Before the advent of free cloud storage, different secondary storage devices were developed to manage data storage. As the size of data increases, the sizes of storage devices also increased and became more portable. Individuals and businesses were purchasing the devices that suit their need for backups and daily usage. Not until 2006 when Amazon launched their cloud infrastructure; followed by Dropbox and Microsoft in 2007, and Google in 2010. Cloud computing was never rampant in the early 2000s, even today, many people have not heard of it.
