In common with Dropbox, you can also add to your free storage by referring friends to the service, with 500MB of extra storage provided for each referral. Like many online backup services, CloudMe offers a completely free service for up to 3GB of data storage, 1GB more than Dropbox. Just don’t expect masses in the way of bells and whistles. Still, CloudMe does work as a simple backup, sync and sharing service, and with the free 3GB of storage expandable up to 16GB if you refer your friends (in a similar manner to Dropbox), you could find some use for it as a simple place to dump some important files.

The service itself works well, and may be exactly what some users are looking for. Sweden-based CloudMe looks like a fairly standard online backup and sync service, and it’s clearly taken a lot of inspiration from the well-known Dropbox service, with similar pricing, a free option, and extra storage for referrals. ![]()
