Traditionally, we used programs that were installed on our computer's hard drive. We also saved work in folders and files on our computer's hard drive. With cloud computing your work is sent to huge banks of computers where it is run on web-based programs, before the output is sent back to your own computer. The main advantages are your software is always up-to-date, security is of the highest order and you can access your files wherever you are. Also, it is easy to give secure access to friends, relatives or colleagues to share files. To understand cloud computing you need to appreciate the parts, operation and evolution of a computer which is covered initially. Then the concept of the internet, the cloud and accessing it are explained as is internet browsing. The practicalities of the most popular cloud storage apps then follow. While the last chapters deal with web based 'Office' apps, cloud printing and local storage. This book will apply to most devices including PCs, Macs, laptops, tablets and smartphones running the most popular operating systems: Windows 10, iOS for iPads and iPhones, Android for tablets and smartphones and Google OS for Chromebooks. Simple non-technical language and clear step-by-step instructions with screen shots are used throughout and no previous knowledge of computing is assumed
