Amit Kumar presented on the topic of cloud storage. He began by defining cloud storage as online file storage centers that allow users to safely upload files to the internet. Some major cloud storage providers were identified as Apple iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, and Microsoft SkyDrive. Advantages of cloud storage included universal document access, easier group collaboration, and increased data reliability. Disadvantages included the need for a constant internet connection, potential security issues with stored data, risk of data loss if providers have issues, and poor performance over low-speed internet connections.

11. Advantages of cloud storing
 Universal document access:
 That is not a problem with cloud computing, because you do
not take your documents with you.
 Instead, they stay in the cloud, and you can access them
whenever you have a computer and an Internet connection
 Documents are instantly available from wherever you are.
 Easier group collaboration:
 Sharing documents leads directly to better collaboration.
 Many users do this as it is an important advantages of cloud
computing
 multiple users can collaborate easily on documents and
projects

 Increased data reliability:
 Unlike desktop computing, in which if a hard disk crashes
and destroy all your valuable data, a computer crashing in
the cloud should not affect the storage of your data.
 If your personal computer crashes, all your data is still out
there in the cloud, still accessible
 In a world where few individual desktop PC users back up
their data on a regular basis, cloud computing is a data-safe
computing platform!

13. Disadvantages of cloud storing
 Requires a constant Internet connection:
 Cloud computing is impossible if you cannot connect to
the Internet.
 Since you use the Internet to connect to both your
applications and documents, if you do not have an
Internet connection you cannot access anything, even
your own documents.
 A dead Internet connection means no work and in areas
where Internet connections are few or inherently
unreliable, this could be a deal-breaker.

14. Continue…
 Stored data might not be secure:
 With cloud computing, all your data is stored on the cloud.
 The questions is How secure is the cloud?
 Can unauthorised users gain access to your confidential
data?
 Stored data can be lost:
 Theoretically, data stored in the cloud is safe, replicated
across multiple machines.
 But on the off chance that your data goes missing, you have
no physical or local backup.

15. Continue…
 Does not work well with low-speed connections:
 Similarly, a low-speed Internet connection, such as that
found with dial-up services, makes cloud computing painful
at best and often impossible.
 Web-based applications require a lot of bandwidth to
download, as do large documents.
