Cloud computing is becoming more popular everyday due to its low cost, flexibility, and mobility. The only issue with cloud data storage is the distrust in its security measures.
For solos and small firms, the price of running a server system may be extremely expensive. You have to make sure your files are backed up properly and you must fix any technical issue that may arise. With cloud computing, a minimal monthly fee is charged to store your data in a remote area. You are not responsible for the servers and will not need to pay maintenance fees if the server fails.
One of the major benefits of cloud computing is the ease of accessing and transferring data files. The files can be accessed wherever there is Internet connection. Files are both stored on your computer hard drive as well as the cloud. Moreover, no additional computer programs are needed to sync all of your devices.
Although cloud security seems faulty, the ABA has given approval to allow attorneys to use the cloud. As long as the attorney understands how the cloud service operates, then she is not in violation of any ethical duties. Cloud computing is rising in the legal world, and is a reliable tool to keep track of records.
