The arrival of cloud storage services has changed the way people and businesses communicate and manage their files. Today companies avoid housing large, bulky filing cabinets full of physical files in their offices, and they don’t even need high capacity on site server storage capabilities. The cloud handles all of these needs remotely.
What is the Cloud?
In a nutshell, the cloud is a system of offsite servers that individuals and businesses use to store their digital files and media. The servers are managed by a hosting company and individuals and organizations buy or rent digital space from them.
An individual may use cloud storage to store their photos and music. A business may use the cloud to store records and documents that everyone in the company needs access to.
The hosting company is responsible for the upkeep of the servers and ensuring that their users have constant access to their stored information.
