Vratislav Holub Nowadays, cloud services that are used for data storage are very popular. Of course, Apple users are closest to iCloud, which works natively in Apple products, and Apple even offers 5 GB of space for free. But this data, which we store in the so-called cloud, must be physically located somewhere. For this, the giant from Cupertino uses several of its own data centers, and at the same time relies on Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services.

According to the latest information from The Information this year, the volume of user data from iCloud stored on rival Google Cloud has increased dramatically this year, where there are now over 8 million TB of Apple users' data. This year alone, Apple paid roughly 300 million dollars for the use of this service, which in conversion amounts to almost 6,5 billion crowns. Compared to last year, it is necessary to store 50% more data, which Apple probably cannot do on its own. In addition, the Apple company is reportedly Google's largest corporate client and makes small players out of other giants that use its cloud, such as Spotify. As a result, it even earned its own label “Bigfoot. "

So there is a huge "pile" of user data of apple sellers on the servers of competitor Google. Specifically, these are, for example, photos and messages. However, there is no need to worry. The data is stored in an encrypted form, which means that Google does not have access to it and is therefore unable to decrypt it. Since time is constantly moving forward and year after year we have products that need more storage, the demands on data centers are naturally increasing. But as already mentioned, we don't have to worry about security.
