3. What is cloud service?
•The term "cloud services" refers to a wide range of services delivered
on demand to companies and customers over the internet.
•These services are designed to provide easy, affordable access to
applications and resources, without the need for internal
infrastructure or hardware. From checking email to collaborating on
documents, most employees use cloud services.

4. Key benefits of cloud service
•The ability to scale
There's no need for a company to invest in its own resources or
allocate extra IT staff to manage the service.
•This makes it easy for the business to scale the solution as user
needs change—whether that means increasing the number of licenses to
accommodate a growing workforce or expanding and enhancing the
applications themselves.

5. Key benefits of cloud service
•Lowered costs
Many cloud services are provided on a monthly or annual subscription basis,
eliminating the need to pay for on-premises software licenses. This allows
organizations to access software, storage and other services without having
to invest in the underlying infrastructure or handle maintenance and
upgrades.
•Increased flexibility
With cloud services, companies can procure
services on an on-demand, as-needed basis.
If and when there’s no longer a need for a
particular application or platform, the
business can simply cancel the subscription
or shut down the service.

7. Google Drive
•Google Drive is a free service from
Google that allows you to store files
online and access them anywhere using
the cloud.
•Google Drive also gives you access to
free web-based applications for

presentations, and more.
•It offers the advantages of keeping
your files online which can be
accessed from any computer with an
Internet connection.

15 GB of storage for free.

it is, everything can be stored
safely in Drive.

9. Features of Google drive

online collaboration made easy.

allows you to create, share, and manage documents
