In this environment it’s easy to think that thanks to cloud systems (which are, it should be noted, widely variable in terms of what they offer and how they work), our data is always available and always secure. Indeed, the breeziness with which we use Google Docs or DropBox, and the automatic, barely noticeable way in which iCloud backups create copies of our extensive and data-heavy iPhone systems lead us to a state of blissful ignorance. This is because the very concept of cloud can elide the different ways it can be used and utilised. However, it’s not completely uncommon for the differences between cloud backup and cloud sync - which are distinctive - to be glossed over or ignored. Together, they illustrate the level of flexibility that cloud offers us, and the sheer range of options we have at our disposal when it comes to sharing and securing data. Cloud backup and cloud sync are two very different ways of managing data.
