By “the cloud” people are generally referring to all the services and storage that you are connected to across the internet. This exists on other computers owned by companies or other individuals. Yes there are lots of storage services available from Apple iCloud to Google Drive to OneDrive (Microsoft) to lots and lots of others. They tend to work in slightly different ways. Some just “backup” your device and you can’t really use them as a replacement for browsing photos for example. Others do exactly this. Most have a small amount of free space available after which you pay. If you are looking to free up space on your SSD I would make sure the one you go with is a well known, reliable one, as they will be the only ones with a copy of your data- you want to make sure they look after it properly!
