3. Cloud Storage ?
Cloud storage is a cloud computing model in which data
is stored on remote servers accessed from the Internet,
or "cloud." It is maintained, operated and managed by
a cloud storage service provider on a storage servers
that are built on virtualization techniques.

Depending on your specific needs, the size of your
environment, and your budget, it’s essential to weigh
all cloud and on demand options.

4. Benefits of Dropbox
Storage Backup:-Smart businessmen know that it’s
paramount to store important files and data in
different places to ensure that they’ll always
have a copy, no matter what disaster they
encounter.
File Sharing:-Perhaps the best part about Dropbox
is how easy it is to share files between your
business colleagues and employees. As long as
everyone has an account, adding and sharing
content will be a breeze.

5. Access
• Accessing Dropbox is very easy and flexible, thanks to all
the options it offers. Take a look at the access options
below, and tell me if they are not convenient:
• Desktop access—Dropbox offers a downloadable
application that allows you to access all your files and
folders directly from your Windows PC, Linux, or Mac, even
when you are offline.
• Online access—if you are out of the house and using other
computers, you can easily get a copy of your files by going
to the Dropbox website and logging into your account.
• Mobile access—sometimes, we just can’t find any
computers to use and get our important data from. At such
cases, what you need to do is whip out your mobile device
(e.g., iOS, Android, and smartphones), and access your files
via the Dropbox app. Pretty neat, right?

6. Updates:-Whenever a file is added or deleted
from a shared folder, Dropbox instantly
updates everyone who has access to it. This
guarantees that you will always have the most
important and latest copy of your files.
Retrieval:-If it were to happen to other cloud
storage, it might be a little difficult to get your
precious file back. With Dropbox, however,
retrieving your file is as easy as clicking the
“Undo” button.
