iCloud Drive
Of course, Apple also has its cloud storage service, iCloud Drive is fully integrated into its own ecosystem of iOS and macOS, functioning as if it were just another unit. When you register, an almost mandatory step if you have an Apple device, they give you 5 GB to save your files or make backup copies. These plans can be expanded, since most users use it as storage to make copies of their iPhone and iPad, but also to complete the limited storage that Macs have.

Mega
Mega is the successor of the defunct MegaUpload. It has storage in the cloud, although it is widely used to share files that we can see online. Mega plans offer more storage than the rest with the limitation of the allowed transfer, so the higher the payment in the plan, in addition to more space available, the greater amount of data for transfer we will have. The transfer limit expressed is per month even if the payment is annual.
