**Cloud storage** provides on-demand storage services over the internet, eliminating the need for physical storage infrastructure. Users can store, access, and manage data remotely through cloud providers, paying only for the storage they use.
18+
19+
## Object storage
20+
21+
Designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data. Data is stored as objects with metadata and unique identifiers. Object storage is highly scalable and commonly used for:
22+
23+
- Backup and archival data
24+
- Media files (images, videos, audio)
25+
- Web content and static assets
26+
- Big data analytics
27+
28+
## Block storage
29+
30+
Provides raw storage volumes that can be attached to virtual machines. Data is stored in fixed-size blocks and is ideal for:
31+
32+
- Operating system storage
33+
- Database storage
34+
- High-performance applications
35+
- Applications requiring low latency
36+
37+
## File storage
38+
39+
Shared file systems that can be accessed by multiple users and applications. It organizes data in a hierarchical structure and is suitable for:
40+
41+
- Shared document storage
42+
- Application data that requires file system access
43+
- Content management systems
44+
- Collaborative work environments
45+
46+
All major cloud providers offer services across these three storage categories, each optimized for different performance requirements and use cases.
