Cloud Storage
Previously we store data in various types of devices such as CDs, DVDs and Pen Drives. Now,
we can store our data on the cloud storage instead of storing on the local computers. The data
stored on cloud storage can be accessible from anywhere in the world. A cloud storage is a
service where the users are able to store and manage data on remote server in place of their local
computer. This service has become immensely popular because:
The users need to incur cost of storage devices. They can access storage on remote servers
by paying a nominal fee only.
The users can access their data from anywhere by logging in to their cloud storage account.
The users can also access software and application for limited use which are very expensive
to purchase.
Some popular service providers offering cloud storage services are Google Drive, Amazon Web
Services, Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc.

a set of rules have been designed. This set of rules is known as Netiquettes. It basically stands
