What is CLOUD OR SKY DRIVE?
When someone tells you they’ve saved their file “in the cloud,”
they’re not referring to a cumulous mass in the sky where an angel is
waiting with a pen drive. Cloud storage (iCloud, Sky Drive and the like)
simply refers to a third party hosting your data along with that of
others via a network (like the Internet) on storage servers somewhere on
Earth (on land, not in the sky!). Think of it as a virtual briefcase
that stores all your data and lets you access, save, delete and
otherwise manipulate it via your email, a cloud storage gateway or the
Web, so you never have to carry all your data around with you all the
time.
