In a nutshell, cloud computing facilitates the storing and accessing of data and programs over the Internet instead of through your computer’s hard drive.
The key benefit of cloud computing is its ability to allow you to upload and download your files to a service no matter where you are. By mobilizing the storage of information, files can be accessed from any device at any time. Even allowing for multiple people to access the same files simultaneously.
With cloud computing, files can be stored securely and backed up so that even if your computer or phone gets lost or breaks, your data will remain safely in the cloud.
Cloud computing also gives you access to networking resources on demand. Providing users with instant connectivity to anyone else using the same networking services. Essentially businesses and teams can collaborate using their own devices whilst remote working or in the office, there is no deterioration in the quality of the service.
