ITPEC IP October 2025 Question 31
Which of the following is the file storage on the Internet that can be freely written to and read from over the Internet and can be used for saving files in place of USB memory or other such media?
Explanation
Online storage — disk space on an Internet server, offered as a service, where files can be saved and read from anywhere.
The provider keeps the files on its servers. The user logs in from a PC or smartphone and uploads or downloads them, so files can be carried between places and shared with others without a USB memory, and they survive the loss of a device. It is also called cloud storage, one of the cloud services.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- •(a) Cookie — a small piece of data a web server has the browser store, such as login state or a shopping cart; not a place for the user's files
- •(b) RAID — several disks combined inside one system for speed or redundancy; local storage, not a service on the Internet
- •(d) Crawler — a program that follows links and collects web pages automatically, for example to build a search engine's index
Key rule: Online storage is storage rented as a cloud service over the Internet; RAID is a disk configuration inside one system, and cookies and crawlers are web mechanisms, not file storage.
