This server is typically operated by a company that manages the entire system. It ultimately removes the need for local hard drive space.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--how-does-it-work\">How does it work?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cloud storage keeps data on a remote server rather than your computer’s hard drive or onsite servers. The stored data can then be accessed through the internet for further use, such as downloading and sharing. The servers themselves are updated, repaired and managed by an outside company.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193315\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-11.jpg\" alt=\"A digital cloud.\" class=\"wp-image-36697\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193315\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-11.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193315\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-11-450x253.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193315\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-11-768x432.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cloud storage keeps your data on remote servers.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help visualize the cloud storage storage process, picture a large island. Let’s say you are on the shore and you have an overflow of coconuts. You want to store the coconuts on a place different than your own island – due to storage restrictions and the hassle of managing them. You see a different island in the distance and have a canoe take some coconuts to that island. Every time you want to use some of the coconuts from the separate island, you simply use the canoe. In this example, your land is your computer or hard drive, the canoe is the internet, and the separate island is the cloud server. Finally, the people on the distant island managing the coconuts are the cloud storage companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--the-benefits-of-moving-to-cloud-storage\">The benefits of moving to cloud storage\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the above example shows, drive space is the biggest factor driving benefits. However, there are quite a few other powerful features that come with using a cloud service. First, it reduces the need for traditional on-site storage servers, which bring with them the complication and cost of IT support. The more files you have managed remotely, the less you rely on your IT team. This in turn allows the IT team a chance to work on other important issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, it increases the access points for data and files. For example, any device with internet capability can locate the file on the cloud server. The more accessibility given to files, the more projects are completed efficiently. Finally, it’s also a backup storage in case physical on-site damage occurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193314\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-12.jpg\" alt=\"A digital cloud surrounded by icons.\" class=\"wp-image-36701\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193314\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-12.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193314\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-12-450x282.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19193314\u002Fwhat-is-cloud-storage-12-768x482.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cloud storage reduces the need for extensive IT services.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--software-systems\">Software systems\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chances are you’ve heard of systems like \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dropbox.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dropbox\u003C\u002Fa> or \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.google.com\u002Fdrive\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Drive\u003C\u002Fa>.
