Cloud computing for students & small teams

Cloud turns fixed costs into on-demand services. For study projects I ask:

• What needs high availability and version control? (notes, spreadsheets, slides)
• What benefits from real-time collaboration? (group assignments)
• What is sensitive and needs access controls? (grades, IDs)

Practical setup: shared folders with clear naming, view-only links for external reviewers, and MFA on accounts. Watch for lock-in; keep local exports for critical files. Goal: collaboration speed without compromising integrity or privacy.
