💭 Tired of seeing the “Storage Full” notification on your photos?

That dreaded message — “Your device is running out of storage” — popping up every time you open your phone.
Many people end up paying extra every month for iCloud or Google Photos just to keep their memories safe.

But if you’re a Rakuten Mobile user —
there’s actually a way to fix that storage problem for free.

💡 What is the “50GB Free Rakuten Drive Offer” for Rakuten Mobile subscribers?

Did you know that Rakuten Mobile’s “Saikyō Plan” (The Strongest Plan) subscribers can use 50GB of free cloud storage with Rakuten Drive?

That’s enough to store about 17,000 photos (assuming 3MB per photo).

You can also save videos and documents, and it works on iPhone, Android, and PC.

In other words, by moving your photos to the cloud,
you can free up precious space on your smartphone.

📦 50GB — that’s 10 times more free storage than iCloud!
And the best part? You can start using it right away with your Rakuten ID.

🚩 Storage Comparison (Including Android)

Android users start paying once they exceed 15GB.
Rakuten Mobile offers 3x more storage (50GB) for free!

And with today’s high-resolution cameras, file sizes are only getting bigger.
Many families now want 2TB or more to store a lifetime of photos and videos —
but iCloud and Google Drive both cap at 2TB and charge around ¥1,500 per month.

In contrast, Rakuten Mobile’s unlimited plan is just ¥1,100 per month,
making it a smart and economical choice in the long run.

Plan	iCloud	Google One (Android)	Rakuten Drive
50GB	¥150/mo	—	Free
100GB	—	¥290/mo	¥220/mo
200GB	¥450/mo	¥374/mo	—
2TB	¥1,500/mo	¥1,450/mo	—
Unlimited	—	—	¥1,100/mo
