It seems like everybody is switching to cloud storage these days–isn't it time to keep up with the Jones'? In this particular instance, yes, it's probably a wise move. Cloud storage offers benefits that simply aren't available with more old school approaches. For companies or individuals on the fence, it can seem like a big change. Just like moving from CDs to an iPod, it's normal to feel a sense of loss when there's no longer something tangible to hold onto. However, also just like music, the benefits far outweigh familiarity. Here are 4 major benefits of moving hosting to the cloud.

1. Get More Time

Think about the time wasted making copies, updating hard copies, distributing copies, filing, maintaining printers, shopping for new printer paper or ink, rushing documents to an overnight courier service–there's a lot of leg work just for managing documents. With cloud storage, it's automated, virtual and can be done from any platform with Wi-Fi access. Documents are instantly updated and shared by everyone who has access, and access can be granted in seconds.

2. Save More Money

Take a look at item number one and consider it from a cost perspective. Someone's paying those administrative pros to take care of these tasks, printers and the accessories cost money and the cost of shipping can put a big dent in anyone's wallet. Along with saving time and effort, cloud storage can also save a lot of money. How much? Well, that depends on the size of the company and their current paper-wasting trends. However, it can potentially save thousands of dollars per year.

3. Get More Security

Cloud storage is a much more secure option than almost anything else, and–depending on different cloud servers–it's nearly indestructible. The tangible items the server uses is usually stored in a very secure place that can withstand natural disasters, theft and anything else. That's a lot more secure than the average home or office. There's almost no chance of lost documents when they're stored in the cloud.

4. It's More Than Documents

While cloud storage is known for document-storage capabilities, it can hold a lot more. For example, photos and music can all be stored and shared in the cloud. There's no more jumping from iTunes to cloud storage to find the right inspirational music to update that report. Do it all from one source.

Is cloud storage for everyone? Well, yes. Making the leap is the toughest part, but it's worth it. Start with an organized cloud system for the best experience.
