Cloud storage refers to the practice of storing data on remote servers rather than on users’ local systems. This concept dates back to 1983, when CompuServe initially provided its customers with 128k of disk space for file storage.
Since then, the field of cloud storage has undergone continuous development, and it will continue to evolve due to ever-present threats like data loss, information breaches, hacking, and other malicious attacks.
