Factors to consider before using cloud storage
Before concluding that the cloud storage is the better option for the backup of data in your computer, consider its pros and cons and then take up the decision. For some you, the information that is stored on your computer like the audio, video, presentations, documents, contacts and more are quite precious than your systems.
But what will happen when there is something wrong with your PC? The storage of information plays a vital role here. There are various cloud services in the internet that you can use to upload your data and then access them later. But the question is that are they trustworthy and can they be effective? This actually depends on the various factors that are discussed below.
Cost and Capacity
To get the maximum storage bytes then choosing a portable hard drive is the better option when compared to cloud. You can buy a portable hard disk for about 5,000 to 6,000 but an online storage is more expensive. But for those who need lesser space can go with the latter as most of the online services have a certain quantity of free storage that is usually sufficient for them.
Ease of Use
The cloud storage costs more than the physical hard disk drives but they are easier to use. You can access your data without a hard drive and also view them from any smartphone or tablet. But still the hard drives can store all sort of data on your system like the operating system and other programs unlike the cloud storage.
Connectivity
The data stored on the cloud can be accessed from any device and this depends on the connectivity. When you have limited or poor connectivity, the accessing of data becomes quite difficult.
Sharing & Collaboration
If you have to share the information frequently, go ahead and store on the cloud. You can simply share the info with the other person by giving them the right to view or edit it. When this comes to the hard drive, you have to send the drive to the other person or mail the data to the person. Cloud storage also allows you to edit the documents simultaneously with the services like Google Docs.
Versatility
The hard drive can have information stored on your computer only but when it comes to the cloud storage, it can have information that is on your tablet or smartphones as well.
Security
The basic idea behind the storage of information in places other than the computer is to keep it safe. Both the cloud storage as well as physical storage options are equally good as they have a separate username and password to keep the data secured. But however, storing the data online is highly prone to damage and theft.
