What occupies more in the cloud
In the cloud you can store anything from text files that take up practically nothing, to ZIP folders full of large files of several gigabytes. Therefore, to know what can take up more space in the cloud It will help you avoid problems and always keep it with some space available.
Automatic backups
A clear example is automatic backups. Perhaps you configured the mobile to perform Backups every day, every week or manually. This is interesting so that files are not deleted, for example if we are victims of a ransomware attack or similar that can delete everything.
The problem is that these automatic backups can take up a lot. For example, if you have filled the mobile with a lot of content, making that copy could consume a lot of cloud space. It is something that you should always keep in mind.
Accumulated videos and photos
Videos and accumulated images could also occupy an important part from your Drive or Dropbox account. Especially the videos, they could occupy hundreds of megabytes or several gigabytes.
Think that a 4K video recorded with a mobile phone today takes up a lot. As soon as you have several videos and they last a long time, you can fill the cloud quickly. Control this and do not accumulate old media files that you no longer need. Clean your cloud from time to time to save space for new files.
Movies and series
Something similar happens with series and movies. High definition files can be quite large. maybe you came down Streaming platform files to have them in the cloud and be able to transfer them to other devices, for example. If you have left them forgotten in your account, you could be using up a lot of space.
In this case, the files can also occupy several gigabytes. If, for example, you have an entire season of a series downloaded, it can be quite a lot.
Old device folders
This is normal. It often happens that we buy a new mobile or a computer and decide to transfer all the folders (or at least some of the main ones) to the cloud. In this way we can download them later on the new device and we will have everything quickly without having to use hard drives.
But of course, if we leave those folders accumulated there, it is a considerable space that we are going to have occupied. It is convenient to review this and perform a cleaning from time to time so that the cloud, whatever service you use, does not fill up.
Therefore, as you can see, these are the files that may be taking up the most space in your cloud. You can always use private cloud and NAS in case you need more storage. They are a very useful alternative to third-party platforms, such as Dropbox or Drive.
