What is good about cloud storage

Recently, more and more Internet users have the opportunity to appreciate the services on which cloud storage is available. This is a unique opportunity to store your files (photos, videos, documents and others) in the "cloud", which most users consider one huge server.

But in fact, all data is stored on multiple servers, interconnected and located around the world. Thanks to this, the posted information is provided with maximum safety. Hence, it becomes clear what is cloud storage.

Cloud technologies in most cases are paid, since third-party servers are used. But this service has a huge number of advantages, among which:

• The client pays only for the amount of memory that he uses in the cloud store, not for the server itself.
• The customer does not need to purchase, maintain and maintain his own equipment intended for data storage, due to which the production costs are small.
• All technical nuances concerning the storage of posted information are conducted by the provider and do not require the participation of the client in the process.

What is attractive for cloud storage

For certain, everyone already had to use file sharing, which to this day there is a large number. There you can always upload your data, accessible to any user who finds the placed files by name, link or tag. But unlike file hosting, cloud storage provides complete confidentiality to the data. This means that posted files can be accessed only by the information owner, who uses his login and password when entering the cloud data store.

Conventional users prefer such technologies only because now there is no need to "hammer" the memory of their computer with tonal information, whether it is the music or photos accumulated for several years, a collection of films or long-standing unnecessary documents. Many of them are just a pity to delete. Do you know this? And, nevertheless, all this must be stored somewhere.

Cloud storage is designed just to free up space on the hard drive of your PC, passing all the "still unnecessary" data to the cloud. To do this, it is sufficient to have a connection to a high-speed Internet and, of course, a computer.

Also, cloud storage has an important feature: you can get back to your computer stored data from any device and at any time. That is, if your film or photo is stored in the cloud, you can get them at any time from a tablet, laptop, smartphone, etc. The main thing is to know your login and password.

At this time there are many services that provide such services. To simply understand which cloud storage to give preference to, you can follow the provided list of the most popular services. All of them have the Russian language, disk space (up to 7 GB free) and have the support of most OS: Google.Disk; Yandex. Disk; SkyDrive; Dropbox; Amazon Cloud Drive; SugarSync.
