Description Cloud storage is a cloud computing model that allows users to


save important data or media files on remote, third-party
servers. Users can access these servers at any time over the
internet.

Data is stored…. Your cloud data and applications are stored on individual
servers in data centers that are located all over the world. Data
center owners basically rent out storage space for businesses
and individuals to house their data. Within these centers,
everyone's data is kept private and housed within its own
dedicated space.

on your storage
