The information is on the different servers, which makes sharing easier and provides you with a backup if something should happen to your hard drive. There are different services available, both public and private. Many companies choose the hybrid option, which combines cloud servers with internal data storage.
The exact size of the cloud is not known, but there are some estimates that it is an Exabyte or one billion gigabytes.
