The Cloud or cloud computing is nothing else than actually storing and accessing data as well as applications or programs over the internet instead of storing it locally on a computers hard drive.

We used to store data on our local computers but with Cloud we have much more space to store data
Many of us are used to store our pictures that we take with our mobile phones in the cloud. We set up our phones to sync our images and contacts to the cloud using our Google Accounts. This means that when we get a new phone, we only have to log into our Google account on the new phone, and the contacts, images, pictures and documents will automatically sync back to our new phone. This really makes life easier.
When it comes to businesses, the three leading providers of cloud computing is Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
There are many other Cloud computing providers in the market.
In the older days we used to buy new versions of Microsoft Office from shops in order to have the latest version of Office for home or office use. Microsoft O365 is now your one-stop office shop.
We now subscribe to a specific package using our credit detail or other payment methods and we always have the latest version of Office and a lot of Cloud Storage available for use. Just like we sync our phone contacts to the cloud we can do the same with our computers.
