11. Advantages of cloud storing
 Universal document access:
 That is not a problem with cloud computing, because you do
not take your documents with you.
 Instead, they stay in the cloud, and you can access them
whenever you have a computer and an Internet connection
 Documents are instantly available from wherever you are.
 Easier group collaboration:
 Sharing documents leads directly to better collaboration.
 Many users do this as it is an important advantages of cloud
computing
 multiple users can collaborate easily on documents and
projects

 Increased data reliability:
 Unlike desktop computing, in which if a hard disk crashes
and destroy all your valuable data, a computer crashing in
the cloud should not affect the storage of your data.
 If your personal computer crashes, all your data is still out
there in the cloud, still accessible
 In a world where few individual desktop PC users back up
their data on a regular basis, cloud computing is a data-safe
computing platform!

13. Disadvantages of cloud storing
 Requires a constant Internet connection:
 Cloud computing is impossible if you cannot connect to
the Internet.
 Since you use the Internet to connect to both your
applications and documents, if you do not have an
Internet connection you cannot access anything, even
your own documents.
 A dead Internet connection means no work and in areas
where Internet connections are few or inherently
unreliable, this could be a deal-breaker.

 Stored data might not be secure:
 With cloud computing, all your data is stored on the cloud.
 The questions is How secure is the cloud?
 Can unauthorised users gain access to your confidential
data?
 Stored data can be lost:
 Theoretically, data stored in the cloud is safe, replicated
across multiple machines.
 But on the off chance that your data goes missing, you have
no physical or local backup.

15. Continue…
 Does not work well with low-speed connections:
 Similarly, a low-speed Internet connection, such as that
found with dial-up services, makes cloud computing painful
at best and often impossible.
 Web-based applications require a lot of bandwidth to
download, as do large documents.
