How does the cloud know where my data is?

When I use the web interface to get my data from the cloud, how does the cloud know where it put my data? There’s a lot of information on how the cloud stores your data, but not how the cloud keeps track of your data.

“The cloud” just means “someone *else’s* computer”. A key part of “saving something to the cloud” is keeping track of where it is – that’s one of the things that the interface is doing, invisibly to you.
