• Disaster recovery — By moving to a cloud, you eliminate the risk of data being lost entirely because of a natural disaster, security breach or mistake.
• Better security — A cloud storage system let you control who has access to certain information better, both employees and clients. Encryption algorithms have precise controls so only authorized parties can access a file.
• Easier on the budget — Once you reach the limit of a service's free storage, you can pay in increments for more. Most of the time, that costs less than the cost of hardware and external drives. It also reduces IT costs, as most cloud servers carry out their own maintenance.
• Automation — Certain cloud systems let you set up automated alerts, storing, and recording, to help you become even more efficient.
