In 2025, businesses generate more data than ever — documents, images, videos, client records.
👉 Storing all this on local hard drives is risky and inefficient. That’s where cloud storage tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive come in.
In this guide, Techsoftonics explains what cloud storage is, and its pros & cons for businesses.
🔹 What is Cloud Storage?
Cloud storage is a service that lets you store, access, and share files online instead of keeping them only on your computer.
- Files are stored on remote servers (the cloud).
- You can access them anytime via the internet.
- Popular examples: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive.
💡 Example: Instead of emailing large files, you upload them to Google Drive and share a link instantly.
