Cloud Storage
The internet hasn't just changed how we work, Cloud storage services now enable us to securely store
and access our important data online so that we can start working on a laptop
or desktop PC and continue on a tablet or a smartphone. This device independence means that we can
choose how, when and where we work, confident that we can access our documents
and data anytime. We can choose cloud storage services based on what we need and what
systems we currently use. The four tech giants - Google, Microsoft, Amazon and
Apple - all have their own cloud storage services for storing and backing up
your files online. And Dropbox has long been a popular solution that works just
about everywhere.
