For many computer users, cloud technology is something they already use without even realizing it. In this book, author Andrea Eldridge offers guidance on how to proactively utilize a cloud storage and backup account. She explains that advantages of cloud storage over purchasing a secondary hard drive include unlimited storage space, reliability, and off-site protection. Eldridge also provides in-depth guidance on how to choose a cloud storage provider based on the type and amount of data you plan to store, the type and number of devices that will access it, and how widely you wish to share it.

Eldridge further explains how a syncing data storage solution can help integrate your media collection across all of your devices, so you can keep important data up to date without getting bogged down by old versions. The book also covers tips for keeping your data safe in the cloud.

Highlights of the book include a thorough introduction to cloud technology, information on estimating how much space you need, and tips for cloud safety.
