There is a front end and a back end of the system. The back end includes servers, computers, and the data storage systems that all make up the “cloud”. The front end is the user’s computer or device that has the cloud computing software. As the user, you  log in to the cloud software and save your digital files files on the cloud. Most users will set it up so that their digital files will automatically become part of the cloud system, as well as on their hard drives.
