From the second half of the 1950s to the present day, digital file storage has evolved in astonishing ways. The use of storage servers and personal devices, such as computers or portable hard drives, has represented a transformation in the way information is stored and shared.

In recent years, the rise of cloud storage platforms has allowed users to have immediate access to digitised files, whether personal or work-related, optimising information sharing processes in real time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from anywhere with any device with access to the tool.

Why is cloud storage the best option?

For companies, having digital file servers has been an effective backup solution and immediate internal access to information through private interconnection networks that offer these systems, however, there are different variables that could cause inconveniences when consulting the data contained in these servers; from power failures to natural disasters are some events that should be considered in the execution of an information backup plan within an organisation.

But beyond these cases, the most recent one, which does not involve server downtime, has highlighted the need for services that allow access to information remotely, from anywhere and from any device with internet access, and this is none other than the worldwide confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yes, restrictions on free movement and the concentration of people in small spaces, as we all know, have forced organisations to keep their staff working from home. This situation has resulted in a significant drop in the flow of work in many companies, as they do not have storage and transmission services for their information outside their servers.

The new reality is overwhelming, in terms of production models, the expansion of workspaces demands the availability of information and ways of sharing it.

This is where the cloud storage service becomes more important. In addition to representing an effective solution for sharing information remotely, with immediate access from any device with an internet connection in real time, it is also the best alternative for reducing operating costs since, among other things, the supply of storage space is flexible, i.e. the user can acquire the amount he/she wants; it reduces server maintenance costs; it avoids the purchase of new hard disks for computers (in case of damage) or external memories (not counting possible losses).

It is definitely essential today to have a partner that provides a reliable and effective solution for backing up digital files in the cloud.
