Internet Genealogy Magazine: April/May 2015

The item that caught my eye in the latest issue of Internet Genealogy, which arrived in my mailbox on Tuesday, is Cloud Storage and Your Genealogy! the cover-featured article. There's something mysterious about clouds - perhaps on a summer's day you've rested on the grass, stared up at the sky and taken the time to look at how a cloud changes. In a few minutes watch them do extraordinary things.

It seems as if cloud storage services change almost as rapidly. The article helps us catch up.

Tony Bandy tells us the cloud is just a collection of computer servers and a vast array of supporting infrastructure needed to reliably and conveniently save and deliver back computer files. He reviews the major vendors, Apple's iCloud, Microsoft's OneDrive and Google Drive plus Dropbox and services from Amazon. He also mentions genealogy companies with their cloud storage services for genealogy files, with accompanying images, before summarising trends in cloud storage services - bigger, better, more comprehensive and more secure.

Here's the complete table of contents for the issue, one that's light on British and Canadian content, with some key words highlighted.
