An Introduction To Internet-Based Cloud Storage Solutions Cloud storage is becoming increasingly popular nowadays as people utilize a wider range of internet connected devices and look to have access to their files “on demand.” In its simplest form, cloud storage is just the storage of data on a remote server which is generally maintained by a third party. Instead of storing the data on your own computer, you save it to a remote database which is accessed by your computer via your internet connection.
My Favorite (FREE) Service – Dropbox! Dropbox is, in my view, one of the easiest synced cloud storage solutions for my needs. There are other SIMILAR services such as Sugarsync however, for some reason, I just like the way Dropbox works and its ease of use.
Why Dropbox? Once you’ve used Dropbox, you’ll be hooked. This great free service allows you to backup all your files and access the most recent versions of your files from multiple computers. You can even access them from computers without the Dropbox application installed via their online interface. Another advantage of using the service is that you can easily restore to previous versions of a file or document. Everything is very easy to use and you’ll love the fact that you can access your files from anywhere.
