, its unparalleled offering of unlimited storage.

An area where JustCloud unquestionably surpasses the competition is storage space, delivering unbeatable value-per-dollar with unlimited storage. While many online storage services we reviewed (and most in general) limit storage space, JustCloud doesn’t cap the amount of data you store; you can store as many photos, videos and text documents as you like, without the worry of ever having to upgrade to a pricier plan.
Even more appealing is the service’s flexible payment plans. You can opt for unlimited storage space with no contract for a low monthly fee that’s comparable to other top online storage services. The service also offers discounted rates for six-month, one-year and two-year contracts. The longer your contract with the service, the more you can save each month.
We should note that such plan flexibility isn’t without one minor caveat: payment is required upfront. While it’s not ideal, the savings that the contract plans can yield coupled with unlimited storage may make it well worth the initial investment required for some users.

JustCloud provides a wide range of features that make cloud storage both easy and effective. Most important are its backup options. You can set backups to occur on a specific

schedule, such as daily, weekly or monthly. Additionally, you can initiate automatic backups, meaning the service automatically saves any changes to backed-up files and new files added to any backed-up folder. This serves as a double layer of protection to ensure all your data is secure even between scheduled backups.
The online storage service also boasts useful file sharing capabilities. Whether you want to share photos with friends or a slideshow presentation with colleagues, JustCloud allows you to share files or entire folders with others. You can share your files by email, Facebook or Twitter, or you can create custom, private links for specific files to send to recipients.
Beyond backing up and sharing files, JustCloud offers an array of convenience features, many of which are lacking in the other services we reviewed. For instance, file versioning allows you to restore previous versions of your files in the event you accidentally delete the latest version, and the service keeps a detailed history of all your actions. The online storage service also doesn’t limit the size of files you can upload, and it has a convenient file preview so you can see exactly what a file is before downloading it.

File security should always be a top priority when utilizing cloud storage, and JustCloud is one online storage service that is as secure as it is robust. All data transfers are encrypted

using SSL encryption, and logging into your account requires a valid username and password. JustCloud also has security measures in place when it comes to file sharing, including the ability to set file permissions. These allow you to determine what recipients can actually do with the files you share, whether you allow them to simply view the files or the give them ability to edit documents. You can also set expiration dates on any custom links you create.
