Overview

• Profeco released the advisory on October 10 in the Revista del Consumidor’s Entorno Digital section as consumer guidance.
• The guide compares free storage allowances: Google Drive 15 GB, iCloud 5 GB, OneDrive 5 GB, MediaFire 10 GB, and MEGA 20 GB.
• It highlights a core benefit of cloud services: stored files can be recovered if a device is lost or stolen.
• Users are urged to evaluate storage needs because free tiers may be insufficient for large or numerous files, with paid plans recommended when necessary.
• Security and connectivity tips include strong passwords, two-step verification, privacy controls, avoiding public Wi‑Fi on unprotected devices, and using Wi‑Fi to limit mobile data consumption.
