Cloud computing is a model that enables on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (like servers, storage, applications, and services) over the internet. It is not inherently a wireless technology; rather, it relies on internet connectivity, which can be provided through both wired and wireless means.
Google Drive is a cloud storage service that allows users to store files and access them from any device with an internet connection. It operates in the cloud, meaning that data is stored on Google's servers rather than on a local device. Users can access Google Drive’s features and files through web browsers or mobile apps, often using wireless connections such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
In summary, while cloud computing can utilize wireless technology for access, they are not the same thing. Google Drive does indeed use cloud computing.
