There are many types of cloud storage but for the sake of this article, and the one I prefer, along with most of my clients, I am going to focus on Dropbox and Amazon S3. Not only does cloud storage give you a place store data, it also allows for easy secure file sharing. If you aren’t backing up your computer and website you need to be, but that’s a post for another time. It’s also an ideal place to back up your data to keep safe in case of a computer or website crash. Storing data on hardware in a remote physical location, which you have complete access to from any device via the internet helps free up space on your phone or computer hard drive. If you have an iPhone, it’s more than likely you are using iCloud for the storage of your images and videos. If you are thinking you don’t need it, then you would probably be wrong. If you need a specific recommendation for your use case, please contact us.As a small business owner, one of the ways you should be embracing technology is by utilizing cloud storage.

Many of these clients are listed at at /interop. If you do need an end-user storage client to work with Wasabi, any storage client that works with S3 will generally also work with Wasabi. Wasabi’s approach to end-user client applications is essentially the same as Amazon S3: build a strong partner ecosystem and let the customer decide which client application works best for their needs. This 'bring your own app or client' model is in contrast to services like Carbonite, CrashPlan, Dropbox, and Google Drive (which will generally include storage client applications for end-user platforms such as Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, etc.). Wasabi is a public cloud object storage service in the same class as the following public cloud services:Īlthough Wasabi and all three of the major public cloud object storage service providers provide basic browser-based management consoles for file uploads/downloads, the dominant model is for customer to provide their own storage apps for use with these services.
