Known as a free and useful video editing application, CapCut has announced that it will end its free cloud storage service as of August 5. This news has led millions of users to seek alternative storage solutions.
Nowadays, many applications offer a limited amount of free cloud storage space to their users. However, increasing costs and competitive market conditions make the sustainability of these services challenging. CapCut's decision can be interpreted as an indicator of this trend.
"To be honest, the 1 GB of free storage space was already insufficient. Still, I didn't expect it to be completely removed. I guess I'll have to consider alternatives now." - A.K.
From August 5, CapCut users will need to purchase one of the monthly subscription plans to store their projects in the cloud. The 100 GB plan will cost $2.49, and the 1000 GB plan will cost $7.49.
Plan | Storage Space | Monthly Fee |
---|---|---|
Basic Plan | 100 GB | $2.49 |
Premium Plan | 1000 GB | $7.49 |
Additionally, the collaboration limit for free users will be reduced from five to two. Users who wish to collaborate more will need to purchase CapCut's Team Layer package.
"We usually prepare joint projects with my friends. The reduction in the collaboration limit in the free plan is a big issue for us. I hope CapCut provides more flexible solutions on this." - E.D.
