WHAT IS CLOUD
STORAGE?
Cloud storage is a way for business and
consumers to save data securely online so it can
be accessed anytime from any location and easily
shared with those who are granted permission.
Cloud storage also offers a way to back up data
to facilitate recovery.
WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
Cloud Computing is the practice of using a
network of remote servers hosted on the
internet to store, manage, and process data,
rather than a local server or a personal
computer.

2. Google Drive (15GB)
3. iCloud (5GB)
4. Drop Box (2 GB)
PURPOSES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
1. To reduce Cost: Purchasing
physical storage can be expensive.
Without the need for hardware
cloud storage is exceptionally
cheaper per GB than using external
drives.
2. Provides Ease of Accessibility:
Using the cloud for storage gives
you access to your files from
