                 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 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 in place of their local computer. This
                 service has become immensely popular because:
                     Instead of buying storage devices, you can pay a small fee to store your files online.

                     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, OneDrive, etc.
                 Safety Measures to Be Kept in Mind While Using the Internet

                 Following are some of the important guidelines you should remember while using Internet services:
                     Never provide personal information,  such as address, phone number,  or school name or
                    location.

                    Keep your browser's privacy settings ON.
                    Use the Internet only in the presence of your elders.

                    Do not share passwords (other than your parents or teachers).

                     Never meet anyone you've met online without your parents' permission or supervision.
                    Never respond to a unknown e-mail, message, post, or text.

                     NETIQUETTES

                 Etiquettes are the rules that are expected to be followed while meeting or communicating with
                 others. In online communication, you may not be face-to-face with the person. There may be a
                 situation when the person may misunderstand your remark. In order to avoid misunderstandings,
                 a set of rules has been designed. These rules are called Netiquettes, a short form for Network
                 Etiquettes.
