The Cloud
Remote storage realm
The cloud refers to remote servers accessed over the internet for storing data and running applications, rather than using local hardware.
Files kept in the cloud exist on distant computers maintained by companies like Google or Amazon.
The term evokes something diffuse and everywhere at once—your photos, documents, and software floating overhead, accessible from any device.
I back up everything to the cloud.
