'''Cloud storage''' is a model of computer data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools. The physical storage spans multiple servers. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_storage Wikipedia])

== Archive vs Cloud ==

The "cloud-storage" that I show you here is a start towards what cloud storage is, to help you gain some understanding

=== Archive ===

'''Archive-XXXXXX''' is the name of one of the cloud storage folders I want on your [[FTP]] accounts

This is a folder on your [[FTP]] account that is next to your [[subdomain]] (not inside your subdomain)

This is a [[hidden page|hidden folder]] that is not visible on the Internet

=== Cloud ===

'''Cloud-XXXXXX''' is the name of one of the cloud storage folders I want on your [[FTP]] accounts

This is a [[hidden page|hidden folder]] on your [[FTP]] account that is inside your [[subdomain]] (not next to your subdomain)

This is a [[hidden page|hidden folder]] that is visible on the Internet

== My interview with Phoenix ==

2020-04-17 @ 9:56 AM : [[Phoenix]], are you here?

''"[[Phoenix|Here]]"''

Welcome readers. In this interview, I chat with [[Phoenix]] on the progress he has been making with regards to the use of cloud storage. Let's get right to it!

=== Introduction ===

I've been thinking of what [[Phoenix|you said]] yesterday. [[Cyber|I'm impressed]]! You said you're ready to try this out!

''"I am glad that you are impressed by the idea and [[Phoenix|I think]] it is ready to be tried out. And I am grateful for [[Cyber|you]] allowing me to use the cloud storage that you have made available to me"''

No, actually, thank you [[Phoenix]]! It was great to have someone ask me about the cloud storage I've been speaking about. You've uploaded what you wanted to?- with [[NetBeans]]?

''"[[Phoenix|I did]] everything for it in [[NetBeans]], from code to uploading and getting it working."''

=== Data protection ===

[[Phoenix|Did you]], "protect" what you have?- where you use [[hidden page|a folder that others can't find]] (so they can't, "steal" your work)

''"Yes [[Phoenix|I have]] protected it as asked, but I am looking into putting password protection on."''

Great! Well done! Proud of you...

''"Thank you [[Cyber]]"''

=== But why cloud storage? ===

Right! Tell us why [[Phoenix|you]] have done all this!

''"[[Phoenix|I'm]] glad you asked,''

''For the large files that we submit we would have to upload them to cloud storage and then share a link for the files to be downloaded to be marked and then I remembered something, part of our DTP brief was to create a filing system and as well as [[Cyber]] talking about cloud storage, along with the size of some of my files for the briefs, so this got me thinking of maybe using our websites to creating a submission system where we can upload our briefs and they could then be downloaded to be marked. This would then add to learning about cloud storage that [[Cyber]] plans on teaching us."''

Yes! This is a really good example of ...may I say(?) ...''demystify'' ...what cloud storage is all about ...not so, [[Phoenix]]?

''"[[Phoenix|I agree]], this a useful tool to have in the toolbox, it also allows the other to learn more about cloud storage and even create their own."''

[[Phoenix]], you are paving the way for the other [[student]]s. This is just what [[Cyber|I am]] looking for when it comes to marking what my [[student]]s must give me- starting with what I want at the start of next term!

''"Would this not make everything easier, instead of having everyone bombing you with emails you can just go to a site and with a click a file downloads that has all the students work asked for in it."''

=== Cloud storage vs online storage ===

Hi [[Cyber]] and [[Phoenix]], ''Cloud storage.'' Such a necessary topic for all right now.
Here's a list of [[free online storage]]

What [[our guest]] has posted regarding [[free online storage]] is nice for online bulk storage, such as...

* secure backups of local storage
* distribution of data to controlled groups of people
* a library of online files that follow you around the world

...but what [[Phoenix]] is tapping into here, is the fact that he is now the one who controls the rules over how his cloud storage works! [[Phoenix]] is now in a place where he does not pass credit to people like Google or Dropbox or Microsoft or any of the others [[free online storage|mentioned there]]. This looks far more professional! [[Phoenix]] now owns his very own cloud storage and can make this look and feel the way he wants it to! Well done Phoenix!

''"Thank you for the opportunity [[Cyber]]."''

Awesome.
That's where being a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_designer graphic designer] is awesome.

== Marking ==

* Archive folder (1)
* Cloud folder (1)

== Notes ==

* You cloud storage folder must be named, '''Archive''' ....and not something like '''Dragon.Asterix'''
* If you want more cloud storage folders, place them inside your '''Archive''' folder
