Free Cloud Storage

The cloud… you may wonder what this is and how it all works… don’t bother trying to figure it out… its complicated and doesn’t need to be. So simply put, there are servers that companies own and have converted into systems that enable you to employ their vast storage to assist you with your dad to day online and offline life. I say offline, but frankly if you are not connected to the internet then the cloud is not available of course. However normally you would never store data “only” on your cloud storage. When you come online, your system will connect and resync to the cloud and all will be well again.
There are now dozens of systems for using for this purpose but as per usual, the front runner has come down to a few key components. Those are marketing, and being the first to master the hurdles of simplification for the common user, that and of course backing the platform divide, the tiny market share of Apple has however become the master seeder for this massive organisation. Welcome to DropBox, an amazing cloud backup solution that you will never use to its full capacity. By signing up you get 2Gb free and can buy any volume to suit your needs… as you share with other users you earn credit which is given to you in the form of extra storage – 250Mb at a time.
