Cloud computing refers to storing data on the Internet instead of your hard drive. Storing files on a cloud is a good idea because you can access your files on any computer instead of just the one with your hard drive. It is also a good way to backup files.
DropBox and Box.com are my favorite cloud websites. DropBox gives you 2GB of space free and Box.com gives you 10GB. I like using DropBox for backing up files on the internet, like photos you are tagged in on Facebook or your e-mail. I like to store projects I'm currently working on on my Box.com account, such as eBooks I'm writing right now. It's nice to use because I can work on my current projects on any computer.
Flickr is a photo sharing website. It's not exactly a cloud, but you can use it to backup your photos no that they offer 1TB of space (which can hold how many photos).
Google has a lot of good cloud programs. Google Drive gives you lots of free space to store your documents which is enough to hold all my word files. You can also share files with other people. I like using Google Play to listen to music. You can upload a large number of music files for free and listen to them on the web.
You can also use backup services, which are kind of like a cloud, but they cost money. I like using Carbonite to backup my files on the web. I have also used Mozy in the past.
What are your favorite cloud sites?
