Your phone or computer could stop working at any moment—no warning, no goodbye. Even worse, some thief (let's call him "that crazy guy in the business of theft") might decide to take it off your hands and store it for you. Poof, it's gone. Along with it, everything you had saved—gone forever. Ouch.
Now, sure, losing your device isn't the end of the world. You can always buy a new one. But your files? You won't find those in any shop. If you're lucky, they might be something you can recreate. If not, well... that's a total loss.
Here's where the hero comes in: cloud storage. It's like having a magical backup system for all your files. And no, it's not the old-fashioned kind where you have to run a marathon of copying and pasting your files every time something changes. Cloud storage works in real-time. The moment you edit, delete, or even add a tiny dot to your file, the internet's invisible hands get to work, updating and saving it automatically.
