It goes without saying that the more content you create for your WithMe channel the more important it is to have somewhere that's safe and secure to store all your content. There's also nothing worse than being told you've "reached you storage limit", so being able to upgrade plans and add-on more space is also an important factor. So these are our top 5 apps for storing big and small files of all types.

Google Drive

Arguably one of the OG's of cloud storage so we had to star here. This is a great option of you're already using Google for emails etc. It's easy to use, easy to navigate, and easy to organise. On top of that it can be used 'offline' and automatic syncing can be setup so you can be rest assured that your files won't be lost.

Cost: free up to 15GB, then £10 per user/month for up to 1TB

iCloud

If you're a diehard apple fan and user then this is a seamless option since it come pre-installed so you're always ready to go and move seamlessly between your devices. Their automatic backups are reassuring when you're storing lots of weighty content. Whilst it does come pre-installed, there are still limits on this 'basic' storage. However, upgrading is simple to do to add more capacity as the number of files you want to store increases.

Cost: upgrade to iCloud+ starting from 59p for 50GB, £2.49 for 200GB, £6.99 for 2TB
