Intro to Cloud Storage Basics

Intro to Cloud Storage Basics

Have you heard the term "the Cloud" or the phrase "Store it in the cloud". Of course you have whether it was on a television commercial or something you viewed on the internet. If you haven't, don't worry about it, I will explain it all to you throughout this course. The "cloud" has become a very popular application that you should get familiar with. You never know when you may need it.

You will learn about the various types of cloud storage. I go over three of them in this course. I will discuss with you how to download one of these cloud storage apps on your computer and set it up. There are three small project assignments that I have included that will also help you learn to do this as well. I will touch on the cost of cloud storage and what we use cloud storage apps for. I will also briefly discuss the security of cloud storage as well as the advantages and disadvantages.

I have also included a few quizzes to help you and I both see how much you have learned from this course.

Throughout this course I will be using a Mac, but you can use a Mac or a PC.

Over the next few months I will be adding more material and projects to this course. A few things to look forward to are a few lectures about CrashPlan and BigStash (beta). If you have any suggestions of anything more that I could add, please feel free to let me know.

Learn the basics of Cloud Storage Apps and be well on your way to being able to access your files from anywhere.
