A hard drive in a computer is a very powerful system. It allows your data to be stored very quickly and easily. But although it is more powerful and has a more relative use at home, is it better than storing data in the Cloud? The cloud allows your data to be accessed anywhere. This means that if the only time you use a computer is at home, it is more reasonable to use your computers hard drive to store data unless you are planning to share it. But if you happen to use a laptop computer at work and a tower computer at home, you might want to use Cloud storage. This is because you can easily share the data between the 2 computers without having to bring your laptop from work home and back every day. But if you happen to be a frequent traveler or use a computer in many different places, Cloud storage is a clear yes. This is because you never have to worry about having to bring extra equipment. Instead, you can bring one computer everywhere you go, with data from hundreds of other computers. Choosing whether to use a hard drive or cloud storage is purely based on preference. But cloud storage is always there for if you need to share data around the internet.
