Cloud Storage: What is it?

Put simply, cloud storage is remote server that consumers store data on. Local storage can be limited by the device you are using, think about your smart phone. If you are taking a lot of photos with your phone, chances are you have experienced low storage. You may have also experienced low storage on your own computer, if you have a lot of large files. A solution to this problem is to use a cloud storage provider to remotely store your files, freeing up local space. Another reason to use a cloud storage provider is to have redundant storage of important files.
