                  Cloud Storage

                  Previously we used to store data in various types of devices such as CDs, DVDs and Pen Drives.
                  Now, we can store our data on cloud storage instead of storing it on local computers. The data
                  stored on cloud storage can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Cloud storage is a service
                  where the users are able to store and manage data on a remote server. This service has become
                  immensely popular because:

                  •  The  users need  to incur the  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.
                  •  The users can access data stored in Cloud Storage from any device.

                  •  It offers enhanced security and privacy as compared to traditional storage methods.
                  Some popular service providers offering cloud storage services are Google Drive, Amazon Web
                  Services, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.
