ITPEC IP April 2026 Question 31
Which of the following is not an appropriate description of online storage?
Explanation
Enlarging the device's own auxiliary storage automatically increases online storage — not appropriate: the two capacities are unrelated.
Online storage is disk space on the service provider's servers, used over the Internet. Its capacity is whatever the user's plan with the provider allows. Adding storage to one's own PC or tablet enlarges only that device; getting more online storage means changing the plan.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) — appropriate: it is reached over the Internet, so smartphones and tablets can use it as well as PCs
- •(b) — appropriate: many providers offer a free plan with limited capacity and functions, and charge for more
- •(c) — appropriate: files can be shared with other registered users and edited together
Key rule: Online storage lives on the provider's servers, so its capacity is set by the service contract, never by the storage in the user's device.
