# The Cloud Storage Guide Welcome to The Cloud Storage Guide, your one-stop place for all things cloud storage. There are a lot of cloud storage providers out there, and each of them approach data storage and collaboration in a slightly different way. With different file architectures, collaboration tools, pricing, and limitations, choosing the right platform and optimizing it for your use case might seem impossible. The Cloud Storage Guide brings these differences in one place, so you can quickly compare cloud storage providers and learn how to learn and optimize accounts. ### Using The Cloud Storage Guide The Cloud Storage Guide is broken down into three sections. #### **CLOUD STORAGE PLATFORMS** This section gives an overview of a specific storage platform and provides advice for setting up accounts and how to do basic tasks such as adding users, drives, permissions, and sharing structures. Each platform has a general overview of the platform and what makes it unique, then an in-depth breakdown of how the platform handles Users and Groups, Storage and Sharing, and Reporting and Auditing. #### PLATFORM COMPARISONS Comparisons are objective, direct comparisons between different cloud storage platforms. These comparisons will show the pros and cons of each and what type of work styles are best for different platforms. The final comparison summarizes the two platforms' strengths and weaknesses compared to each other and recommends what type of businesses and use cases each is better suited for. #### **WALKTHROUGHS (COMING SOON)** Walkthroughs are step-by-step guides for advanced or complicated setups and configurations to help optimize accounts. Use these to avoid having to navigate complicated documentation from the provider and for a quick and simple setup guide.
