Cloud computing is one of the newest technologies that can make your life easier and your business run smoother. What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is a Web-based program, which allows you to save and access files over the Internet from any location with Internet access. Instead of saving your information to an individual computer, you can now save your information online via a server and access it by logging into the given supported cloud program. Gone are the days of rushing back home because you forgot your laptop. Now, you can retrieve documents and imperative information on the go, and you can work from any computer. Having only one file on one computer in one location is a thing of the past. The technology era has swept us once again and has provided us with easy, quick and reliable programs through which we can access and save information.
Are you working in an office setting without a portable computer? That’s okay! Now you can just use the computer in the conference room, and you will still be able to access your PowerPoint. Are you a college student? Now you can save papers and projects on your cloud drive and access it in your local school library instead of lugging your heavy laptop across campus. Essentially everyone can benefit from cloud computing.
Your life has been made easier. Programs such as Dropbox, OpenStack and Google Docs will provide you with the ability to access your documents over the Internet. While there is a plethora of information on cloud computing and the logistics surrounding it, all you really need to know now is that your life has completely changed for the better.
All you need to do now is pick a platform, provide a username and password and start your new, easier life!
