Cloud storage allows users to save files in storage that can be accessed via the internet. It developed as a way to store data on network drives in data centers for security and backup rather than local hard drives. There are four main types of cloud storage: personal, public, private, and hybrid. Common cloud storage websites include Google Drive, which allows online editing and collaborating on files, and Dropbox, which synchronizes and organizes files across devices.

Cloud Storage

2. is a technology that allows you to
save files in storage, and then access
those files via the Cloud.

3. First, storage is the computer's ability to save
files and other resources for later use. When you
restart a computer, the files that are still available
after the computer turns back on are saved and
read from storage. Such storage commonly
consists of a hard drive, a USB Flash drive, or
another type of drive.

4. Because local data drives can be damaged or stolen,
an idea was developed to use data drives over a
network as storage. This allows the drives to be
secured in a data center and backed up automatically.
Initially, network storage required fast local area
networks (LAN), but today we have a ubiquitous
network called the Internet.

5. The second part of Cloud Storage, the Cloud,
represents the Internet. Any service, including storage,
available over the Internet, is called Cloud service. If
you use GMAIL it is email in the Cloud, if you use an
Amazon MP3 player, that's music in the Cloud.

Cloud Storage:
Personal Cloud Storage
Public Cloud Storage
Private Cloud Storage
Hybrid Cloud Storage
