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.

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.
