Question

Getting Organized" Please respond to the following: Manny Fresh uses the Cloud to store his music tracks and other important files. Share with your instructor and peers your thoughts on the following: Try one (1) online storage tool that you have never used before, such as Google Drive, Dropbox , Box.com, or OneDrive. Note: Some of these services also offer priced options with additional storage capabilities, but just sign up for the free account for the purposes of this activity. OneDrive is already included in the Microsoft Office 365 account you automatically have as a Strayer student. You can also do this activity on your computer's desktop instead of using an online storage tool. Set up a file system where the first folder you create is titled (your name_CIS105_coursework) and the second folder you create is titled (your name_personal), and upload a few documents, links to sites, etc. to these folders. Share what you learned from this activity. Was this task easy or hard for you? Do you think having files stored in the cloud can help you manage your files? Do you think you will continue to use this system in the future? Why or why not? Optional: Attach a screenshot of the online storage tool you downloaded (or your folder structure if you'd like) within the discussion thread.

Answer 1

This task was not difficult and it was easy. With this task I was able to understand what are cloud drives, how it can be downloaded and used. Also I have learnt how can the folders be created in the cloud drives and used.

Yes, I completely believe that having the files stored in the cloud really helps manage the files. Also I am going to continue this facility in future also. There are many benefits of using the storage tool using it additionally. They are,

1. It acts as a backup when the files stored locally gets crashed

2. Day by day the important files goes on increasing and you would not be able to save everything in the local drive. The additional drive helps in storing all of them safe

3. You can keep some important files private and confidential

4. It helps in managing the data security with the help of using credentials

5. This can be accessed anywhere in the world and own system is not required

6. Free movement of data anywhere you want to move the data

Also I have attached the screenshot of drive I downloaded
