The term "cloud" is just a generic term that means you are storing data on a server that is remote to you, but accessible via the internet. So, whenever you are connected to the internet, with any device, you can make a temporary connection to the remote server and access your data. The data is secure because your have a user name and password that is needed to access your personal data that is stored on the remote server. There is no problem with chromebooks.
