The chart below details many of the Internet (Cloud) file storage options available to Lehigh computer users. One of the main benefits of Internet storage is that files _can_ be shared with users outside Lehigh, and storage sizes can be quite large, with the downside being the requirements for transferring that data to and from those systems (usually with a Sync Client program, or via a web interface).
