Week #5

Cloud Storage is a very useful tool for anyone who uses a computer.  It allows people to save and edit files from anywhere in the world with any device.  This is a such a great feature, because it is a lot more effective and efficient when it comes to productivity and collaboration than the hard disk and network storage that most people are used to.  The only issue that I have been thinking about with cloud storage is privacy.  I can see that there may be potential for files being seen or altered that you may not want other people to have access to, so that can be a big problem.  I think for now and in the near future, using cloud storage will be great for group work and things that I absolutely want access to from any place or device, but I will be thinking twice about putting things that I want to keep private of confidential onto a cloud storage service.

For Google+ Photos and Youtube, I see them as great ways to store and share photos and videos.  I was able to share an album from Google+ Photos to our G+ CCV Multimedia Applications Community.  The album that I decided to share was "My Winter Job", so that everyone can see what it is like making snow at Jay Peak.

 I was also able to link my YouTube Channel to our G+ Community page.  Something that I learned in this assignment that I never knew before was that you can create your own channel for sharing videos that not only you make, but other videos that are already on YouTube as well.  I always knew that you could view videos and post videos on YouTube, but I never knew you could create a channel where you can share videos that you made and other videos that you like, all in the same place.  I look forward to adding videos to my channel in the future.
