Good data management is crucial to our everyday lives, whether it is physical documents and pictures, or virtual legal papers and irreplaceable photos. Keeping the aforementioned documents and files safe is vital, and that is where cloud storage comes into play. Cloud storage is a model of networked enterprise storage where data is stored in virtualized pools of storage, which are usually hosted by third parties but can also now be done personally and at home. Hosting companies operate large data centers, and people who require their data to be hosted usually buy or lease storage capacity from them. The safety of the files depends upon the hosting companies, but with personal storage it is slightly safer although there is always a danger of accidentally deleting the files yourself. One advantage to cloud storage is that it provides users with immediate access to a broad range of resources and applications hosted in the infrastructure of another organization from anywhere via a web browser or program. It also allows multiple users at once, making it more convenient for groups to work on or access one or more shared files.

Pros to the Cloud (Enhance)


Cloud Storage is a safe way to save files in a different location using the Internet to send them to a different storage unit. Storing documents and photos has come a long way in terms of accessibility and I think being able to protect valuable data elsewhere is an enormous improvement. It gives users the comfort of knowing their things are safe and cannot be easily lost. Third party companies generally host cloud storage servers but it is still possible to use cloud storage on your own devices at home.
