Advantages of cloud storing

Universal document access: That is not a problem with cloud computing, because you do

not take your documents with you.

Instead, they stay in the cloud, and you can access themwhenever you have a computer and an Internet connection

Documents are instantly available from wherever you are.

Easier group collaboration: Sharing documents leads directly to better collaboration.

Many users do this as it is an important advantages of cloudcomputing

multiple users can collaborate easily on documents andprojects

Increased data reliability:

Unlike desktop computing, in which if a hard disk crashes

and destroy all your valuable data, a computer crashing in

the cloud should not affect the storage of your data.

If your personal computer crashes, all your data is still out

there in the cloud, still accessible

In a world where few individual desktop PC users back up

their data on a regular basis, cloud computing is a data-safe

computing platform!

11/1/2016 12

Disadvantages of cloud storing

Requires a constant Internet connection:

Cloud computing is impossible if you cannot connect to

the Internet.

Since you use the Internet to connect to both your

applications and documents, if you do not have an

Internet connection you cannot access anything, even

your own documents.

A dead Internet connection means no work and in areas

where Internet connections are few or inherently

unreliable, this could be a deal-breaker.

Stored data might not be secure:

With cloud computing, all your data is stored on the cloud.

The questions is How secure is the cloud?

Can unauthorised users gain access to your confidential

data?

Stored data can be lost:

Theoretically, data stored in the cloud is safe, replicated

across multiple machines.

But on the off chance that your data goes missing, you have

no physical or local backup.

Continue…

Does not work well with low-speed connections:

Similarly, a low-speed Internet connection, such as that

found with dial-up services, makes cloud computing painful

at best and often impossible.

Web-based applications require a lot of bandwidth to

download, as do large documents.
