I keep hearing the term cloud software, but I’m not totally sure what it means or how it differs from regular programs installed on a computer. Some people say it’s software that runs online, others mention storage, apps, and remote servers.

Cloud software is any application or service that runs on remote servers and is accessed over the internet instead of being installed on a local computer. It allows users to store data, collaborate, and use tools from anywhere. Common examples include Google Drive, Office 365, and Dropbox, offering flexibility and easy updates.

Cloud software is application software that contains remote servers and accessed by the internet rather than being installed on the local computer. It enables users to save information on the internet, access and use it anywhere, have automatic updates, and expand resources with ease which in many cases is on a subscription basis.

Cloud software is internet based software that is executed on remote computers and is connected to the internet rather than a local computer. It enables users to access information at any place, it is automatically updated, scaled easily, and paid using subscription-based pricing models.
