Cloud storage is quite different from your local/hard drive storage. In clouds storage you data is stored on many physical servers or virtual servers that hosted by third party services provider companies. An example of a cloud computing file storage provider is Dropbox. Files that are stored on Dropbox can be accessed from any device via the Internet.
Local Storage
Local storage is always cost effective because
it has the benefit of one-time upfront cost. Another factor which is always
very important in which local storage still gets priority is the security of
data which is stored in your local storage. Unless someone has physical access
to your desktop or portable hard drive, your files aren't susceptible to
hacking or theft. With a cloud service, once you upload your files, the
provider has complete control over where and how your data is stored. This is
one of many reasons why it's crucial to read the terms and privacy policies of
any cloud storage provider you considering using.
