After becoming one of the most-used mobile web-browsers in India and China, UC Browser has expanded into the cloud-storage business. As part of its plans, the Alibaba-owned company has announced that its in-app cloud storage service, called UC Drive, will offer 20GB of free storage to all individual users in India, which is one of the largest markets for the popular web-browser that has often been in the news, but not always for the right reasons.

In a press statement announcing the launch of the new service, Huaiyuan Yang, the Vice President of UCWeb Global Business, said that the new service will offer users a seamless experience using the least amount of data while watching videos. According to him: “In a mobile-first market like India, almost all digital activities are shifting to mobile devices — from watching movies and clicking pictures to sharing files. In a scenario like this, users are left scrambling for cloud storage and syncing options”.
