Pictures are so important in this day and age. No one really prints them anymore, they just store them digitally. I am guilty of storing them in “the cloud” but to be honest I have no idea what the could is! Why am I trusting all my precious memories to this?
The cloud is a network of servers, and each server has a different function. Some servers deliver a service while others are responsible for storing data. “Cloud computing” means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer or smartphone’s hard drive. “Cloud” is a buzzword that suggests the promise and convenience of being able to store and access files from anywhere. To put it simply, it’s an infrastructure of many computers housed in a massive warehouse all over the world.
But where does our data actually go? How does it get there? What happens to it on its way? When you store something in the cloud, you are actually storing it in a physical space. That file then slides across the wire and lives on a physical server in some far off place. These files usually end up being put in the possession of a giant corporation, making your “private files” not so private anymore.
At Picture Keeper, they believe in removable storage for a number of reasons. First of all, the cloud can be confusing. For those that are a little less “tech savvy”, it’s hard to understand how to access files at any given time. Having a USB device at your fingertips helps to know exactly where your files are stored, putting you at ease. 
With Picture Keeper Connect, you can backup, protect and access your files without using data or having to be connected to Wi-Fi, unlike the cloud. The cloud also typically requires you to pay a monthly fee, especially if you want to increase your storage. Lastly, Picture Keeper Connect gives you the flexibility and simplicity to share your files with your family and friends, all through one simple device.
