Should I choose a cloud or stick with my external hard drive to store my things. Is Cloud services expensive or buying an external drive? Will my files be safe on the cloud, or not? These are some of the common questions that keep striking a user’s head when the times arrives to make a switch to cloud storage, especially the expense part. In the blog, we discuss the same.
So much has already been said and written about Cloud’s services, features, and how it functions. But for those who are still unaware of the technology here is a quick glance – Online document storage which is commonly known as a cloud storage solution is a model of computer data storage. It stores the user’s digital information in its logical pools that are accessible via an internet connection. Thus, unlike external drive storage media, a user need not to stress on keeping and constantly supervising their digital contents for damage against catastrophic events like flood, fire, or any technical glitches or viruses or malware attacks.
Cloud storage also has an expandable feature that allows users to expand the storage as and when required. Also, it has a sharing and collaboration feature which helps a user to share stored information with others whenever he wants. Plus, it gives remote access to users, which is a big advantage of having cloud because with that a user can access stored information from anywhere only having a decent internet connection.
