Answer(s):

In one word, analytics. All the files, pictures, information you store in the storage, they say, they all analyze. It's not just about seeing what files are there. They take all the information that is in the picture, where it was taken, what is written in the file, what kind of song it is. They are then sold to advertisers in large numbers. Advertisers then see this information and create targeted ads for you. They can take out your information and show you what kind of ads you can show.

It's a big business. The more data the company has, the stronger the company. That is why if you use a product for free then that company will make you the product.
