5 Reasons Why The Cloud Shouldn’t Intimidate You

For starting entrepreneurs, cloud storage might still be a foreign concept but it’s been around ever since the introduction of e-mail. Cloud storage is an application of cloud computing technology in which resources are retrieved from the internet through web-based tools and applications rather than a direct server connection.

If it still doesn’t make sense, think of cloud storage as a form of online backup. Your business keeps digital copies of important documents all the time, not to mention the files sent over through your message inbox. If you advocate a paperless system, then it’s more convenient for you to save all your stuff online and not worry about your I.T. support every time something goes wrong with your hardware.

Klink is a cloud-hosting website that is designed to be simple, easy, and allow everyone to access and celebrate their stuff online. Based in Australia with a development team in Texas, Klink is entering the Southeast Asian market due to the wide reception of mobile and app technology among users.

However, the real question is not whether you know about the Cloud, but “why aren’t you using it?” Klink is the easiest and most intuitive cloud storage site on the web right now. Here are 5 things you should know about the Cloud that shouldn’t intimidate you.

1. It stores your documents, photos, and videos

It’s no different from saving a file on your computer. “Think of your Klink account as a folder which you can put your files in. The only difference is, while you can only access your computer’s files from that computer, you can access your Klink account from ANY computer with internet connection!” Michele Lim, Group Manager of Klink, says. “Klink gives 2 GB per user on their first sign up and an extra 500 MB per successful referral.”

2. It’s protected with encryption security technology

If anything, encrypted files should enable you better in your work since you don’t have to worry about its security. As long as you don’t give out your account password, all files in the cloud are sure to be kept safe. Klink makes sure you access data via secure websites that begin with “https” (the “s” after “http” means the connection is secure).

3. It’s cost-effective and has very low upkeep

If there’s a free service available online, why would you pay an expensive server to store large amounts of your data? What makes Klink different is its thumbnail view of your files which makes it cleaner and simpler to organise. For startups and cloud newbies, Klink makes it easier to collaborate especially when employees or team members are working remotely.

4. It allows sharing with other users

Files and documents on the cloud has a corresponding URL which makes it easier to share access–especially for those larger files! Imagine the joy of no longer attaching files to your emails anymore. You can just copy and paste the link that Klink gives you to allow both public and private users to view, or if you want to share some top secret stuff, just use a Klink private share and nominate who you want to send it to. Those people will have to sign into their Klink accounts with a usernae and password (or create a free account) to be able to see what you’ve shared.

5. It’s available anywhere you go

Klink saves your files in all your gadgets — laptop, desktop computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. As long as you have internet, your files and documents are easily accessible anywhere you go. Unlike Apple iCloud, Klink works across both Android and iOS devices so all your gadgets can work in harmony!
