Reviewed by: Robert Hampton
Published
"The cloud" refers to a network of remote servers on the internet that store and manage data and applications, instead of using your own computer or local server. When you use cloud services, your information is saved online, which means you can access it from any device with an internet connection, like a phone, tablet, or laptop. This is useful for storing large amounts of data, collaborating with others, and using applications without needing to install them on your device. In GCSE Computer Science, understanding the cloud helps you learn how data is managed and shared in today's digital world.
