YOGYAKARTA - Telegram is not only an instant messaging application that can be used by its users, but can also be used as Cloud Storage.

You can take advantage of Cloud Storage in Telegram to store various kinds of files and download them when needed. This can make it easier for you to access files, while also making the storage space on your smartphone not too full.

The function of Cloud Storage in Telegram itself is almost similar to Google Drive. The difference is, users can save as many files as possible on Telegram for free.

This difference is one of the advantages of Telegram compared to other Cloud Storage providers, which only give limited capacity to free users, and are required to upgrade to a premium account if they want to get more storage space.
