Back-up & Cloud

What is cloud storage exactly?

Cloud storage refers to storing digital files on external servers that are accessible via the internet. Your files are no longer saved locally on a USB stick or hard drive, but in an online environment you can access at any time. This gives you instant access to your photos, documents, or other data from multiple devices without carrying physical storage media.

Benefits of using secure cloud storage

One major advantage of cloud storage is built-in security. Files are encrypted during both transfer and storage, preventing unauthorized access. Many providers use multiple data centers and backup systems, significantly reducing the risk of data loss. By using passwords, access rights, and two-factor authentication, you make cloud storage secure and suitable for sensitive or business-related data.

Automatic synchronization across devices

Cloud storage services automatically synchronize your files across devices. This means you always have access to the same files, whether you're working on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. It's especially useful for people who work in multiple locations or on the go, without needing to manually transfer files.

Secure collaboration with shared folders

With cloud storage, you can easily share folders or files with others. You decide who gets access and whether they can only view or also edit the content. This makes it ideal for teamwork within families or professional groups. With time-limited links, access controls, and activity notifications, you maintain full control over who sees your data.
