What is cloud storage and is your data safe there?

Cloud storage is simply a safe place to keep your files on the internet so you can access them from any device. Your files are encrypted, which means they're locked up so no one can read them but you. Think of it like having a bank vault for your documents instead of keeping them only on one computer — if your computer breaks, your files are still safe and you can download them to a new device.

Cloud storage is a service that lets you save your files on secure servers instead of just on your computer. Your files are protected with encryption, which scrambles them into code that only you can unlock with your password. You can access your files from any device anywhere as long as you have internet, and if your computer breaks or gets lost, your files are still safe in the cloud. Major cloud storage services like OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and iCloud are used by millions of people and have strong security to keep your data private.
