Please Choose Cloud Services

May be unsure, or you do not know where to begin. Trying every Cloud service would take a lot of time and work. But, the website Reviews.com might help.


One valuable feature is the protection of digital files, including photos, videos, documents, music and more. If the worst happens and your computer crashes, or gets lost or damaged, your files can still found in the Cloud.

Cloud services let you access your files from almost anywhere. No need to worry about a file stored on your computer when you are away from your desk. If you have an Internet connection, you can open your files from any computer, or from a phone, when they are stored using a Cloud service.

Using a Cloud service makes sharing files easier. If you send documents to a group using emails, you may then wonder which version everyone is working with. When sharing files using a Cloud service, everyone will see the same document and the latest version.

The first thing to consider is the amount of storage space you need. Check how much space you are currently using on your computer and mobile devices. If your computer or phone is filled with photos and you have little free space, you may want to move your photos to the Cloud. Some Cloud services are free. But, if you need a lot of space, you will probably need one that costs money.

Even if everyone you have ever met is a Windows user, you still probably want a Cloud service that works with many platforms. You might become friends with an Android user or start a job with a company that computers on Apple!

1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Google-Drive users can obtain 100GB for free.
B.Most Cloud services can send files to both the Cloud and the local computer.
C.It’s hard to transfer your file when you turn on the computer if it is stored in the Cloud.
D.Never worry about finding your files in the Clouds if the computer system crashes.
2. What will you have to do if you need more space to store more files in the Cloud?
A.To use your own Cloud services.B.To share Cloud space with others.
C.To spend money buying space.D.To buy the latest version of the service.
3. How can consumers find the Cloud service that suits them best?
A.By learning more information about the space occupied by files.
B.By comparing Cloud’s function, storage, available space and prices.
C.By sending files to a group of people via e-mail inquiring about the Cloud service.
D.By making friends with Android users who use Apple computers.
