** The [[Storage (memory)|storage]] of the local device is partially or fully copied into the cloud. An example is [[Dropbox (service)|Dropbox]], in which a user can create a folder in the cloud, and have access to the folder and its contents on the local device once synchronization is complete. Since the user can access files at any time without the need for constant [[Internet access]], this category meets the independence feature of dew computing. SiD also meets the collaboration feature because the folder and its contents automatically synchronize with the cloud service.<ref name=":0" />

* Database in Dew (DBiD)

** The local device and the cloud both store copies of the same [[database]]. One of these two databases is considered the main version and can be defined as such by the [[database administrator]]. This service increases the reliability of a database, sinceas one of the databases can act as the [[backup]] for the other.<ref name=":0" />

* Software in Dew (SiD)

** The configuration and ownership of software are saved in the [[Cloud computing|cloud]]. Examples of this are the [[Apple App Store]] and [[Google Play]], where the applications that the user installs are saved to their account and can then be installed on any device linked to that user's account.<ref name=":0" />
