4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR DOCUMENTS IN THE CLOUD

Today, cloud storage is helping to solve the ever-present need for more storage space to hold all of your digital property. But what are the real advantages of keeping your documents and files on the cloud?

Here are some good reasons.

Because passwords can be hacked

When you store your documents on drives and disks, and think that you can protect them with a slick password, then you are grossly misinformed. Nowadays, there are various software and intelligent cyber experts who can easily break your codes. This doesn’t mean that passwords aren’t safe, just that they’re vulnerable to dictionary and brute force attacks.

There are some cloud forms that are also protected by passwords, but a hacker has more security features to break into before getting your data and documents. If you choose a cloud storage solution that relies on a password to access your data, choose a password that’s difficult to hack with dictionary attacks, and change your password often to reduce the chances of success from brute force attacks.

So that you can share your documents easily

In addition to being able to access your documents anywhere, sharing is another important reason to use a cloud service. Usually, the person you decide to share a file or a folder with needs to be a user of that same cloud storage service. Whether they be files, spreadsheets, videos or work documents, sharing in the cloud is super easy & fast! This means you can simultaneously work on something, thus saving time and effort.

Because there are no software application setups required

In the corporate world, this is a huge benefit for the employers and employees. Since the application is internet based, the employee can access the application from anywhere depending on the company policies obviously. No need to call the IT guy or the helpdesk to install the application. The cloud based applications already has pre-defined settings and permissions set, no hassles. And what does this mean? Simple – knowing how expensive software applications are, then businesses will be able to save money. For the casual users, there are some free and paid cloud based applications which can be as good as the installed software. You can edit the documents while traveling in Bus or Train, and once you reach home/work, you simply continue from where you left off.

No more worries about upgrading RAM, storage or computer speed

Since all the services you are using are cloud based, you really don’t need to worry about how fast your processor or RAM is, or for that matter, even the storage space on your machine. Cloud services’ ability to allocate the resources as required is instinctive and spontaneous, and it will never, like the installed application “Hang” or “Freeze” while you are working on something extremely important. Not to forget the fact that it also auto-saves all your work, in case you system freezes. You can always back up your data by downloading the files and documents in case the cloud application goes offline or if your internet stops working.
