Best Telegram bots for File storage

Storage bots use a Telegram chat as a personal drive: send a file, find it later by name or folder, download it from any device. Telegram's own Saved Messages does most of this already; the bots add folders, search, sharing links and, in one case, a web interface.

The best Telegram bot for file storage is MyDriveBot (@mycloudstoragebot): it keeps your files on its servers and adds a web dashboard for browsing and uploading from a browser, with a free tier. File Cloud (@FileBoxBot) is the simplest free option that turns a chat into a personal drive, and TG Drive (@tgdrive_bot) keeps every file accessible right in the conversation with no extra app.

How we chose

Every bot received the same set of files: a 1.5 GB video, a 20 MB PDF, a folder of 50 photos and a text note. We checked whether large files upload and download without errors, whether files can be organised in folders and found by search, whether a share link can be created, how long the bot promises to keep files and whether it states where they are stored. Several bots in this niche are near-identical clones; we kept the ones that stayed online through repeated checks.

File storage

Saved Messages first

Before installing a storage bot, try Telegram's Saved Messages: files up to 2 GB (4 GB with Premium), unlimited total volume, search by name and access from every device. A bot is worth it when you need folders, a share link for someone without Telegram, or a web view of everything you uploaded. MyDriveBot is the only bot in this rating with that web dashboard.

What a storage bot actually stores

Most bots do not copy your file anywhere: they keep a reference to the file on Telegram's servers and organise those references. That is fast and free, but it means the file lives as long as the bot does. Read the bot's description for a retention promise; if there is none, assume files can disappear and keep a copy elsewhere for anything important.

Privacy

A bot sees every file you send it and can, in principle, read it. Do not use a third-party storage bot for documents, passwords or personal photos; Saved Messages stays inside your own account. For sharing, a bot that generates links is convenient, but the link usually has no expiry and no password.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a size limit for files?

Telegram's limit applies: 2 GB per file, 4 GB with Premium. Bots inherit it because the file stays on Telegram's servers.

Can I access files from a browser?

MyDriveBot offers a web dashboard; the other bots work only inside Telegram, which itself has a web version.

How long are files kept?

As long as the bot exists and keeps its database; none of the bots in the rating guarantees a retention period, so keep backups.

Are these bots safe for private documents?

No third-party bot is; use Saved Messages or an encrypted cloud for anything sensitive.
