Cloud computing has increased in
popularity in recent years, and is already slated as the computer storage of
the future. Although the cloud is talked about often, there are still many
questions about what the cloud actually is. Simply put, cloud computing is the storage of
data on an internet program rather than on your computer’s hard drive. When
using the cloud, you access and store all of your data and programs through an
internet provider. Some examples of companies that provide this data storage
are Apple iCloud, Google Drive, and Amazon Cloud Drive. Although you might not
realize it, many online programs that you use already store your data in the
cloud, such as web e-mail, social networking websites, and photo-sharing
websites. The biggest gripe against
cloud computing currently is the issue of being able to access your files
and/or programs without an internet connection, and also being able to trust
that your information is stored securely through your provider. As cloud
computing is fairly new, companies are still developing rules and regulations
when it comes to cloud computing and storage. For further information, check

and PC Mag.
