3. Cloud storage advantages

• Data is safely backed up at a remote location so even if you have a disaster such as a fire there will always be a secure backup of your files
• You can access your files from anywhere with a network connection, you aren't tied to your machine at home

For organisations:

• A company does not have to hire local IT staff for managing data.
• A company does not have to purchase expensive in-house servers.
• A company does not have to pay the energy costs of running a large server.
• A company does not have to rent or buy local office space to house servers.
• Data backup can be automatic with daily or even hourly backup runs.
