Running out of space on your hard drive? Consider cloud storage.

1. Reasons Why You Should
Start Using Cloud Storage
Devices

2. 1. File sizes are getting bigger every year.
With the proliferation of
hi-def content, file sizes
are quickly becoming
bigger and bigger. While
most computer users
can just add more
storage devices to their
inventory, there will
come a time when
things will just get too
cluttered.

3. This problem isn’t limited to personal computer use. Big
businesses often have big data storage rooms to go
along with their sizes. With growing data sizes come
growing logistics problems (“Do we need another room
for all this data?” or “How much will it cost to transfer all
this data onto the newer storage devices with higher
capacities?”). Having physical storage devices also
carries the risk of them being destroyed during events
like earthquakes.

4. 2. Cloud accessibility has improved greatly.
We are now at a
technological point where
even small businesses
with less sophisticated net
infrastructures can access
cloud services as fast as
big businesses. With
advancements like de-
duplication now becoming
standard, data transfer
speed has vastly
improved.

5. 3. Cloud storage has become more affordable.
Because the costs of
hardware and bandwidth
required for cloud storage
upkeep have
decreased, cloud service
prices have gone down
as well. Where in 2006 a
GB of data would cost
$13, a GB now would
cost you only about a
dollar.

6. 4. Speeds have improved.
Because of developments
in fiber optics and the
widespread use of the
technology, data exchange
speeds between
users, cloud services, and
other users has increased
a lot.

7. 5. Cloud storage is ideal for mobile devices.
The number of people using
portable gadgets is slowly but
surely rising, to the point that
a lot of them forego the use
(and even ownership) of full-
fledged computers. SD
cards, external HDs, and
other smartphone,tablet, and
laptop parts can only go so
far. To retain your gadget’s
portability as much as
possible, go with cloud
storage services.

8. 6. There are now more service choices than ever.
And because the competition
between cloud storage service
providers has become much
fiercer, expect good things to
come out of it (at least, on the
consumers’ end). Reduced
prices, great deals, innovative
services; all these and more
are byproducts of healthy
business competition. Look
around and see which service
provider catches your eye the
most!
