CloudMe
CloudMe · Linköping, Sweden · founded 2011
What it is
CloudMe combines cloud storage, synchronization across computers and mobile devices, and file sharing. Users can select which folders sync to each computer, including keeping personal folders off work devices. Shared project folders let members contribute documents and changes, and people without CloudMe accounts can follow published pages. Scheduled upload-only folders keep an offsite copy; regular two-way synchronization mirrors deletions and is not a backup. The mobile app supports camera roll backup, music and video streaming, file sharing, and reading PDFs, documents, and other files. WebDAV clients can access CloudMe, and Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote can open, edit, and save documents directly to it. The service also offers more than 100 API methods through SOAP and REST, plus a Java library. CloudMe says it owns and operates its data center and hardware in Sweden, within the European Union. The free plan costs nothing and includes 3 GB of storage with a 150 MB maximum file size per file. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.

The review
CloudMe is a cloud storage and synchronization service for people who need to manage folders across computers, phones, and shared projects. It is best suited to users who value selective sync, WebDAV access, or Sweden-based storage, and to teams that need managed shared files. Its free plan is useful for a small collection, but the 150 MB file cap and 3 GB quota make it a limited everyday home for larger libraries.
Overview
CloudMe brings storage, synchronization, and file sharing into one service. Folder-level sync controls let users choose what reaches each computer, including keeping personal folders off a work device. That is a practical advantage for people who use the same account across machines with different purposes.
Sync is not the same as backup: ordinary two-way synchronization mirrors deletions. Scheduled upload-only folders provide an offsite copy without that deletion behavior, making them the better choice for preserving selected files. WebShare folders can also be published to people without CloudMe accounts, and followers can receive push notifications when contents change.
Key features
- Selective sync: Choose which folders appear on each computer. This helps control what is stored on a work or shared device.
- Project sharing: Shared folders let members add documents and changes. Published pages can be followed without an account, which lowers the barrier to keeping outside collaborators informed.
- Mobile access: The app supports camera roll backup, music and video streaming, sharing, and reading documents, PDFs, and other files. It covers common mobile file tasks alongside storage.
- WebDAV and Apple iWork: WebDAV clients can connect to CloudMe, and Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote can open, edit, and save documents directly. This makes the service more flexible for users who work through those apps.
- Developer access: More than 100 stateless API methods are offered through SOAP and REST, along with a Java library. That breadth is relevant to app developers and providers building white-label services.
- Business storage: Business accounts include a central Cloud File Server, employee accounts, private space, and access to shared space. Administrator-managed accounts and EU data storage are included in business and enterprise plans.
- Swedish infrastructure: CloudMe says it owns and operates its data center and hardware in Sweden, within the European Union. That may suit users who prefer their storage infrastructure to be located there.
Pricing
CloudMe uses a freemium model. The Free Plan and Free account are both free and include 3 GB of storage with a 150 MB maximum file size. That is enough for a small set of documents and modest sharing, but the file cap can rule out larger individual files even when total space remains.
The personal paid tiers are Online Safe with 50 GB, Small vault with 200 GB, and Standard vault with 2 TB. Each has custom pricing. They offer progressively more room, but buyers need a quote to compare the cost of that capacity.
Business Standard Vault and Business Professional Vault include a central Cloud File Server, administrator-managed employee accounts, and EU data storage. Enterprise Standard, Pro, and Plus Cloud-Based File-server plans also include a cloud-based file server, managed accounts, and EU storage. All have custom pricing, so organizations will need a quote to judge which tier fits their team and budget.
CloudMe's pricing page sets a 2 GB maximum file size for plans, compared with 150 MB on the free account. Moving to a paid tier therefore raises the per-file ceiling as well as the storage quota.
Platforms
CloudMe supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, the web, and Windows, with an API for integrations. That range covers major desktop and mobile systems, while WebDAV adds a route for compatible apps.
Who it's for
CloudMe is a good fit for people who want to control which folders sync to each computer, share changing project material with account holders and visitors, or use WebDAV with Apple's iWork apps. Its scheduled upload-only folders also suit users who want a separate offsite copy of selected files.
Teams may find the central file server and managed employee accounts useful when they need shared storage with private employee space. Users who need generous free storage or regularly handle files over 150 MB should look at the paid tiers or compare alternatives before relying on the free account.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Selective folder sync gives users control over what reaches each computer.
- Pros: Scheduled upload-only folders provide an offsite copy that avoids mirroring deletions.
- Pros: WebDAV, iWork editing, mobile media tools, and an API broaden its use beyond basic file storage.
- Pros: Business plans combine managed accounts, shared space, and EU storage.
- Cons: The free account has only 3 GB and caps each file at 150 MB, limiting larger collections and transfers.
- Cons: Paid personal, business, and enterprise tiers use custom pricing, making costs harder to compare upfront.
- Cons: Standard two-way sync mirrors deletions, so users must configure upload-only folders for a separate copy.
Alternatives
Compare Cloud Storage Services if you want to review the broader category. IDrive is another freemium storage option with a 10 GB Basic plan and a 100 GB, one-user IDrive Mini plan at $0.25 a month, billed monthly. Jottacloud offers a 5 GB free plan for one user and an Unlimited plan at $12.99 a month, billed biannually. Microsoft PowerPoint may suit readers looking specifically for presentation software, with a free option that includes 5 GB of cloud storage. Yandex Disk offers 5 GB free and a 1 TB plan at $3.17 a month. Blomp offers 40 GB free and a 500 GB plan at $0.99 a month. Google Drive includes up to 15 GB with a Google Account. Internxt Drive is another freemium storage service. Koofr offers 10 GB free, seven-day deleted-file retention, and up to 10 public links.
Verdict
CloudMe is a strong choice for users who need selective synchronization, flexible sharing, WebDAV access, or managed team storage backed by EU infrastructure. Scheduled upload-only folders are its clearest practical advantage for users who want an offsite copy alongside sync. Look elsewhere if you need a roomier free allowance, a higher free file-size ceiling, or clear published prices for paid plans.
