- Cloud computing involves storing applications and data on shared servers rather than individual devices. This allows for collaboration and access from anywhere with an internet connection. Some key benefits include reduced upfront costs, easy sharing of files and real-time collaboration, automatic software updates, and scalable storage as needs increase or decrease. Examples include using web-based email rather than local email software or accessing bank applications via a web browser from any location.
