All the "Cloud" is is just a fancy new term to label the networking solutions boxed into a virtual machine connected to some physical server somewhere else transmitting data through some protocol. This data syncing & transmission process from one physical device to another device is what allows for server hosting solutions through the "cloud".

Anyways, now that that's out of the way, there are a ton of cloud providers available now including Google (GDrive), Microsoft (Dropbox, Azure), Amazon (AWS), Facebook, and plenty of others that essentially just exist as these cloud "stores" of information. They have the most physical servers running and so can effectively then transmit the most amount of information to connect to many devices.

They are slowly starting to become container providers as well when really they just are one big container themselves effectively.
