Cloud storage vs Cloud Computing
๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ ๐
- method of storage where data is stored on remote servers
- allows users to access data from anywhere on any device
๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐
- Software is stored on remote servers and accessed by users via their browsers
- users do not need to download softwareโs on their individual devices therefore saving space

๐ Because the system can be used anywhere with an internet connection, staff will be able to access the files/folders when they are out of the office or working in regional offices.
๐Many suppliers provide mobile apps that will allow staff to access data on a range of devices.
๐ Some staff, e.g. office staff, may be able to take advantage of the system and work from home.
Impact of cloud storage device
(๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ)
