Like any other mass communication tool over the Internet, Facebook Messenger has an immense storage capacity to save the conversations and multimedia files that its users share.
This storage space can be used to store our own content. That is, use it as a kind of hard drive in the cloud, and thus be able to have it at hand with the simple fact of opening the application on our cell phone or PC.
