Cloud storage: the best way to manage and store data

Cloud storage is a place on the internet where you can safely store your files — like photos, videos, documents, or music. Instead of saving everything on your phone, laptop, or USB stick, you keep it in the “cloud” — a kind of online vault.

The great thing is: all your devices can access it. So you take a photo on your phone and later open it on your laptop. Everything comes together in one place, and you always have access to it — wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection.

When you save something to the cloud, it’s actually sent to a big computer (a server). That server is located in a data centre somewhere, like in Norway if you use Jottacloud. You use an app or a website to upload or view your files.

Jottacloud is a great example. If your phone is almost full, you can move your photos and videos to Jottacloud. That way, you free up space without deleting anything. You can still view everything in the Jotta app, just like it’s still on your phone.

The cloud isn’t something floating in the sky. It’s made up of real computers, often large servers in secure buildings. With European services like Jottacloud, these servers are located in Europe. That’s reassuring, because Europe has strict privacy and security laws.

So: your files are stored safely somewhere, but you can always access them via the internet.

Cloud storage helps solve a few common problems:

• Your phone or laptop is full. Move your files to the cloud and free up space.
• You lose something. If your device breaks or gets stolen, your files are still safe in the cloud.
• Access from multiple devices. You can reach your stuff from anywhere, whether you’re on your laptop or phone.
• Security. Cloud storage is often safer than an external hard drive or USB stick.

A NAS is a device you connect to your home network. You can also store files on it, but you have to manage the security yourself. That can be pretty tricky.

And things can go wrong. Well-known brands like Synology and QNAP have had issues with hackers in the past. Due to flaws in their systems, outsiders could view or even delete files.

With cloud storage like Jottacloud, the security is already taken care of. Your files are stored safely, with passwords, encryption, and extra layers of protection. In addition, Jottacloud offers unlimited storage, so you never have to worry about whether you can upload all your files.

Below, we've created a comparison table that shows the differences between cloud storage and a NAS.
