Explanation

Cloud storage lets a customer reach data files from any device anywhere at any time when internet is available, which is statement 1.

It removes the need for an external storage device or the same computer to store and retrieve data, which is statement 2.

It is typically supplied by a cloud service provider, statement 4, who runs the remote servers.

Statement 3 is false because a slow internet connection does hamper accessing or downloading files.

Cloud storage depends on connectivity, so weak links directly slow data transfer.

Providers such as Google Drive and Dropbox keep the data on distributed remote servers.
