Cloud storage is a model of data storage where the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spans multiple servers (and often locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company.
Cloud storage is so commonplace now that its name doesn't sound quite
as mystical and ethereal as it did a few years ago. That doesn't make
it any less useful, as storing your personal data online is - for the
most part - much safer than keeping it on a fragile old hard drive.
I're
prepared to accept accusations of bias here, as mine favorite cloud
storage app is Google Drive. it's baked into most Android devices,
Google is always giving extra GB's of storage space away for free, and
it's synced up with the handy Google Docs office suite.

Part of the debate is who should get credit for inventing the idea. The notion of network-based computing dates to the 1960s, but many believe the first use of “cloud computing” in its modern context occurred on August 9, 2006, when then Google CEO Eric Schmidt introduced the term to an industry conference.
