What are the common reasons to use the cloud?

The cloud is the Internet; more precisely, these are all the things that you can access remotely over the Internet. When something is in the cloud, it means that it is stored on internet servers rather than on your computer's hard drive.

Some of the main reasons to use the cloud are convenience and reliability. For example, if you have previously used a webmail service, such as Gmail or Yahoo! Mail, you've used the cloud before. All web services emails are stored on servers rather than on your computer's hard drive. This means that you can access your email from any computer with an Internet connection. It also means that you will be able to get your emails back if something happens to your computer.

Let's take a look at some of the most common reasons to use the cloud:

File storage: You can store all kinds of information in the cloud, including files and emails. This means that you can access these items from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection, not just from your personal computer. Dropbox and Google Drive are among the most popular cloud storage services.

File Sharing: The cloud makes it easy to share files with multiple people at the same time. For example, you can upload multiple photos to a cloud-based photo service like Flickr or iCloud Photos, and then quickly share them with your friends and family.

Data backup: You can also use the cloud to protect your files. Applications like Mozy and Carbonite automatically back up your data to the cloud. This way, if your computer is lost, stolen or damaged, you can still get those files back from the cloud.
