Week 5: File Management&Search/Research

Week 5:

Cloud?














No, cloud: 



Cloud storage is a relatively new concept to me. To be honest I never understood how it worked. Essentially it's a free service anyone can use to store files or documents. There is no hardware or physical necessities. I will definitely be setting up an account with one of the many options for cloud storage, iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox.

The videos we watched about which is better: Google Drive or Dropbox? were very informative, explaining the benefits and downfalls to each. I think I've decided that I will open a Google Drive account so that I can use it for my school needs. I'm ALWAYS misplacing my thumb drive and it would be nice if I could have all my necessary documents in one place. 

THE FUTURE:

I think this is only the beginning of what is to come in the future. I think we won't ever need any actual physical devices (except for the actual computer, phone, tablet, etc.) I believe all our storage will backup to the cloud, wifi will be available anywhere and we will never need to worry about losing important documents and files because they will be available anywhere and everywhere.
