As per the definition, the cloud comprises the data located in servers (computers having information that other computers can share) all around the world. Cloud has helped to globalise the data, which means that the data stored in one part of the world can be accessed in any other part of the world. Changes made to one file are not localised, and the same is reflected on every computer that accesses the file.
