What is cloud storage and how does it work?
Unlike traditional forms of data storage (such as hard drives), cloud storage uses servers in off-site locations to store data, letting you access your files any time you want as long as you have a device that connects to the internet.
Why use cloud storage?
Even if you already use cloud storage for some things, you may benefit from additional privacy and use cases you might not have considered.
