About BackupShortlist

Independent advice and the best cloud storage and backup services, explained clearly.

Last updated 2026

What is BackupShortlist?

BackupShortlist is an independent comparison site for cloud storage and backup services. We help you make the right choice quickly by comparing on price, quality, and real-world usefulness, with direct links to the providers' official websites.

How we work

  • We pick tools based on quality and usefulness, never on who pays the highest commission.
  • We check prices and features with the providers themselves and update them regularly; prices often depend on your usage.
  • Our ratings are editorial: we look at ease of use, features, free plans, and price.
  • Our advice is general in nature and meant to point you in the right direction.

Independence and funding

BackupShortlist is free to use. Some links on the site are affiliate links: if you sign up through one of them, we may earn a small commission. That costs you nothing extra and never affects which cloud storage and backup services we recommend. Read more in our disclaimer and privacy policy.

Who is behind it?

BackupShortlist is part of the Shortlist family of comparison sites, an initiative of Orai Media, a Dutch company that builds independent comparison and advice sites. We keep the site up to date with fresher information and better comparisons on an ongoing basis.
