In a nutshell, cloud storage is where your data are stored that makes it accessible across your devices. Now, I have family members who don’t know what Dropbox or OneDrive are, but they have cell phones and laptops and automatic backup, so the Cloud still comes into play. I am not computer illiterate, but I am old enough to remember how things were before, and Dropbox was the start of cloud storage for the general public.Ĭhances are, if you’re reading this, you’re using some sort of cloud service.

It was this nifty program with folders that I could put my stuff in and then retrieve it on another computer! I was amazed. Not impossible, but a total pain.Īround 2008, I started working for a new company and they used Dropbox. They are still great small and lots of storage available, and you can get them in really cool colors and… shapes? The racecar’s amazing!Īnyway, whenever I needed to switch computers, I had to grab a flash drive, throw everything on it, go to the other computer, and do it all in reverse.

Back in 2006 when I started working, flash drives/thumb drives were the poo.
