cloud storage

Cloud = Internet

Storage = Server (e.g. a Computer)

Very simply, it is a server on the Internet you can store files on.

Versions of this are services like Dropbox, Google drive and iCloud.

three devices; one cloud storage account

Example

Here we have Tech Wizard Mike’s iCloud Drive ➡️ the files within each of these folders can be accessed from any device that is connected to the Internet (even outside of Tech Wizard Mike’s cloistered domicile 🏡) through www.icloud.com.

An iCloud Drive can be accessed from a Finder window.
