Whats in the clouds

I know its been a while. Normal life just got in the way of blogging.

But I am now back.

So I thought I would talk about the cloud.

To many The Cloud means free wifi when out and about. 
To others it means Apple's online storage.
And to some it just means somewhere on the internet to store data.

In fact many companies now use cloud services, as they are called, to store or back up data. So in the event of everything going pair shaped  they don't have to try and find the daily or weekly backup, which maybe difficult in the event of a fire. They just log on to the cloud service they belong to and all the data is there.

 I use a cloud service called pCloud. Like many you get 10GB free plus another 4GB if you use their virtual drive software on your PC, so you can use the cloud as an extra hard drive.
There are also paid for options such as more space. This is currently €175 (was €480)  for an extra 500GB or €350 for 2TB ( was €980). So both are great deals, especially as its a one off payment. There are monthly and yearly payment plans too.

At the moment I use their free service as its all I need. But I do see a time when one of the paid for options might be handy. 

So what do I use my pCloud account for. Well to store all sorts of files from my PC and to automatically back up my phone's data. So when ever I take a photo it will automatically transfer it to my pCloud account. I have set mine up to automatically do it when ever I am connected to Wifi. 
 By doing this I now get no more "file storage low" type messages.
Another great feature is the share folder option. You can set up folders to be shared. You are given a link and you just send the link to the person you want to share files with. This is great for friends and family when sharing holiday photos or baby pics etc..

So what are you waiting for join the pCloud revolution and download the app for your phone and computer.
