i dont know yet

Explanation:

Cloud storage uses remote servers, so data is not at risk from local disasters like fire/flood affecting an external hard drive. External drives are physical and vulnerable to such local events, while cloud data is stored off-site. Other options are incorrect: cloud storage (not external drives) offers remote secure locations, easier multi-device access, and anywhere browser access.

Answer:

Unlike files stored in the cloud, data on an external hard drive is more vulnerable to disasters like fire or flood.
