CloudGate. 100GB free cloud storage for everything you keep.
A cloud storage app for Android, iPhone and the web. Back up photos, videos, documents and contacts automatically, then get to them from any device you happen to be holding. Start with 100GB of free cloud storage, and move up to 250GB, 500GB or 1TB whenever you need more room.
These figures reflect real CloudGate accounts and grow a little more with every person who backs up their first file.
Everything a cloud storage app should do.
CloudGate keeps your files backed up, organised and within reach on every device you own. Every feature below is included in the free 100GB plan, with no add-ons and nothing held back for a paid tier. Whether you think of it as a cloud backup app, a file backup app or simply online file storage, the job is the same: one copy on your phone, one copy safely in your account.
Photo cloud storage
Every photo and video you take is copied to your account automatically. Photo cloud storage and video cloud storage in one place, kept at original quality rather than shrunken copies.
One-tap restore
Switching phones or need it all back? Restore your library to a new device in one action. Because your files sit in online file storage, moving between Android and iPhone is a sign-in rather than a migration.
Secure cloud storage
Files are encrypted in transit, and Vault Lock adds a passcode layer to the folders you choose. Two different risks, covered separately.
Document scanning
Scan receipts, IDs and paperwork straight into your account. Online file storage that handles documents as easily as photos, organised so you can find them later.
Multi device cloud storage
Cross platform cloud storage across Android, iOS and web from one account. Access files anywhere, on any device, without emailing anything to yourself.
File and folder sharing
Share a file or a whole folder with anyone, whether or not they use CloudGate. Full quality originals rather than the compressed copies messaging apps send.
Personal cloud storage built for peace of mind.
From automatic backup to encryption in transit, CloudGate is built to protect your files while keeping free cloud storage simple to use. Your files are only ever accessible to you, and you can permanently delete your data at any time. Secure cloud storage should not mean a complicated app, and personal cloud storage should not mean choosing between safety and convenience.
Automatic backup
Set it up once and it runs on the days you are not thinking about it. New photos, videos and documents upload in the background, which is the entire point of a cloud backup app.
Encrypted in transit
The connection between your device and CloudGate is protected while your data moves across it, and your account is yours alone.
Access files anywhere
Whether it is Android, iPhone, or a browser, your files are wherever you are. Mobile cloud storage and web access from one account, in a free storage app that works the same on every device.
3 simple steps to get started.
Create a free account, choose what to back up, and get secure access to your files from Android, iPhone or the web in minutes. There is no complicated setup wizard, just a quick sign in and CloudGate takes care of the rest. The only part that needs your attention is choosing folders, and that takes about a minute.
Create your free account
Install the app on Android or iPhone, or open the web app in a browser. Your 100GB of free storage is available immediately, with no card required and no trial to expire.
Choose what to back up
Pick photos, videos, contacts and documents, or let CloudGate handle it all. Include screenshots, downloads and messaging media so nothing is quietly left out.
Access it from anywhere
Sign in on any device and your library is there. Free up phone storage by removing local copies once the backup is confirmed, knowing the originals are safe.
Start free. Upgrade only if you need to.
Most people never leave the free plan. When a large photo library or heavy 4K video outgrows it, these are the cloud storage plans available on monthly or yearly billing. A yearly cloud storage plan generally works out the better value once you know you will keep using it, and a cloud storage monthly plan suits anyone still deciding.
More free storage. More built-in features.
If you are comparing free cloud storage apps to work out the best cloud storage for photos and documents, the free tier is the part you actually live with day to day. Most free online storage offers sit between 2GB and 15GB, which fills within months of ordinary phone use. Here is how CloudGate lines up on the features people use most.
