Cloud storage

In plain language

Online space where your files are kept so you can reach them from any device.

The metaphor

Like a storage unit across town with a key on your phone: your things are safe there and you can fetch them from anywhere.

How it works

  • Examples are OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and SharePoint.
  • Syncs between devices and can be shared by link.
  • Access depends on account security.
  • Deletions often sync too, so a backup still matters.

How WILDCARD handles it

Cloud covers workspace administration across the common storage tools. Unified Backups gives an independent copy.

In practice
  • A designer shares proofs with a client by link.
  • A clinic stores forms in a secure library.
  • A shop stops using a personal Dropbox.

A question owners ask

Is cloud storage safe for client data? It can be, with MFA, careful sharing and a business account. Personal accounts for work files are the main risk.
