In the present times, users no longer need to do this and instead, they can login to the Email service hosted on the cloud where they have the option of reading and storing the Emails on the cloud or in cases where they are required for important purposes or for legal and other reasons, they can decide to download the mails to the desktop or the laptop. Take for example Email wherein in earlier years, users had a client side application that would connect to the server and download the mails which were then stored on the desktop. In other words, a cloud hosted application means that client side installations of the software or the product are no longer required and all that the users have to do is to login to the cloud hosted application where they can access all the features of the product or the software. This is the rise of cloud computing where applications and products are no longer hosted on the desktops or on laptops and instead, the users can directly access such services from the “cloud” or the layer between the client and the server that makes the client side hosting and accessing redundant in the process.
