In the beginning of Personal Computer Usage, many of us used to carry 

Floppies..
then CDs(Compact Discs)
after that DVDs, 

after introduction of Win98 and Win10/XP
all of us started using
USB Drives (Pendrives or Thumb Drives and Exeternal Hard Disks) to Store our Files
and Transfer Our files from
one Computer to another Computer...

But the Journey not yet completed...
Fast Internet connections helped us to store our files online along with offline versions...

that saved us from carrying storage devices and broken floppies & scratched CDs/DVDs... and also Crashed Computers..

Solution is On line Storage = Cloud Storage
