Despite this, your data is better protected in the cloud. A crowd brings safety, and it’s usually enough to be a slightly harder target than the others. Just like in other cases, thieves and other similar perpetrators go where the fence is lowest. As long as it’s harder than average to access your data, that’s usually enough.
In the old days, you had to go to the store as soon as you ran out of storage space, and you didn’t want to delete files. This led to buying new hard drives or USB sticks (which sometimes could break from even a small bump). The technology of hard drives developed at lightning speed and it didn’t take long before the slowness of the drives started to annoy.
This is not a problem with cloud storage, because you can always buy more space at the push of a button. The technology itself is the service provider’s responsibility, so you don’t have to think about that either. If you need space, you can get more in a few seconds. When it is no longer needed, the contract can usually be changed just as easily. The price list is also right, and many services offer a free version. For example, google’s cloud service called drive offers 15 gigabytes of storage space for free.
Intuitive sharing function
If you use cloud services to store images or other media, sharing them with family and friends is easy and smooth. In almost all services, sharing files is done with a few button presses, and there are no additional costs. Some functions may require the subscription of an additional package, but at least sharing has not yet been put behind a paywall. However, this may change in the future. Shared files can be edited (in a few services), downloaded and previewed for free, which makes cloud storage a very interesting option for many users.
Summary
In this article, we explained why cloud storage is so popular and why you might also want to test using the services. It is possible to get a free account from many service providers, which gives a few gigabytes of storage space. Cloud storage is used in almost every industry and private use is also very common. Since the implementation has been made so easy and there is no need to pay (at least initially), we strongly recommend testing these services.
