    Drop Box

  2. B.

    One Drive

  3. C.

    Google Drive

  4. D.

    LX Drive

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept: Cloud storage is a service model in which data is stored on remote servers owned and maintained by a third-party provider, then accessed and synchronized over the internet from any connected device, instead of being saved only on a local physical drive.

Application: Checking each of the four names against this definition, three of them are third-party services built exactly on this remote-server-plus-internet-access model, while the fourth does not correspond to any established file-hosting brand offering such a service.

  • Dropbox, launched by Dropbox Inc. in 2007, is a widely used remote file-storage and synchronization platform.

  • OneDrive is Microsoft's remote file-storage service, bundled with Windows and Microsoft 365.

  • Google Drive, launched by Google in 2012, is a remote file-storage and synchronization platform integrated with Google Workspace.

  • "LX Drive" is not tied to any recognized technology company or file-hosting product in the industry.

Conclusion: Since Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive are established remote/cloud storage platforms while "LX Drive" is not, LX Drive is the one that is not an example of cloud storage.
