Flickr has free storage of photos, with some offers for even 1tb. These may be targeted.

Amazon cloud is an option too.

Also, do more invites on Dropbox. This will boost your storage.

Amazon has free storage for certain file types if you are a Prime member.



Or you can start paying for the storage you have now, that's the point of a free trial.

Be your own cloud storage, assuming that you have decent internet speeds at home.

Works great if you aren't worried about losing everything due to disaster or fire. Offsite or cloud storage does have disaster/recover benefits.

Look into Mega in New Zealand, it is great but I would keep a backup of your cloud. Encrypted shit, lots of free room, somewhat slow interface.

ETA: Had to look 50 GB free.

Cold link comparison,

15G free with Microsoft One Drive. 1TB if you subscribe to Office 365.
Unlimited photo storage and 5G for everything else with Amazon Prime.

Yep.

You will notice it syncs slower than Dropbox, but once it does sync, you're GTG.

2 bucks a month is well worth it.

Edit to add:

If music is a big part of your storage data, you might consider using Google Play Music for the music, and remove it from your cloud storage.

Play Music goes by total songs (well above what I'm likely to ever have), and it's free.
That freed up about 26gb of cloud storage, and the music is still stored in cloud, just on a separate Google site.

Mine is actually at my workplace which also has a huge data center ETA I don't use what you are recommending.

Most folks don't have the knowledge or willingness to learn this so the online cloud storage companies have a place.
