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.
