I was going to make a suggestion for them to offer at least add 10 more GB for like 5 bucks like Apple but 100 GB is more than enough and we are already paying extra money for quite some time for PS Plus so we deserve this.

PlayStation Plus Cloud Save Storage expanding to 100GB in early February

You have FFXV, Outlast 2 and Dreams Beta? Then you shouldn't worry. I hade to delete Outlast 2 cloud save sadly. Now No one should worry, unless PS5 saves are over 10 GBs.
I'm surprised people hit the 10 gig cap. I play a LOT of games(maybe not the biggest ones) but I'm only at 6gb at the moment.
Yeah, I'm not complaining! :)
I just always though it was odd that one could not upgrade it in the past.
I mass-delete a few times and it is at 7gb. It should be large enough for us to not think about it
But are you willing to pay for only that? In my family I pay for all of the subscriptions (Xbox Live, PS+ and eventually Nintendo Family sub) so that my kids and I can all play online with our own profiles. But, on Xbox they all have cloud storage and can easily move between the different Xboxes and their profiles automatically are synced between them. On PS4 though, they can't do that at all and their profiles aren't backed up unless I manually do so.
Why do they even limit it? It's not that you can put any data in it, it's save files that get stored there for games you paid for and not only that, you have to even have PS+, right? Users should not have to care about it at all.
Btw, by Februray they mean the storage will be increased in less than 48 hours and not when the free PS Plus games get added next week, right?
some are small, some are really big
FFXV and KH3 is 600mb, Gravity Rush 2 i think about 200mb.
I think they mean the first week, or the week the PS+ games are out
10gb is quite easy to hit. 100gb would be hard.
Anyway great news and a good month of games. Hitman and for honour.
Mgs4 giving the goodbye salute to the ps3.

From where are you getting that we will get 100 GB on top of the already existing 10 GB instead of replacing or expanding 10 GB to 100GB? We won't have 110 GB bro. That would be extra generous.
Should be increased on Thursday 7th Feb, if the below French tweet is true.
Yes, for all practical purposes. Developers set a per-game limit on cloud save storage, but there's no per-user limit (and it can already be significantly more than 100GB if you have a large library of games). And it's free ;)
Thanks but that sucs bro. I could wait for the games but not for the storage. :(
Yeah 1GB per game but it's the duty of devs. Users don't have any limit regardless of the numbers of games they own. Sadly PS Cloud doesn't force a ceiling for cloud storage per dev and some games already exceed 1 GB.

My PS+ cloud save storage currently shows as being at 10.73 GB big and 99% full, so it's not that exact size.
Question about saves,
When you backup your saves, does the system copy the whole file everytime to the cloud? Or only the modified part of it (i am talking about 1 save file)?
For example: the save file of FFXV is almost 600mb, it takes almost 30.seconds to upload it, which is the same needed for 8 mb files (my internet is super slow).

There is no limit for Xbox One games, and you don't need Xbox Live Gold to get cloud saves. It just happens by default, automatically, for everyone, regardless of what you own or otherwise pay for.
More importantly on Xbox everyone gets unlimited. It's not just for paying Live customers. Plus your profile is always synced and up to date so you can move between systems easily. It really is super convenient and should be the standard going forward next gen.
MS does it so why can't Sony? It's such a basic part of the experience it just seems like nickle and dimming at this point. I know MS has a cloud presence Sony can't match but Sony could easily partner with Amazon and give us something similar.
So if we convert that to 100GB we may get around 7GB Extra on top of the 100 GB? That would be great if it happens.
While true, it would a times be really helpful to actually be able to manage cloud saves - no idea why they offer that, but then again, there's so much other stuff in the Xbox UI that drives me crazy...
I'm glad they increased it but I wish they'd let us use the cloud storage to autoupload Screenshots. The only way to get the original quality pngs out of the PS4 is via USB, and the (ludicrous in my opinion) alternative is to use Facebook / Twitter to upload highly compressed jpgs.
On Xbox, you don't even need Gold to auto-upload captures to either Xbox.com or OneDrive. It's quick, seamless and painless.

I don't think how this cannot be done also for PlayStation. I mean, sure, it costs money and people are willing to pay for plus but still...
Thanks folks! That's definitely an important distinction that I forgot to make.
great news!
i had a mini heart attack last nght when i uploaded my KH3 save game and was shocked to see it is 671MB!!!!! WTH Square

Some games, like Vampyr, Horizon and FFXV can go up to 500, 600, 800MB, due to them having lots of autosave slots and such.
My FFXV file, with data for Comrades, all DLC episodes and 4 different slots is close to 900MB, I think.
Are these measurements for individual save file?

These are just what the total save footprint is for each game on my system. Some of them just have the one save file and others break it up, especially stuff like Hitman or Fallout that let you have separate saves.

I prefer cloud storage as a backup method, not the only storage space so that if a save breaks/corrupts for whatever reason, I can recover from it rather easily and not have the broken save uploaded instantly. I've had that happen on Steam and it's not the way I want saves to be handled.
I doubt it, but I also don't think it's as easy to hit 10 GB on either of those platforms as it is on PS4.
