Cloud Computing Seminar

Last week I attended a seminar at LIU, the seminar was entitled "Cloud Computing" in which Cloud computing is defined as a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.  Clouds serve as a modern and more useful replacement for floppy disks, CDs and flash memories. Clouds such as: Google Drive, One Drive, I Cloud and Drop Box, can be used on desktops, mobile phones and tablets allowing easier access and modification for the data at anytime, plus clouding insures a more secure storage of data (no viruses), can save your time  downloading documents since files can be viewed directly from the cloud, and thus reducing the load on your device by allowing more free space and consequently enabling your device to work faster. In the other hand, uploading also will take less time especially if you are sending a file for several emails, then you upload one file and share it with all by providing the link or allowing whom you want to view or edit your file. A very important advantage is that by using a cloud you can print whatever documents you want by only a press without a need to connect wires or to  approach the printer. The drawbacks of this technique, is that that administrators of the clouds can view or even delete your data, but you can avoid this problem by downloading "Boxcryptor" that permits you to put another password to insure that your info won't be accessed
