The download speed is amazing, I love it. 15 gb storage is great, well there are lot of data collection, policy, etc, but I think that is a normal thing for a free service. The ads are just right, it is not affecting my experience at all. Sometimes the app contents loading time is slow when downloading, but I guess it depends on each device and connection.
Better get this one on all of your devices before other people wake up andyou will have to pay.Been using it for 10 years plus no problems.
This app is fantastic! I can play within the app or AirPlay almost any audio &video file from within the app flawlessly. And plus, they're not stingy aboutgiving 15 GB of space for free. One of the best free cloud storagecompanies around, which is also the most underrated.
