How Cloud Computing Works

Cloud Computing takes the data that you send it and temporarily stores it. While it is stored, you are able to process, share, and perform other processes with the data. An example of this would be Google Drive. Google Drive allows the users to use its services like Google Docs and Google Slides and share the documents located on these services with other accounts. It also holds all of the data from each document in one site, rather than multiple sites. This allows the user to access their data from their account, another account, or from a different device. When accessing it from a different device, this data that is being temporarily stored can then be moved to the new device by downloading it. There is a cost of being able to easily and securely hold all your data on one site. Google Drive allows its users to start with up to 15 gigabytes of free data storage. If you want more data to hold files and documents, you have to purchase it. This is what makes the temporary aspect of Cloud Computing.
