The Benefit of Using Cloud Data Storage Services and a Warning About...

Data is the most important and most precious commodity of the age, as nations fight to obtain it, analyze it, and benefit from it in various fields and uses. What concerns us in this idea is that you care about preserving your data and not leaving it on your computer without taking multiple backup copies in several places and in more than one way.

So, store a copy on your device on an NVMe storage drive, or SSD as a minimum, then another external copy on an external storage drive of the same type, then a copy on a flash memory kept in the safe "and if you can make it an external drive, that is better than a flash drive."

Then we come to the new reality, which is based on cloud services that spare you all this trouble, such as the Google Drive app, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and others, while necessarily keeping a copy with you for whatever reason.

Some people have suffered breaches and lost their data, while others had problems with their accounts and lost them as well.

Is using cloud services for files considered a safe option? The answer is yes, to a certain extent. Just as your device is not 100% secure, since total security does not truly exist, so too are cloud systems. But this does not mean we should abandon their use; let us use them for the files we need to use and access, such as a driver's license, certificates, the resume, important photos, papers, documents, and files we continue to edit "for example, like my book 'Technical Thinking,' which was written using the cloud service Google Docs, where I started it on a phone, then completed it on a Galaxy Fold, then reviewed it on the computer, and sometimes I used other phones to add a new point or do another review." Just as I benefit from them, you can do so quite easily.

All you have to do is enable the two-step login system and verify the account recovery information, such as the phone number, backup email, and recovery word, while being careful not to upload sensitive matters, such as work information within confidential and top-secret classifications, or embarrassing matters, such as sensitive, dangerous photos, videos, and documents. As for anything else, there is usually no problem with it, unless it violates the laws of your country.
