Can anyone explain to me the difference between the cloud storage sites - Microsoft, Icloud, Google etc.  

Microsoft keeps popping up on my computer wanting to set up cloud storage

Apple Icloud storage charges me $0.99 a month to expand my storage (I use my photos for that)

Then Google storage charges me a per year fee and if I don’t pay keeps telling I might not get my emails if my “storage” fills up.

I would appreciate if someone could explain this all to me.  I don’t think I need 3 different cloud storage.

Thanks

Jenny, did you ever come in to talk with Bill?  Choosing the right cloud depends a lot on your personal needs. Come in on Tuesday mornings if you still need help.

I did go in to the Computer Center but I totally forgotten Bill's Name - DUH!  

I did ask the volunteers there but I guess I didn't present my question clearly because I received numerous responses and the sense I got was it dependent on my needs and usage but I only really needed to use one system. Due to my husband's medical issues I haven't had a chance to drop back by the Center again.

After much thought I decided to no longer use DropBox.  It was great when I was working and everyone had access to it (companies provided and paid for it) and knew how to use it.  Now that I'm retired, I discovered the majority of my friends and relatives either don't have access to it (and don't want to downloaded or pay for it) and/or didn't know how to use DropBox.  

As time permits, I'm trying to figure out my other options because I like to streamline my system instead of using multiple

I love to hear other people's recommendations/responses/comments on this topic.
