In medieval times, major documents were stored as hard copies. Images and videos were majorly stored in burning CDs and hard drives. This has become very difficult to keep up with considering the shortcomings of these old ways and how much technology has advanced.
Nowadays, you don’t have to risk important data by merely storing them on your phone or hard drive. This is because they are vulnerable to phone viruses and damage thereby making them unrecoverable. Hence, if you have got very important data, it is ideal for you to back them up on cloud storage.
Cloud storage is a service model in which data and information such as documents and media are transmitted and stored on remote servers and storage systems that can be accessed over the internet connection. Cloud storage typically provides a resource system where data is maintained, managed, backed up and made available to users over a network.
With cloud storage, users and businesses can store, access, and maintain their data from any location that offers an Internet connection, rather than confining their files to a single location or device.
So, why waste valuable storage space on your PC or phone when you can store your documents and media in the cloud? These services provide seamless access to all your important data in various formats. Thus, you can store your word docs, PDFs, spreadsheets, photos, and any other digital asset from wherever you are. You no longer need to be sitting at your work PC to see your work files.
