Use Telegram as Cloud Storage

While you can use YouTube and Discord for cloud storage, you shouldn't. They are not designed for this purpose and with YouTube you get a negative compression ratio. However, you can use a Telegram as cloud storage, and the company allows it. It would be clear that we do not recommend using a Telegram as a cloud service provider that you really trust.

The company attempted to build a file-sharing system on Telegram's infrastructure, but failed, in part due to slow upload speeds, low download speeds, and sometimes low file availability. It's a fun little project that you can use as a backup, but that's it.

Telegram restrictions

Significantly better than Discord

If you remember, we used Discord as cloud storage and each file was limited to 25MB, which forced us to split the files into parts and merge them back together. Telegram clearly does a better job here, with a 2GB file size limit for free users a significantly better target.

No coding experience required as you can create a private channel and upload files yourself. There is also the application UnLim for Android, which you can link to your Telegram account for this purpose, using a user interface similar to Google Drive. By doing this, you will share your login information with another company, so we recommend that you use a separate account.

Additionally, Telegram reportedly banned some accounts for doing this, but it is unclear what the circumstances were. The easiest way to avoid this is to create another account with administrative access to the private channel where you share files, so you can restore them later and continue saving from the other account.

How to use Telegram as online storage

Step 1: Create an account

First, you need a Telegram account, which must register   su phone number. The best way is to download the application in tu Android or iPhone and set up your account that way. Creating an account is free, although people can notice that ya You have created.

Step 2. Create a private channel

After installing Telegram, you need to create a channel. These steps are for mobile devices, but will be very similar on other platforms.

• Click the pencil icon at the bottom.
• In the new menu, click Create Channel.
• Name your channel whatever you want.

If you have another account, invite your other account; Otherwise, skip this step and keep it private.

At this point you are done! You can now start using Telegram as cloud storage, although again we recommend not trusting it. Additionally, if your Telegram account is compromised, your profiles are also compromised. You can upload any file up to the 2GB limit, but you must trim larger files.

If this proves a hindrance, you can also subscribe to Telegram Premium for a higher profile limit, although 2GB should be enough for normal Telegram usage.

We don't recommend it, but to use Telegram as temporary cloud storage, which you don't strictly depend on, it's fine.
