digital storage
Electronic file keeping
Digital storage is the preservation of data in electronic form—on hard drives, flash memory, cloud servers, or optical discs.
Unlike physical storage of objects, digital storage holds information as encoded signals that can be retrieved, copied, and transmitted: I'm running out of digital storage on my phone.
The term often appears in discussions of capacity, measured in bytes: The plan includes 100 gigabytes of cloud storage.
