Advantages and Disadvantages of migrating everything to the cloud 

The cloud is a computer tool that allows you to save files or data over the Internet, which is managed by a computer provider through free versions or for a commercial fee. In this case, the provider, through storage systems, is responsible for safeguarding the files and ensuring their durability on the Internet. They are also responsible for ensuring availability if necessary. The user can upload files to the cloud from a mobile device, computer connected to the Internet.

What are its benefits?

It allows us to share files with family and friends without having to take up storage space on physical devices in a secure way. Likewise, we can make backup copies with the intention of preserving important information and recovering them later without complications.

In addition to providing ease of saving any type of files and folders directly as it can be associated with more than one participant, as is the case with shared folders.

Advantages:

• Expensive infrastructure is not necessary since making use of cloud storage eliminates the need to use systems that can be expensive.
• Accessibility Wherever you have Internet, you will be able to access your files without any problem. There is the facility to work efficiently using this method, allowing mobility.
• Data recovery: the impersonation of physical drives by this modality allows files to be safely backed up, avoiding unexpected problems.
• Security and more security: Today’s providers of cloud storage services add layers of security to protect them from those who should not access them. On the other hand, they can protect files against natural disasters, server failures or errors that users may have to preserve them.

Disadvantages:

• Internet connection Because this is a cloud-based system, it is essential to have Internet access to access the files.
• Additional costs for being a system that requires a lot of maintenance, the providers of this service can add costs according to the volume of uploads or downloads from the cloud.
• Vulnerability to cyberattack depending on the security architecture of the cloud provider, one of the most significant advantages is that these files may not be completely secure if a vulnerability exists.
