An internet connection is required for which storage option(s)?

Answer 1

An internet connection is typically required for the following storage options:

1. Cloud Storage: Services like Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, and OneDrive require an internet connection to upload, download, and synchronize files.

2. Online Backup Services: Solutions such as Backblaze, Carbonite, or Acronis rely on internet connectivity to back up data remotely and retrieve it when needed.

3. Network Attached Storage (NAS): When accessing NAS devices over the internet or through remote access applications, an internet connection is necessary.

4. Remote Server Storage: Using servers for data storage that are accessed remotely requires an internet connection.

5. Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting: Accessing and managing files stored on VPS requires internet connectivity.

In contrast, local storage options like external hard drives, USB flash drives, or internal hard drives do not require an internet connection.
