The key thing to note here is the question specifically suggests that the files “needs to be available all the time”. Cloud storage would not be available all the time if an internet connection is not always available – there isn’t enough information in the question to suggest whether an internet connection would always be available or not, but I think it’s safe to assume this a factor to consider because the question emphasizes the need for the files to always be available.
I’m still thinking C. I wouldn’t want the chance of the confidential files to be lost or stolen if it is on an external drive or laptop and there are hotspots and VPNs to edit the information.
D – External drive – What if the salesman happens to be somewhere without an internet connection? The cloud drive would be useless. But an external drive would always be there.
Is cloud storage better than physical storage?
With the emergence of the cloud computing, the dependence on physical storage devices has reduced drastically. … Cloud technology is more reliable, affordable, secure, and elastic than the traditional storage.
