Cloud storage is a model of computer data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools, said to be on "the cloud". The physical storage spans multiple servers (sometimes in multiple locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company.
Just about any tool that helps us access our data or synchronize our files between multiple devices such as phones, tablets, and PCs uses cloud storage.[1]
Official narrative
Cloud storage makes sharing and storing data easier. Instead of having to back up your data on physical storage devices like USB drives or external hard drives, cloud storage frees up space on your device, and provides enhanced security and privacy protections compared to many traditional storage methods. There’s no need to be hesitant in uploading your files to the cloud out of fear that your data will be accessed by third parties. Many cloud storage providers have strict privacy policies in place to protect your data.[2]

In December 2023, the cloud provider Wasabi closed the account of Covid dissident Steve Kirsch[3], just after he released data from a New Zealand whistleblower.[4]
