Reliance Jio recently started offering free AI-Cloud storage for its prepaid and postpaid users on select plans. However, the free AI-Cloud storage capacity offered was 50GB. In case you are wondering, "Why did I receive only 50GB of free cloud storage and not 100GB?"—the answer lies in the finer details. The 100GB was part of a promotional offer, and it appears that Jio is no longer offering it.

Finer Details of 100GB Offer
Jio, in its terms and conditions, clarified by stating, "JioAICloud periodically updates its promotional offers. Last year, a 100 GB offer was available exclusively to a select group of users. Currently, free 50 GB cloud storage is being offered to all users as Welcome Offer."
This suggests that the 100GB offering was just a promotional offer, available exclusively to a select group of users. Currently, Jio is offering 50GB of cloud storage to all users as part of its Welcome Offer. The 100GB offer is no longer available to new users.

It lets you safely store your photos, videos, documents, messages and contacts while also offering AI-powered features like EasyShare, AI Photo Play, Memories, AI Scanner and more to help you live intelligently."
How Much Storage Do I Receive?

Free 50GB Available for Everyone, On Any Mobile Network
Jio claims to offer 50GB of storage to everyone and on any mobile network. However, this is primarily highlighted on banners and front pages. According to the finer details and terms and conditions, Jio mobile customers receive JioAICloud free, while non-Jio customers get a free 3-month trial of JioAICloud as a Welcome Offer. As part of this free trial, non-Jio mobile customers will get 50GB of free cloud storage and full access to AI tools. The free trial is available only once per mobile number.
Once the three-month offer ends, non-Jio users will need to either switch to the Jio network or pay to continue enjoying JioAICloud services.
At this moment, Jio is not offering storage tiers beyond 50GB and affirms users that "additional tiers will be introduced soon."
