Good morning. It’s まさきん.
I recently found out that a cloud storage service called “Rakuten Drive” is free to use if you have a Rakuten Mobile contract.
Let me take a closer look.
Up to 50GB with no extra cost
The first thing I checked was how much storage you get for free.
- Free storage: 50GB
- Eligible plans: Rakuten Saikyo Plan, Rakuten Saikyo Plan (Data Type), and Rakuten Saikyo U-NEXT
- Extra steps: None. Just download the app and log in with your Rakuten ID
If you are already on Rakuten Mobile, there is apparently no need to apply for anything separately. Being able to start just by installing the app and logging in struck me as really convenient.

Paid plans are available if 50GB is not enough
If 50GB does not cover your needs, it looks like you can switch to a paid plan.
The paid plans are 220 yen per month for 100GB, 374 yen per month for 200GB, and 1,100 yen per month for unlimited storage. There seems to be a 30-day free trial when you first sign up, but billing may start automatically once the trial ends, so it is a good idea to keep track of when your trial period finishes.
It is worth keeping in mind as an option if you want another place to back up your photos and videos.
Summary
Simply being on an eligible Rakuten Mobile plan gets you up to 50GB of free cloud storage through Rakuten Drive.
If you think of it as adding one more backup spot for your photos and videos, it seems well worth trying.
Keep in mind that the service details and pricing may change in the future. Before you use it, I recommend checking the official website for the latest information.
