Storage in the Cloud

Cloud storage is an awesome option for students and teachers who don't have enough storage space on their laptops or mobile devices. Cloud storage services will allow you to access all your files anywhere (desktop, phones, laptops, or tablet), share files with your colleagues, and organize them in folders or albums. Additionally, if your computer ever crashes or gets destroyed, you will still have access to your files on your different cloud storage services. 

This week we will focus on the following cloud services: Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, YouTube, Flickr, and ODrive.
