cloud storage
Online file keeping
Cloud storage is the practice of saving digital files on remote servers accessed via the internet rather than on local hard drives or devices.
Services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud let users store photos, documents, and other data offsite: I back up everything to cloud storage.
The "cloud" metaphor suggests data floating in an abstract space, though it actually sits in physical data centers.
