"cloud computing" is just a term to describe the concept, a "cloud drive" is an online (in the cloud) storage space for files, that acts for all intents and purposes like a hard drive would - except the files are obviously stored remotely, and therefore can be accessed from (theoretically) any internet-connected device.

Cloud computing and cloud drive are not the same they differ with some important things.To know more read these below.

Cloud Computing :

1.A model for delivering information technology services in which resources are retrieved from the internet through web-based tools and applications, rather than a direct connection to a server.

2.Data and software packages are stored in servers.

3.However, cloud computing structure allows access to information as long as an electronic device has access to the web. This type of system allows employees to work remotely.

4.Cloud computing is so named because the information being accessed is found in the "clouds", and does not require a user to be in a specific place to gain access to it.

5. Additionally, the cloud-like structure allows companies to upgrade software more quickly.

Cloud Drive :

1.Cloud drive is a Web-based service that offers storage space on a remote server. Cloud drives are
usually accessed over the Internet using client-side software, and are used to back up files.

2.The cloud drive providers generally give users with a restricted volume of free online storage space and the option for more in exchange for a monthly fee.

3.Cloud drives let individual users or small businesses store and synchronize documents as well as other electronic media without purchasing or maintaining file servers or external hard drives.

4.The cloud drives are ideal for backing up data of 1 terabyte (TB) or less.

5.Cloud drive service providers maintain the cloud servers, ensuring consistent availability and quick access to stored data.

Hope you might have understood.
