Online Storage
Consumers and businesses today are faced with a decision: using primarily local storage or mostly online storage. Using online storage offers many benefits local storage does not.
Online storage is the practice of storing electronic data with a third party accessed via the Internet. This method of storage is becoming increasingly popular.
The art of data storage had humble beginnings. It began on the computer itself, moved to floppy disks, then to portable USB thumb drives. Now, online storage is available. A big advantage of using online storage is portability; it is easy to lose or damage a hard drive or thumb drive. This is not possible with online storage.
Online storage is ideal for the 21st century information age. Online storage makes syncing your devices easy; you can access the same document on your smartphone as on your tablet without a hassle. Consumers can use this to share pictures with loved ones, for example. You can access your files anywhere. Additionally, if something happens to your device, you can still access the files by re-downloading them. However, if you use a USB thumb drive and it is destroyed or lost, the information is gone.
Additional benefits of online storage include:
- Cost: You can get more space at a lower cost than portable storage.
- Invisibility: Your storage won’t take up physical space in your home or office.
- Security: Your information is private and secure. Share with others via secure links.
- Automated backup: You can choose which information to be backed up online and when.
- Accessibility: You can access your data from any device—no need to carry around a USB drive.
- Syncing: You can have the same data on all your devices without struggling.
- Collaboration: You can work with your co-workers easily.
- Protection: Most online storage has two layers of protection.
- Recovery: If the data in your office or home is destroyed, you can easily access it from the internet.
You will find online storage beneficial for whatever you need, whether it is business or personal needs.
