The terms “cloud storage” and “cloud computing are often used interchangeably. They have a lot in common, but they are different concepts. Let’s start with the basics.

Cloud storage is basically a system that allows you to store data on the Internet, as you would on your computer. (Google Drive, DropBox, or iCloud)

Cloud computing gives the ability to access data and programs over the Internet instead of using your computer’s hard drive. (O365, SharePoint, Google Docs)
