Living in the cloud
Free up your space on your devices and access your files anywhere, anytime using cloud-based software. Cloud-based storage is one of the most common uses of cloud computing. It allows you to store content and information in “the cloud”, rather than taking up space on your device (e.g., computer or phone). Most cloud-based storage services now have an application (app) that you can download onto all your relevant devices.
