So, you know how back in the day we used to store our photos, documents, music, and movies on computers, hard drives, and disks? These were the days before everything, including our grandmas, moved to the cloud, right? Oh, the nostalgia.
Cloud storage now, that’s something else. It’s like that magic bottomless purse in Harry Potter or Aladdin’s magic carpet. But instead of gold coins and magic spells, it holds our photos, files, songs and more online, available at the tip of your fingers any time, anywhere. Still can’t wrap your head around it? Well, let’s take a stab at it together.
So basically, cloud storage is a service model in which data is transmitted and stored on remote storage systems. It’s maintained, managed, backed up remotely and made available to users over a network. To break it down further, think of a warehouse full of goodies. This warehouse is owned and managed by companies like Google with their Google Drive, or Apple with iCloud. They maintain the warehouse, make sure it’s secure, upgrade it with newer technologies and all that jazz. All you gotta do is rent a portion of this warehouse to store your goodies. And boom! That’s the cloud storage in a nutshell.
What’s brilliant about this is that you can access your files anywhere, on any device, as long as you have internet. Ever had to rush to complete a project 🤔
