The cloud storage is a storage space available to store data on remote servers which can be accessed from the cloud (or the internet). The data is managed, maintained and backed up remotely, for which the users generally pay a monthly or per consumption rate.

Cloud storage uses data centers with massive computer servers that physically store the data and make it available online to users via web. Users can remotely upload their content, store them and retrieve the data as and when required. With the introduction of cloud, now you don’t need to purchase servers, external hard drives and memory sticks to carry your data from one place to another.
