"Using Cloud Storage -- An Overview"

MEETING DATE: July 18, 2014

The benefits of storing data files in the cloud are:

• Reduces the probability of losing data files and photos due to hard drive crashes and operator error
• Facilitates collaboration between multiple people working on the same project
• Provides you with the ability to synchronize data files and digital photo albums between multiple computers, tablets, and cell phones.

Francis will show you the differences between Microsoft's "OneDrive", "Google Drive", Apple's "iCloud", and "Box".
