Cloud storage

What is cloud storage?

Cloud storage allows you to store digital files on remote servers accessible via the internet. Instead of keeping your data on a local USB stick or external drive, your files are stored in an online environment you can access anytime. This means you can open, edit and manage your documents, photos and backups from multiple devices without carrying physical storage with you.

Why cloud storage is a secure choice

One of the main advantages of cloud storage is its strong security model. Files are encrypted during transfer and while stored, ensuring that unauthorised users cannot access your data. Most providers use multiple data centres and backup layers, significantly reducing the risk of data loss. With options like password protection, role-based access and two-factor authentication, you can make cloud storage secure even for highly sensitive documents.

Real-time syncing and version control

Modern cloud storage services automatically sync changes made to your files, so you always have the latest version available. Whether you're working across devices or sharing files with others, your data stays up to date. Many providers offer version history, letting you recover previous file versions in case of accidental edits or deletions—giving you greater control and peace of mind.

Smart sharing with full access control

Cloud storage makes it easy to share folders or individual files with others. You choose who can view or edit, set expiration dates on shared links, and receive notifications when files are accessed. This makes it an ideal solution for collaboration within families, teams or freelance projects. Want help setting up cloud storage secure for your needs?
