Google is one of the most prominent companies offering cloud-based computing — computer programs that run on the web within your browser. The advantage to cloud-based computing is that you don’t need to constantly upgrade your programs to the latest version. That’s done automatically for you. If you choose to store files online, then your files are backed up for you as well.
