Moving and storage calculator
Cloud storage sizing calculator
Small teams estimating how much shared cloud storage they actually need. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate people, per-person files, versioning, and shared projects into a storage-planning category. People, versions, and shared libraries multiply faster than a single-user plan expects.
Calculates a usable-gigabyte floor and the plan band to compare before choosing a host. The calculator does not rank pCloud, IDrive, and Sync. It produces an explainable class so pCloud Premium 500 GB, IDrive 5 TB, and Sync Pro Teams 6 TB can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Multiply people by gigabytes per person and the versioning factor, then add shared project files and round up to a common plan band. Planning notes are grounded in pCloud. This calculator does not quote a provider price or account for compressed media, photo libraries, or backup-only workloads.

Frequently asked questions
How does the cloud storage sizing calculator work?
It converts the published inputs on this page into a planning class using a published rule. Multiply people by gigabytes per person and the versioning factor, then add shared project files and round up to a common plan band. The headline is a class such as 100 gb, 1 tb, 2 tb, 5 tb, and Larger, not a vendor ranking.
Is pCloud Premium 500 GB better than IDrive 5 TB?
This page does not rank pCloud Premium 500 GB, IDrive 5 TB, and Sync Pro Teams 6 TB. pCloud Premium 500 GB and IDrive 5 TB are listed because they are real products with official pages that map to different or overlapping classes. The useful question is which class matches your inputs.
Can I treat the result as a buying recommendation?
This calculator does not quote a provider price or account for compressed media, photo libraries, or backup-only workloads. Use the class to decide what to read next, then verify fit, terms, and installation requirements on the official page and with a qualified installer when the product needs one.
Do the product links earn Decision Lantern a commission?
Not on the current preview. Links go to official manufacturer or service pages. If compensated links are added later, the disclosure on this page will say so in plain language.
What should I verify after I get a class?
Confirm the current specification, dimensions or plan limits, and any program terms on the official page. Provider definitions of “usable” capacity, version history, and shared-drive quotas can change. The next editorial review for this page is due 2026-11-14.
Why these 3 examples?
They are real moving and storage options with an affiliate program on file and an official product page. pCloud, IDrive, and Sync appear because each one can represent at least one planning class on this page, not because Decision Lantern tested or endorsed them.
