I want to find a way to keep my photos, documents, videos and music in a place that is safer than on my computer. If my Macbook Air melts, where can I keep my irreplaceable files so that they aren’t lost?
Should I buy some iCloud space? I found that I could get 5GB of storage free at iCloud. Is that enough for my files? Should I instead buy 10, 20, or 50 GB?
At Flikr I can get 1 TB of space free. What on Earth is a TB? How should I save my files?
In this activity students learn about computer memory, KB, MB, GB and TB. They compare four different cloud providers and estimate their own cloud storage needs.
