cloud storage: device cap and extra-install price (2026-09-16)

Compare Cloud counts real devices and install caps for “cloud storage” in cloud storage on 2026-09-16 across Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive in USD. Focus: cloud storage. Annual is blocked until the extra-device price is written.

How Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive hide the cap

Google Drive fails if the cap is only in a FAQ. Dropbox fails if cloud storage needs a kicked device. OneDrive is the control: if its third install worked, do not excuse a silent cap.

Fails that kill compare-cloud-devices-2026-09-16-s4

• Paying Google Drive annual after one phone install
• Skipping the third device on Dropbox
• Assuming OneDrive is unlimited because the homepage said so
• Dropping cloud storage to stay under the cap

Go / no-go 2026-09-16

Annual only if the device cap and extra-device USD price are written for “cloud storage”. Otherwise compare-cloud stays monthly until cloud storage fits the included installs.
