1. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a type of computing service such as servers, storage,
databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the Internet
("the cloud") in order to provide faster innovation, more flexible resources, and
economies of scale.
2. Give at least 3 examples of Cloud Storage Software. Define each and provide its
advantages and disadvantages.
Google Drive - Google Drive is a free file storage and synchronization service
that provides users with 15 GB of storage space. Users can save photos, stories,
designs, drawings, recordings, and videos to Google Drive online storage. All
files in Drive are accessible from any smartphone, tablet, or computer, and you
can invite others to view, download, and collaborate on a group of files.
Advantages: The most significant benefit of storing your data on Google
Drive is that you can access it from anywhere. Google servers allow you to
access your data at any time by logging in with your Gmail account. The ability to
edit files in Google Drive is a unique feature that you will not find in other data
storage solutions. You have immediate access to a variety of suite editing tools,
such as Google Spreadsheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides, among others.
The search feature in Google Drive makes it simple to find a specific file by
allowing you to filter the file type and use keywords to find the file.
Disadvantages: The most serious disadvantage of using Google Drive is
that hackers can steal your important data. Google Drive cannot be accessed
unless you have an internet connection. It allows you to work offline, but any
changes or comments you make are only visible when you connect to the
internet. Google Drive will not allow you to upload files larger than 5 TB in a
single day. When you reach the limit, you are automatically blocked and must
wait until the following day to upload more. Several add-ons and apps integrate
seamlessly with Google Drive. These are mostly first-party apps that are simple
to integrate with this platform, but some third-party apps require payment to
unlock their features.
Dropbox - Dropbox is a file hosting service that provides cloud storage, file
synchronization, personal cloud storage, and client software. Dropbox is a cloud-
based storage service that allows users to create special folders on their
computers, which are then synchronized, allowing users to access the same
folder regardless of which computer is used to view it. Anything users add to
Dropbox will appear on all of their computers, phones, and even the Dropbox
website allowing them to access it from any location at any time.
Advantages: Dropbox's main advantage is that it is completely free. There
are no up-front or ongoing fees once you begin using the service. Dropbox is
extremely useful. It is simple to use, and anyone can learn how to use it quickly.
Dropbox is designed in such a way that you can always access the most recent
version of any file. Dropbox allows you to share files. To accomplish this, simply

Google Drive - Google Drive is a free file storage and synchronization service that provides users with 15 GB of storage space.

It is simple to use, and anyone can learn how to use it quickly. Dropbox is designed in such a way that you can always access the most recent version of any file. Dropbox allows you to share files. To accomplish this, simply

place the files in a folder designated for sharing with specific users or the general public. Disadvantages: One disadvantage of this service is that the administrators or developers who run it have the authority to delete data from free, inactive accounts. Dropbox's security is a major source of concern. There have been numerous reports of servers being hacked and data being stolen. As a result, any sensitive information stored on Dropbox should be kept secure. Egnyte - Egnyte offers a cloud computing infrastructure product for small, medium, and large business enterprises that allows for online file storage, file sharing, and computer backup. Egnyte adds new value to the enterprise file sharing product market by enabling teams to work how they want, wherever they are, and with a seamless, collaborative workflow. It offers all of the security and control that today's businesses require. Advantages: It excels at sharing files both within and outside of the organization. The integration with other platforms is seamless. The desktop app is quick and dependable, and the interface is simple to use. Users can easily download large files from the system without experiencing any lag or system bogging down. Disadvantages: The main disadvantage of the system is that it does not manage the uploading of large or huge files, even though large files can be easily downloaded, but the upload takes a long time. While uploading, the system occasionally lags, and the file must be uploaded again. Egnyte lacks the ability to sync multiple platforms at the same time. It only allows access to one platform at a time, which slows down work when migrating large amounts of data.
