The Ins and Outs of Cloud-Based Storage Systems
Looking for a way to bring your file organization up to date? It might be time to upgrade to a cloud solution. But what are cloud-based storage systems, and what are their benefits? Let’s take a look.
What is a cloud-based storage system?
A cloud-based storage system is a form of virtual organizing in which files and applications are stored on remote servers rather than on your computer’s hard drive. These servers are accessible via the internet so you can access them at or away from home.
How do cloud-based storage systems work?
Cloud-based storage systems work in a similar way to your on-device storage. You can save files and install applications directly to a drive, or a folder, within the cloud-based file organization system. Then, you use an interface, such as a cloud-based storage app, to access these saved assets.
Let’s take Dropbox as an example. You can access the Dropbox app to hold or manage the files you have stored, just like you would within the file system on your computer. The difference is that cloud-based files and assets are stored in a different physical location and accessible over the internet.
What are the benefits of cloud-based file storage?
Take a look at some of the advantages of cloud-based file storage:
- Access your files from anywhere in the world
- Back up your digital organizer strategy by saving file copies to the cloud
- Share files with friends and family or collaborate on documents
- Free up storage space on your devices
