Jio has rolled out an enticing offer for its users, providing 100 GB of cloud storage at no cost. This new feature, introduced as part of the Jio AI Cloud Welcome offer, was first announced during the company’s 47th annual general meeting (AGM). Now, both Jio prepaid and postpaid customers can take advantage of this generous storage expansion through the JioCloud app, which is available for Android, iOS, and web users.
Previously, JioCloud offered only 5 GB of free storage, but with this update, users can access 100 GB without any added fees. However, it’s important to note that this offer may only be available temporarily, and users may have to pay a subscription fee to continue using the service in the future.

This move puts JioCloud ahead of major competitors in the cloud storage market. For instance, Google Drive offers just 15 GB of free storage, Apple iCloud provides only 5 GB, and Microsoft OneDrive offers the same 5 GB per account. For those seeking 100 GB of storage, Google charges Rs. 130 per month or Rs. 1,300 annually, while Apple’s 200 GB storage plan costs Rs. 219 per month.

JioCloud functions similarly to other popular cloud storage platforms, allowing you to store images, audio, videos, and documents. It also includes DigiLocker integration, where users can save important government-issued documents like Aadhaar and driver’s licenses. Like other cloud services, files stored on JioCloud can be shared with friends and family and accessed securely across multiple devices.
