- Sign In: Open the app and sign in using your Jio account credentials. If you are a new user, register with your Jio number.

The Bottom Line
JioCloud is emerging as a strong contender in the cloud storage market. With its welcome offer of free 100 GB of storage, it will compete with the likes of Google Drive and Apple iCloud. While JioCloud does have competitive features, it does not yet match the seamless ecosystem integration that services like Google Drive and iCloud provide.
For users who are heavily invested in Google’s suite of services (such as Docs, Sheets, and Photos) or Apple’s ecosystem, making the switch to JioCloud might involve some adjustments.
