(.99 cents? Wouldn't that be 1 cent? Or do you mean 99 cents, $0.99?)
Storage SPACE is one factor affecting the price. How large is the space on a server?
Storage SPEED is another. Both the speed of the server and of the connection. That includes the difference between hot storage (readily accessible) and cold storage (where retrieving at all may take some hours).
Storage RELIABILITY is another. Do they back up? Could they go bankrupt overnight, having your data destroyed? (A website that I contributed to disappeared overnight, apparently as its webhost had been cut off for not paying his electricity bill.)
Storage SECURITY is another. This is where national interests may come into play. One may trust certain governments more than others, another may disagree, and in time positions may change.
Storage COMPATIBILITY is another. Think of different protocols, proprietary or open. FTP, WebDAV, Dropbox. One of the clouds I use charges extra for a wider range of protocols.
The best suggestion may be an old one: don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Me, I have several clouds, paid and free, but I tend to use some more than others.

I forgot who mentioned the increased iCloud storage of 50gb for only .99 cents a month,
but I decided to get it instead of having to use iCloud 5gb, Google Drive 15gb, OneDrive 5gb
and a bunch of them as I was thinking to do. :>
It is also Apple to Apple so might even be more efficient, not sure, but seems better to do
things this way and not send some to Google and some to MS and all that if needed.
I only got the 64gb iPhone X and read some websites suggesting to offload pictures
and videos to the cloud, so space would not become an issue. I am also over Wi-Fi 50%
of the time so not worried about using data a little if it has too.
So thanks to who told me, I didn't even know you could increase it.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?
With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
