Cloud v. External Drive
Cloud backups are backups that happen automatically. The user doesn’t have to make new folders within the cloud to backup the info. Cloud backups typically back up new/changed data on your computer to the cloud. This functions differently than a Cloud Syncing system e.g. OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, etc. These programs allow users to work from a folder across devices.
External drives are exactly that: External Hard Drives, e.g. flash-drive, external drive, etc. External drives are a great option to have because it is a copy of your information offsite, untouched by the device until you insert it in the USB.
