                  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:
                  •  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.
                  Some popular service providers offering cloud storage services are Google Drive, Amazon Web
                  Services, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.

                  •  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).

                   i +  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 misunderstands your remark. In order to avoid misunderstandings,
                  a set of rules have been designed. This set of rules is known as Netiquettes. It basically stands
                  for Network Etiquettes.
                  Some common netiquettes are:

                  •  The subject of the email must be in relation to the matter of the email.
                  •  Signatures in an email should be small and simple.
                  •  Avoid sending repeated emails just for publicity of the product or service.

                  •  Avoid typing in capital letters as typing in capitals is taken as shouting at the person.
